Internet is buzzing over new photos of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez at the same event with their daughters, sparking the comment, “Poor Children.”
Both stars barely avoided a face-to-face encounter, adding more fuel to their ongoing drama.
Last month, rumors swirled after they appeared together in public, leading some to speculate a possible reunion. However, their latest appearance crushed any hopes of that.
Attending an event in Los Angeles with children from their previous marriages, they seemed to do everything possible to avoid each other.
According to Daily Mail, which shared the paparazzi shots, Lopez spent the evening with her daughter, Emmy, looking visibly upset. Meanwhile, Affleck stayed close to his other ex, Jennifer Garner, and their daughter, Seraphina (now known as Finn).
By the end of the night, the stars even exited through separate doors to avoid crossing paths. It’s sad, as fans recall they once made such a beautiful couple.
The seemingly harmless photos caused a stir online. Some think Affleck’s recent personal life struggles are to blame, wondering why he’s still leaning on Garner, years after their breakup.
Others criticized Lopez’s outfit, saying her glamorous jumpsuit and stilettos looked out of place next to the more casual Affleck and Garner.
But on one point, many agree: “Poor children.” Seraphina and Emmy are known to be close, and fans worry that all the family tension is taking a toll on them. Some even speculate that the girls’ recent style changes might be tied to the instability in their newly blended family.
