Ben Affleck proved to be a supportive boyfriend as he was spotted attending girlfriend Jennifer Lopez’s performance at Global Citizen Live on Saturday night. 

Jennifer, 52, was among the musicians who took to the stage at New York’s Central Park during the 24-hour event, which aimed to call on world leaders to adopt a Covid vaccine equity policy.

During her show-stopping set, the singer delivered fan-favourite hits such as If You Had My Love and Love Don’t Cost A Thing before she reunited with Ja Rule and LL Cool J for their respective collaborations Ain’t It Funny and I’m Real. The singer also debuted a new track, On My Way, which she has recorded for her upcoming rom-com Marry Me, which is set to arrive early next year. 

After the show, Jennifer was seen walking hand-in-hand with boyfriend Ben, 49, who had snuck in to watch the performance from a private location, as he wasn’t seen arriving at the park. 

The couple were seen sharing a warm embrace with Ben wrapping his arms around the pop star as they stood by their car while waiting to be whisked back to their hotel. Bennifer was in high spirits after Jennifer’s big performance as they were seen bursting into laughter mid conversation. 

Ben’s efforts in supporting his partner are particularly touching as he’s believed to have started filming his new movie, Hypnotic, in Texas earlier in the week.

A source recently revealed the couple would be torn apart due to work commitments over the coming weeks and months; in addition to Ben’s movie project, Jennifer is also expected to start shooting The Mother, her first film with Netflix after signing a multi-year production deal with the streaming service, in Canada.

A source told People: ‘They are very grateful for their fun summer. It’s all about work for the next few months. Ben will head to Texas next week. Jennifer starts filming in Canada in October. 

‘They seem ready for it.’ 

Jen and Ben reunited in April following her split from fiance Alex Rodriguez and 17 years after they first dated. Bennifer were one of Hollywood’s hottest couples in the early noughties and they got engaged in 2002.

However, they called off their wedding days before the lavish nuptials were due to take place before confirming their split in 2004.
