Jennifer Lopez was seen finding some emotional support from Matt Damon, longtime friend of her ex-husband Ben Affleck, as the two shared a heartfelt moment at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The duo, who have maintained a strong bond over the years, were spotted holding hands and engaging in what appeared to be an emotional conversation during the after-party for J Lo’s new movie, Unstoppable.
PEOPLE reported that Lopez and Damon took a break from the festivities to catch up in a private moment that lasted around 20 minutes. While the details of their discussion remain private, insiders suggest J Lo may have been opening up about her recent split from Affleck. Lopez filed for divorce last month after rekindling her romance with Affleck, and reports indicate the couple had no prenup in place.
Despite the heavy emotions of the conversation, Damon appeared to play the role of a supportive friend, providing a listening ear and comfort. Damon, who co-produced Unstoppable through his and Affleck’s production company, Artists Equity, has been a close friend to both Lopez and Affleck over the years.
Ben Affleck was noticeably absent from the film’s premiere, though he was seen shortly after the split grabbing dinner with Damon, his co-star from Good Will Hunting.
Lopez seems to be focusing on her career post-divorce, attending the festival with confidence while leaning on friends like Damon during this challenging time.
