Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were spotted in Santa Monica with Ben’s mom, Chris, but they opted for air kisses instead of real smooches in public. The couple seemed to keep a bit of distance between them, refraining from even pecks on the cheek and instead going for the classic air kiss.
While they walked arm-in-arm briefly, there wasn’t much physical contact between them, especially considering Ben’s mom was with them, indicating this wasn’t a romantic outing.
This isn’t the first time Jennifer has been seen out recently. She was photographed entering a studio in L.A. on Friday, looking a bit tired, which came shortly after she announced the cancellation of her tour. She cited a need to focus on her family, a decision that seems understandable given the recent challenges between her and Ben.
Although they’re not living together anymore, they’ve been seen together frequently, including attending Ben’s daughter Violet’s graduation. However, their hand-holding at the event seemed tense.
While they’re spending a lot of time together, the air kiss exchange might not reassure fans about the state of their relationship.
