In New York City, pop icon Jennifer Lopez and actor Ben Affleck were photographed together during a casual outing, a moment captured by Trendy that sparked chatter across social media. The sighting drew amused reactions from fans who had followed the couple’s relationship since they rekindled their romance years ago. Previously, Affleck often appeared somber in paparazzi shots when alone; with Lopez by his side, fans noted a shared mood that seemed to soften the mood, even if the expressions remained subtly pensive.
Social feeds lit up with comments like “At least they look equally unhappy now,” “She doesn’t look happy around him,” and playful comparisons such as “Two Hachikos are waiting for someone.” The consensus among commenters was that the duo appeared to be entertaining their audience with a hint of humor about their public image. These remarks were widely amplified across platforms as fans weighed in on the couple’s dynamic in real time. [Citation: Trendy]

After reuniting in 2021, nearly two decades after their split, Affleck and Lopez stepped onto the Venice Film Festival red carpet as a couple.

The media has tracked these milestones with extensive coverage, highlighting the long arc of their relationship and the personal milestones intertwined with their high-profile careers.
