Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's teen children Emme Muñiz and Fin Affleck have a truly remarkable step-sibling relationship.In April 2024, Damon showed his support for Lopez in a very noteworthy way. Damon did this by attending an event where Lopez was presented with the Premio Orgullo (Pride Award) by the Hispanic Federation.
As anyone familiar with Damon's career will already know, he is a very busy man. As a result, the fact that Damon took the time to be there to celebrate when Lopez received that award speaks volumes.
In addition to Damon attending Lopez's awards show, they have socialized at times seemingly without Affleck involved. Also in April 2024, the paparazzi captured photos of Damon and Lopez going to a restaurant to enjoy lunch together. If Affleck joined them for lunch, the paparazzi didn't capture photos of his arrival, which would be surprising.
According to People's article about Lopez and Damon's lunch, they met for a meal in New York City. The famed duo reportedly had their meal in a restaurant named Sadelle's in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood.
Damon also brought his wife, Luciana Barroso, to his lunch with Lopez. That fact seems to indicate that reports claiming Lopez and Barroso can't stand each other are inaccurate as well.
