Here's How Jennifer Lopez Apparently Feels About Those Photos Of Ben Affleck Hugging Jennifer Garner
Earlier this month, suggestive photos went viral of Ben Affleck giving his ex, Jennifer Garner, a really tight hug at their son's birthday party.
They share three kids: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, who turned 13th this month. Garner and Affleck were married in 2005, announced their split in 2015, and their divorce was finalized three years later.
With this new viral photo, of course, the internet speculated there was more behind the hug, which could spark drama considering Affleck and Garner's other relationships since their split.
If you remember, after rekindling their relationship in 2021 and getting married in July 2022, Affleck and Lopez filed for divorce, which marked their second high-profile split since they broke off their first engagement in 2004.
In January 2025, the divorce was finalized after nearly 20 weeks, so it makes sense why people would wonder how Lopez feels about Affleck seemingly cozying up with his previous ex-wife.
According to an insider obtained by People, Affleck and Garner "have been on good terms for a while now and seem to enjoy chatting and hanging out." The insider clarified that "most of the time, the kids are around too," so it feels like nothing more than a co-parenting situation.
As for Garner, she's been dating John C. Miller, the CEO of CaliBurger and its parent company, CaliGroup.
The source added that Affleck "usually acts happy around" Garner and has been "extra giddy lately, though, and much more affectionate."
So, how does the "On The Floor" singer feel about all these viral photos? According to a source obtained by People, Lopez "isn't bothered" by the cozy photos "at all."
The source claims, " Jennifer Garner knows what it is and knows what it is not. And people are reading into it in a way to create drama where there is none."
The source added that Lopez "doesn't feel betrayed" and "I think the two Jens are great admirers of the other, and I think they're all co-parenting."
In case you wanted some mess, you're out of luck. It's copacetic in the world of Ben's ex-Jennifers. "There is no animosity. They are friendly," the source continued, "We're always pitting women against women. In this case, it's just not the truth."
Personally, I find it very admirable that Ben and the Jennifers have maintained a decent co-parenting relationship for the children. It's far better than the Bravo-esque drama people are searching for. Tell me what you think about this in the comments.

One Sushi Park Trip, Two Pant Changes for Kendall Jenner
It's a long, hot summer, until it's not. And Kendall Jenner has a seasonal wardrobe she wants to make use of. The model was photographed arriving for dinner with friends at the West Hollywood strip mall sushi joint of celebrity choice, Sushi Park. (The spot has welcomed regulars from Selena Gomez to Hailey Bieber multiple times this summer—the $400 Omakase must be that good). On arrival, she wore a black bateau neck sleeveless top and a black sweater tied around her shoulders, white silk straight-leg pants, and black criss-cross open-toed mule sandals. As usual, she added an angular brown shoulder bag from The Row. She kept her hair in her usual middle part, loose and relaxed, with minimal makeup and jewelry save for a dainty gold bracelet. So far, so summer. Photo: Backgrid Later, Jenner was photographed again leaving the restaurant, toting a leftover bottle of wine. She had shed the sweater, but also seemed to have swapped her set of pants in favor of some black capris. Because what's a girl to do when you've more summer trends to tick off than you have nights out on the town? Or when you've dropped a piece of crab roll on your pants. Capris have loomed large this summer—usually worn Audrey Hepburn in Sabrina-esque with a boatneck top or flowing, breezy shirt, little mules or kitten heels that make a failsafe fit that's sleek and elegant, day or night. It's an outfit formula regularly employed by Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber. While the capri length can cause some division, the white pant is unarguably a timeless summer staple. Hitting both in one night? A straight 10. Photo: Backgrid AKGS Photo: Backgrid The Kendall Jenner summer school of style has steadily been banking the season's buzziest trends: Sheer dresses and polka dots on the beach, the Gen-X boot and jean tuck, the 'tomato girl' aesthetic of summer's yore even in the mix. Always, of course, with a piece from The Row: a Marlo tote, the Cecily top-handle, or the cult original Margaux bag—and sometimes, the flip-flop du jour. The days are already getting shorter, the nights chillier, but rest assured Kendall Jenner has all the summer looks on lock she'll make time for.

