Paparazzi photos printed in the New York Post
on Monday showed the two actors kissing while enjoying a meal
with members of Lopez's family at Malibu's posh Nobu sushi
restaurant west of Los Angeles on Sunday.
Representatives for Lopez, 51, declined to comment on Monday,
while Affleck's publicists did not return a request for comment.
Lopez and "Argo" director Affleck, dubbed "Bennifer," became the
most talked about couple in the celebrity world in the early
2000s in a romance marked by his-and-her luxury cars and a large
6.1-carat pink diamond engagement ring. They abruptly called off
their wedding in 2003 and split up a few months later.
The pair have been pictured together several times in Los Angels
and Miami in recent weeks, after Lopez and her former baseball
player fiance Alex Rodriguez called off their engagement in
mid-April after four years together. Monday's photos were the
first in which Lopez and Affleck were seen kissing this time
around.
Celebrity outlet E! News quoted an unidentified source last week
as saying Lopez was planning to move from Miami to Los Angeles
to spend more time with Affleck, 48, and was looking for schools
for her 13-year-old twins Max and Emme.
Max and Emme, along with the singer's sister Lydia, were also
photographed walking into the restaurant in Malibu on Sunday.
Lopez married Latin singer Marc Anthony, her third husband, just
five months after her 2004 split with Affleck. Affleck went on
to marry, and later was divorced from, actress Jennifer Garner.
