While there appears to be no hard feelings between Lopez and Matt, the âInstigatorsâ actor also publicly showed support for Affleck amid his longtime palâs highly publicized split.
Days after J.Loâs divorce filing, the âArgoâ star was seen grabbing dinner with Matt, Luciana and their daughters at Italian hotspot Toscana in Los Angeles.
The newly single father of three was reportedly in a good mood as he arrived solo and joined the family inside the restaurant.
