00:00Well Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez still getting divorced, but but they were together over the weekend
00:07And not just together. Yeah, they were they were showing PDA. There was affection there that people at the Beverly Hills Hotel
00:14they went to the polo lounge together and
00:18They were all the kids with all the kids so not just them
00:21they were there with their kids, but they were showing affection and there were people in the room who felt like
00:27Wait, aren't they getting divorced?
00:29What's going on here? They they kissed
00:32They held hands and that picture doesn't look particularly friendly, right?
00:37There were some tense moments also in the photos that were taken of them
00:41And I think the fact that the photos were being taken might have been what was really causing the tension
00:47Just a note about the Beverly Hills Hotel where they went
00:51typically
00:52You you can if you're a celebrity and you go there you're fairly confident
00:56There won't be photos of you because there's a long long driveway and they keep
01:01Paparazzi away from there. So it's a pretty safe place if you don't want to be seen right, but occasionally
01:08the paparazzi find a way in there and
01:11These photos were taken of them. And I think they were taken off guard by that but
01:17Back to the PDA because that's just confusing
01:20It was clearly confusing to people in the room and I would think maybe confusing to their kids
01:26And by the way, we are told the divorce is still on
01:31Despite the PDA and also when they were inside having lunch. I know we mentioned that they were with their kids
01:37They were actually sitting apart from their kids. So it was their kids on one table and then them together
01:44One-on-one and another table and I can't imagine what that conversation would be like as you guys know
01:49we broke the story that JLo filed for divorce from Ben just last month and
01:54They didn't have a prenup we're told and this is not gonna be an easy divorce. It's kind of messy
01:59There's a lot of assets at play here. They're still trying to
02:03Unload their mega mansion that's on the market for way too much. I mean, there's a lot of
02:09buttons that need buttoning and
02:12They just I can't imagine what they're talking about one-on-one at this table, so
02:17Here's what we absolutely know that
02:21Whatever is going on with the PDA and frankly, I mean, it's the word of the year which to me. It's weird
02:26I don't get it because there's been a lot of acrimony in this divorce and I thought maybe they have they have not spoken
02:34For long periods of time. I know they are
02:38Negotiating now and the negotiation has gotten really
02:42Contentious and it's one of the reasons this has gone on for months because there's no custody issue
02:48The only thing they have to do is divide up property and they have had a real difficult time
02:54Coming to terms with this
02:56So we are told this divorce is on that whatever happened at the hotel
03:01Over the weekend has no bearing on this divorce, right?
03:05but I you know
03:06you said something about the acrimony and I think maybe that's what the the PDA is about that they want to at least show the
03:12Kids and maybe it's weird and maybe other weird in the room that show what that they can get along
03:19Yes, we're gonna divorce but we can get along
03:20Is that here's how you get along here's how you get along you sit and you talk and you laugh
03:24But to kiss and to hold hands, I'm sorry. It's weird
03:28It's I mean I can't I can't the winner is not being weird it is weird
03:33I'm dying to know whose idea was this like because JLo
03:37I can't imagine she would file for divorce and then be like, hey you want to grab lunch?
03:41but then also on the flip side if you're Ben and
03:44Your wife of almost two years files for divorce against you. You're not gonna be like, hey, you want to catch up?
03:50Like it's just so weird, by the way
03:52By the way from that photo till they arrived together this wasn't showed up separately
04:00She filed for divorce
04:02He was the first to leave he left the family house. He bought his own house
04:07So it's not like he's like, oh my god, you filed a divorce. She's falling for doors. He was out
04:11I
04:12Also think that JLo knows exactly what she's doing whether the paparazzi is being held from going to Beverly Hills Hotel or not
04:19She's always gonna be seen and this was definitely a plan
