Jennifer Lopez and Matt Damon were photographed holding hands during an intimate conversation at the Toronto International Film Festival amid her divorce from his close friend Ben Affleck.
The pair shared a sentimental moment while having a private chat at an afterparty to celebrate their new movie, “Unstoppable,” which premiered on Friday.
Lopez stars in the project, which was produced by Damon and Affleck’s company, Artists Equity.
An eyewitness previously told People that Lopez, 55, and Damon, 53, chatted for over 20 minutes during the soirée held at The Ritz-Carlton’s EPOCH Bar & Kitchen Terrace.
According to the source, they “began talking and had a long, deep conversation.”
The discussion reportedly started after J.Lo sat down with the “Jason Bourne” star and his wife, Luciana Damon, at an outdoor table.
Affleck, 52, did not attend the TIFF premiere.
The event marked Lopez’s first red carpet appearance since filing for divorce from Affleck on Aug. 20 — the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding.
The “Let’s Get Loud” songstress made a statement in an iridescent Tamara Ralph gown that featured open sides tied together with black velvet bows.
She completed the head-turning ensemble with metallic platform heels, a Judith Leiber clutch and Hassanzadeh diamonds.
While there appears to be no hard feelings between Lopez and Matt, the “Instigators” actor also publicly showed support for Affleck amid his longtime pal’s highly publicized split.
Days after J.Lo’s divorce filing, the “Argo” star was seen grabbing dinner with Matt, Luciana and their daughters at Italian hotspot Toscana in Los Angeles.
The newly single father of three was reportedly in a good mood as he arrived solo and joined the family inside the restaurant.
