Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck can't keep hands off each other at Met Gala

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are packed on PDA ever since they made their relationship official at the Venice Film Festival. The couple also stole the show at Met Gala 2021 as they marked another milestone by appearing together. They also shared a COVID-19-safe kiss with their masks on. 

Jennifer Lopez and her actor-director beau Ben Affleck marked upon their first Met Gala on September 13. They wore outfits by Ralph Lauren for their joint appearance. JLo arrived in a rustic gown with a plunging neckline, thigh-high slit and feathered trim. She went the extra mile by coordinating her outfit with a cowgirl hat. The popstar accessorised her look with silver and leather jewellery and metallic heels. On the other hand, Ben Affleck stunned in his simple yet dapper black tuxedo.

The couple did not walk the carpet together and rather met inside where they stopped for a few photos. Since the couple was inside the museum, all COVID-19 safety protocols were in place. They even wore protective masks matching their outfits. The couple showed their love by kissing each other despite the face masks.
