PDA is typical for Bennifer at movie premiere date nights; they last kissed at The Mother‘s premiere in late May.

Affleck and Lopez are as adoring of each other in words, too. In early April, Affleck had high praise for Lopez’s skills as an artist and singer during his SmartLess podcast interview.

“Here’s this incredible actress and this incredible performer,” he said, via Billboard. “And then we’re sitting in the car, you know, and I’m humming along, like I will, you know, to the radio. And then a professional singer goes ahead and sings along and you kind of feel like, ‘Well that’s embarrassing.’”

“I do love her music, it’s brilliant and I know all of it,” he continued, noting that he knows her songs “Dear Ben” (from 2002’s This Is Me…Then) and “Dear Ben Pt. II” (from the upcoming This Is Me…Now) are about him. “The songs that have been written about me have been written by the greatest performer in the history of the world, Jennifer Lopez. I don’t know if they are exactly about me as maybe inspired by me, because there are some negative things in there. She’s amazing.”
