This is them… now.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck deliberately avoided locking lips in public when they met up in Santa Monica, Calif., on Sunday for his 12-year-old son Samuel‘s basketball game.
Instead, the couple was photographed smiling and giving each other air kisses while saying hello outside of the YMCA. They were also seen walking side by side without holding hands.
Despite the noteworthy lack of PDA, the duo appeared to be in good spirits as they were joined by Affleck’s mother, Anne Boldt.

The Oscar winner’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, was also in attendance for the sporting event.
The reunion came after JLo, 54, and her child Emme, 16, hit up a flea market in LA earlier in the day.
An eyewitness told Page Six that the “Waiting for Tonight” singer did not seem very upbeat as she and the teen shopped around for about 45 minutes.

The unexpected career move may be related to speculation that she and the “Argo” actor are on the brink of divorce.
