Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were spotted clocking in at work in the same office building more than two weeks after Lopez filed for divorce.
On Wednesday, Sept. 4, Lopez, 55, was seen separately arriving at a building in Los Angeles where both she and Affleck, 52, have offices. Affleck was then seen driving away from the same building some 30 minutes later in his car.
The sighting comes as Affleck continues to move to his new $20.5 million home in L.A. Lopez, meanwhile, was photographed in public for the first time since her divorce filing as she arrived at an event in Beverly Hills, Calif. Aug. 30.
The next day, the “This Is Me… Now” singer shared a collage of moments from her summer on Instagram and wrote in a caption, “Oh, it was a summer.”

A source close to Affleck recently told PEOPLE he is “doing well” and “slowly moving into his new home” in the wake of Lopez’s divorce filing.
Lopez listed a separation date of April 26 in her filing, which came on the the two-year anniversary of their 2022 Georgia wedding celebration.
“He’s where he wants to be: close to his kids and in a neighborhood that he loves,” the source said. “He enjoys working too, and is very focused on the positives.”

At the same time, a Lopez source told PEOPLE that the star “still feels very fortunate” about her life even though she feels “some bitterness” after her breakup.
“She’s surrounded by family, friends and her kids,” that source said. “She always manages to have a positive outlook. The divorce is difficult for her, but she always finds a way to move forward.”
Lopez is expected to attend the Toronto International Film Festival in support of her new movie Unstoppable, which makes its world premiere at the festival on Friday, Sept. 6.
Affleck produced the film, a wrestling biopic inspired by the life of Anthony Robles, with his longtime friend Matt Damon and their company Artists Equity. Damon, 53, is also expected to attend the festival, while Affleck will likely be absent from its red carpet.
