We now have pics from that night out between Jennifer Lopez and Matt Damon. You know, at the film festival afterparty that her estranged husband (and Matt’s BFF) Ben Affleck ditched!!
As we reported over the weekend, J.Lo and the Rounders lead got together at the Toronto International Film Festival and had a very “deep conversation” at an afterparty there while celebrating their new movie Unstoppable. But we didn’t know how deep, exactly, until the pictures started coming out! And oh, boy, these pictures are SOMETHING ELSE!!!

Basically, the snaps confirmed that the 55-year-old singer and the 53-year-old actor chatted while in very close quarters together for more than 20 months at the event, which was held at the Ritz-Carlton‘s EPOCH Bar & Kitchen Terrace in Toronto. The duo wasn’t just talking, though! They were HOLDING HANDS during the chat!!! Ch-ch-check out the pics that confirm it (below):
Lopez, of course, is the star of that Unstoppable movie, which was produced by Artists Equity — the production company run by Damon and Affleck. So, there are plenty of close connections in play here. But most notably, of course, is that Matt is caught between his lifelong best friend Ben and his longstanding connection to J.Lo as the couple’s marriage crumbles in the public eye. No doubt, these two must have had a very heartfelt convo at that film festival soiree. And the fact that Ben himself didn’t even bother showing up for the film fest definitely says a lot, too. Wow!!
