The former couple also share 18-year-old daughter, Violet, who is away for her freshman year at Yale University.
Saturday marked Lopez and Affleck’s first sighting together since the “On the Floor” songstress filed for divorce in August, citing irreconcilable differences.
Lopez, who listed their separation date as April 26, decided to pull the plug on her marriage with the “Argo” star on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony.

Affleck and the “Jenny From the Block” singer’s divorce reportedly “has the potential to get ugly” as they navigate their split sans a prenup.
Per California state law, the two are required to divide the income they’ve made since marrying.
Throughout their marriage, the former couple have starred in several films and Lopez has launched her cocktail brand, Delola, which reportedly put her net worth at $400 million.

Affleck, meanwhile, has a net worth of $150 million less than his estranged wife.
The “Gone Girl” star and Lopez also purchased a lavish Beverly Hills mansion together, which has since hit the market for $68 million since they split.
The mom of two’s search for a new home continues as Affleck snagged a $20.5 million mansion in Pacific Palisades in July.
