Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were spotted together Saturday for the first time since the "On the Floor" hitmaker filed for divorce from the Oscar winner last month.
The 52-year-old actor and the 55-year-old singer were photographed with their children as they arrived together for lunch at Los Angeles' Beverly Hills Hotel in a black SUV.
The former couple were seen exiting the vehicle and then walking side-by-side into the hotel.

Last Friday, Lopez stepped out for the premiere of "Unstoppable," the movie she worked on with Affleck, but he was a no-show.
Lopez starred in the biographical sports drama, produced by Artists Equity, the production company Affleck co-founded with Matt Damon.
The Grammy Award nominee turned heads in a revealing metallic silver gown tied up at the sides with black velvet bow when she walked the red carpet at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.

The same day, Affleck was spotted wearing a dark blue suit and sunglasses while strolling through the garage of a building in Los Angeles.
While on the red carpet, Lopez posed for group photos with Damon and other members of the cast, including Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale and Don Cheadle.
Following the premiere, the actress reportedly had a lengthy one-on-one discussion with Damon at the "Unstoppable" afterparty, which was held at EPOCH Bar & Kitchen Terrace at The Ritz-Carlton.

The source said that the pair's conversation took place after Damon joined his wife Luciana Damon, who was sitting with Lopez and Cheadle at an outside table.

The premiere in Toronto marked Lopez's first major public appearance since she filed for divorce from Affleck on Aug. 20, the two-year anniversary of the former couple's Georgia wedding ceremony.
Lopez cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their split, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.
She listed their date of separation as April 26 and additionally stated that she did not want either her or Affleck to be awarded spousal support, according to court documents.
