Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were seen sharing an awkward air kiss as they reunited at his son’s basketball game in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The Hustlers star, 54, and the Argo director, 51, arrived separately at a local YMCA to cheer on his 12-year-old son Samuel.
The pair greeted each other outside but opted not to kiss on the lips, instead proceeding to do an air kiss, with Ben seemingly patting his wife on the back, before they headed into the event together.
Afterwards the duo looked glum while grabbing some fast food at the Jack in the Box drive thru, amid ongoing rumors of marital woes.
The outing comes after the singer cancelled her US tour ‘to be with her children, family’ after her album flopped and Netflix movie Atlas was panned by critics.

Also at the event was Affleck’s mom, Christopher Anne ‘Chris’ Boldt, as well as his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52.
Chris later departed the sporting event with her former daughter-in-law.
During one sweet moment the 13 Going On 30 actress was pictured helping her former mother-in-law get into her car.
Lopez looked chic in a long-sleeve black top and blue jeans. She wore her honey-toned tresses down for the occasion, and sported lightly tinted sunglasses.
The Maid In Manhattan actress carried a black leather purse with her and donned her signature gold hoops.
Meanwhile the father-of-three — who is Lopez’s fourth husband — looked casual cool in a red t-shirt, blue jeans, sneakers and a red corduroy jacket.
His mom wore a black cardigan over a blue top and matching black pants.
Garner was effortlessly chic in a brown sweater, blue jeans, black loafers and a brown hat.
Earlier in the day, Lopez was seen at a farmer’s market with her 15-year-old child Emme, which could explain why she arrived to the event separately from Affleck.

Jennifer Lopez arrives at a friends house sans Ben Affleck
Jennifer welcomed Emme – who’s used they/them pronouns since 2022 – and twin brother Maximilian David Muñiz during her seven-year marriage to four-time Grammy winner Marc Anthony, which ended in 2011.
They wed in 2004 following Lopez’s first shock split with Affleck that same year. Anthony and Lopez separated in 2011 and their divorce was finalized in 2014.
It’s been a week full of family outings for Affleck. He and his ex-wife were seen together on Saturday, as they attended another one of their son’s games.
The actor was pictured wearing his wedding ring, despite the ongoing divorce rumors. Meanwhile Ben and Lopez attend his daughter Violet’s graduation ceremony earlier on Thursday.
They were joined by her twins Max and Emme, as well as Ben’s other children.
While strolling through a crowded parking lot, Ben and Jennifer were seen holding hands before leaving in separate cars to return to their own residences.
Beforehand, the stars also were spotted together as they made an appearance at a special graduation bash to celebrate Violet’s milestone.
The couple – who tied the knot in 2022 – are currently ‘living separately.’ Affleck has been staying in a $100k-a-month rental in Brentwood with Lopez residing in their $60 million mansion in Los Angeles.
It was recently revealed that the Brentwood home is only a mere two blocks away from the mother of his children, who is reportedly desperately trying to help Ben save his two-year marriage to Lopez.
Despite their marital woes, a source told People on Friday that Ben and Jennifer ‘still want to put the kids first,’ adding that the two ‘have always been very family-oriented.’
