In the midst of her ongoing divorce from estranged spouse Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez presented a stunning physique at the Toronto International Film Festival.
At the event on Friday, September 6, the 55-year-old singer of "Jenny From the Block" donned a Tamara Ralph dress that was floor-length and adorned with silver paillettes down the front, as well as vents on both sides.
The gown's side openings were secured by three substantial black velvet bows, which also revealed the Marry Me star's exposed skin. Jennifer opted for a neutral, smokey lipstick that was natural in color, and she let her brunette hair cascade down her back.
Jennifer was in attendance to promote her film Unstoppable, in which she co-starred and co-produced with Ben, 52, and his lifelong closest friend, Matt Damon. The “Argo” star's absence from the film festival was not unexpected, as the "Let's Get Loud" songstress filed for divorce on August 20, two years after their marriage. Nevertheless, Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana Damon, were present.
Matt, 53, and Jennifer engaged in a conversation for more than 20 minutes at the afterparty before Luciana, 48, and “Unstoppable” co-star Don Cheadle joined them, PEOPLE Magazine reported.
“Jen and Matt began talking and had a long, deep conversation,” an unnamed source told the entertainment news outlet.
The anonymous insider added that “the two friends laughed and spoke more seriously, and for several minutes, they clasped hands as they spoke.”
The true tale of professional wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with only one leg, is recounted in "Unstoppable." Jennifer portrays Judy, Anthony's mother, in the film, and the athlete ultimately emerged victorious in the 2011 NCAA wrestling championship.
“I think it was my job really to help her feel safe. Both of them, Anthony and Judy, to feel safe and kind of put this in our hands and trust us with all the information that they could give us and know that we wouldn’t misuse it in any way, but only use it to tell their story in the best and most beautiful way that it deserved. Because it is one of the most beautiful, most inspiring stories I think I’ve ever seen on screen,” the “Hustlers” star said during a Q&A session after the screening of the movie.
Ben and Jennifer were initially rumored to be on the brink of divorce by In Touch Weekly in May, following the exclusive disclosure by an undisclosed informant that the “Armageddon” star had relocated from their marital residence. In the subsequent month, an additional tipster disclosed that Matt was endeavoring to avoid any controversy regarding the former couple's relationship.
“When it comes to couples’ time, there’s just a lot less drama for Matt and Lucy when they’re hanging out with Emily Blunt and John Krasinski than during the increasingly rare times that they get to sit down and hang out with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Just because of the way Jennifer conducts herself, even around her friends, she’s a very hard person to let your guard down around, whereas John and Emily are the definition of easygoing,” the mole stated.