Peter Dinklage Unveils His 'Mop-Wielding Superhero' in 'The Toxic Avenger Unrated' Preview at Comic-Con
Peter Dinklage and Elijah Wood are bringing toxicity to San Diego Comic-Con. Kicking off the first day of the convention in famed Hall H on Thursday, July 24, filmmakers behind The Toxic Avenger Unrated (in theaters Aug. 29) treated fans to an early glimpse of the long-awaited superhero reboot. Dinklage, 56, who plays janitor Winston Gooze and voices the titular mutant vigilante he becomes after a poisonous freak accident, took the stage alongside costars Wood, 44, Jacob Tremblay and Taylour Paige, as well as writer-director Macon Blair and producer Lloyd Kaufman. Dinklage called taking on the iconic and slimy role of "mop-wielding superhero" Toxie 'an easy yes' thanks to a personal hero: filmmaker and fellow panelist Kaufman, who created the original Toxic Avenger film of 1984, set in Dinklage's native New Jersey. 'Environmental concerns are an ongoing thing, now more than ever," said the Game of Thrones Emmy winner. "The great way to get into that is through satire, through the backdoor, through humor.' Dinklage also said he was a 'huge fan' of Blair. 'This just felt so perfect and necessary and needed.' Wood's appearance in the new Toxic Avenger as Fritz Garbinger shocked fans when the film's trailer premiered in September 2023. Following a Fantastic Fest premiere that year, Blair's film was stalled due to difficulties in securing a distributor. Cineverse and Iconic Events Releasing will release an unrated version of the film beginning Aug. 29. 'There's a beating heart in there,' said Wood when asked about playing the apparently villainous Fritz. Overall, he added, 'I love the horror genre because of the possibilities. This movie is filled to the brim with ideas, and fun and playing with the medium.' When asked for the most charming thing about the movie, Paige, 34, quipped, 'That I'm in it.' The actress also gave the disclaimer that as a new mother she's 'three months postpartum... I can't put sentences together.' Tremblay, 18, plays Winston's sulky son Wade. His character's feelings toward his onscreen father differed from how he felt about Dinklage, he said, explaining, "I had to hold it together and just pretend I didn't absolutely love this guy.' Dinklage returned the favor, calling the cast 'top-knotch," including his body double, Luisa Guerreiro, who plays Toxie in a suit of prosthetics. "Over 70% of my performance is not me,' he explained. 'For me, that was an exercise in trust, in relinquishing something that was important to me… [Guerreiro] studied all my movements like a hawk and does a better me than I do.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The 1984 Toxic Avenger film, starring Mark Torgl in the lead role, was followed by three sequels, as well as a brief animated children's TV show, a stage musical, a video game and a Marvel comic. The Toxic Avenger Unrated, costarring Julia Davis, Jonny Coyne and Kevin Bacon, is in theaters Aug. 29. San Diego Comic-Con 2025 runs July 24 to 27. Read the original article on People

Nicole Kidman said she swears by this sweaty ritual — and her daughters are in on it too
Nicole Kidman, 58, says she enjoys a good sweat session. "I love doing hot yoga right now, so I feel really good about an hour after that. My daughters and I, we do it together, and we call it the glow up," Kidman told People in an interview published on Thursday. "We look red-faced and ragged when we come out, but about an hour later, wow." The "Babygirl" actor has two teenage daughters with her husband, musician Keith Urban. She also shares two adult children, whom she adopted with her ex, Tom Cruise. Apart from practicing yoga, Kidman told People about her other self-care habits. "I'll ask for a hug. I meditate, I pray. I have an enormous support system of friends. And I've done so much research on the human mind because of my dad being a psychologist, so I'm a big believer in breath work," Kidman said. She added that these are "tiny tools that you can have in your toolkit." Something as simple as smiling, even when she doesn't feel like it, can also do wonders for her mood since "it's almost like you trick yourself into a state of being," Kidman said. A representative for Kidman did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by BI outside regular hours. Hot yoga refers to yoga styles done in rooms with high temperatures and humidity. It can help improve flexibility and strength and reduce stress. What makes hot yoga appealing is the same thing that draws people to saunas and hot tubs, John Porcari, a professor of exercise and sport science at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, told Business Insider for a 2021 story. Kidman is one of the many celebrities who have opened up about how they care for their body and mind. In May, Keke Palmer told BI that she practices Pilates every morning. "It's the moment of my day that I get to myself, even if I'm in a class with other people. It's just me, feeling it, existing in the world, and doing something for myself. It's really meditative," she said. Earlier this week, WNBA star Caitlin Clark said she rewatches old Disney movies to unwind. "The other day I watched 'The Parent Trap,' which literally never gets old, even though I know every single word in it," Clark said.
