Jennifer Lopez and Matt Damon hold hands at TIFF
Jennifer Lopez stars in the new sports biopic Unstoppable, produced by childhood friend and business partner Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artists Equity. While Affleck skipped the premiere and the red carpet, possibly to avoid any uncomfortable encounters with Lopez amid their ongoing divorce proceedings, Damon attended the event and even posed with her. An eyewitness told PEOPLE that the popstar and Damon, 53, had an intense and lengthy conversation that lasted more than 20 minutes during the event at the Ritz-Carlton’s EPOCH Bar & Kitchen Terrace.
After posing for a few group photos and chatting with co-stars, J.Lo was spotted sitting at the same table where Damon and his wife Luciana Damon were sitting. Lopez was the talk of the night as she stunned on the red carpet in a metallic Tamara Ralph gown. This is also her first red carpet appearance after filing for divorce from Ben Affleck.

Did Jennifer Lopez remove Ben Affleck’s tattoo?
As soon as the Jenny From the Block singer arrived in a custom outfit, the openings of which were tied with a black velvet bow, fans immediately noticed something major was missing. It was noticed that the tattoo Jennifer had on her rib was covered up. On Valentine’s Day last year, the Gigli co-stars got matching infinity sign tattoos with their names, celebrating their rekindled romance and upcoming first wedding anniversary. “Commitment. Happy Valentine’s Day my love,” she captioned the photo at the time.

Jennifer Lopez has erased the tattoo she got for Ben Affleck,” one person posted on X (formerly Twitter), sharing a photo that included a recent TIFF photo of Lopez without the tattoo and an old mirror selfie in which she showed fans the tattoo. “Yeah it’s gone or maybe she covered it up; they’re getting a divorce,” another user wrote, adding a sad emoji.
JLo has reportedly filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on their second wedding anniversary. The couple had been living separately for some time, with Affleck moving to the Brentwood area to be closer to his kids and ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Several sources have mentioned that the singer tried her best to save the marriage, but Affleck was the first to give up.
