This is seriously " the ultimate plot pull , " and I ’m live on for it .
So I’m sure you’re aware thatJennifer LopezandBen Affleckrecentlysplit up(again), aftertwo years of marriage. It’s the talk of the town.
The pair got back together in 2021 after breaking off their first engagementback in 2004— so yeah, these two have averylong history.
And another person Ben Affleck has a long history with?Matt Damon. The pairgrew up together, joined the industry together, costarred in several movies, and even wroteGood Will Huntingtogether, for which theywon their first Oscars.
Essentially, they’re a dynamic duo, a lifelong pair of BFFs.
And Matt Damon — who has been married to producer Luciana Barrososince 2005— was also abig supporterof J.Lo and Ben’s relationship.
In 2021, when rumours began circling that the couple was getting back together, Matt responded by praising them:“I love them both.I hope it’s true. That would be awesome.”
So you’d think that Matt’s closeness with Ben would mean that he wouldn’t have much to do with J.Lo now that she and Ben are no longer together. Right?
BUT WE ARE MISTAKEN. Because there’s a new development in all this drama, and it’s HUGE. Last weekend at theToronto International Film Festival (TIFF), both Matt Damon and Jennifer Lopez were at an afterparty for the premiere of their new movie,Unstoppable…
…and at said party, Matt and J.Lo were seen sitting together, having a"long, deep conversation.“While HOLDING HANDS.

Meanwhile, although Ben Affleck was also a producer on the movie alongside Matt Damon, he wasn’t at thepremiere or afterparty.
I know, I know — it’s shocking. But if you think about it, they’ve known each other for a long time, so Matt is probably just supporting J.Lo as a friend.
But still, it’s verrrrry interesting to see them interact so closely. Like, does this mean Matt has picked a side?? Naturally, the internet has a TON to say:
