The insider explained that their kids were also nearby at the restaurant, ‘but at a separate table.’ At the end of brunch, Jennifer Garner arrived to pick up her and Affleck’s kids while the exes left in a car together.
DailyMail.com reached out to the representatives for comment about the shock PDA claims but did not receive an immediate response.
On Sunday, the Atlas actress certainly looked in high spirits as she modeled a sexy, backless dress with puffy sleeves made up of an airy, white linen material.
For her outing, she threw up her hair in a carefree, messy updo and appeared to be sporting little to no makeup.
She carried a brown suede drawstring bag with a black leather crossbody strap as she walked through the yard and toward the front door.
She sported oversize sunglasses during the sunny day and accessorized with large gold hoop earrings and a matching chain necklace.
She also wore various bangle bracelets and rings on her right hand.
The meeting comes after curious public antics from the pair in recent weeks.
J-Lo was seen holding hands with Ben’s best friend Matt Damon – and Ben was later caught planting a kiss on Damon’s wife Luciana.

On September 6, the Jenny from the Block singer and the Bourne Identity actor appeared deep in conversation at the Unstoppable premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
They kept their heads close together in what was described as a serious, 20-minute exchange.
Reports suggest that Lopez was eager to discuss her estranged husband with Damon in the aftermath of their split, but sources claim the actor wasn’t interested in the topic.
‘Matt Damon shut down any attempt that JLo made to discuss Ben at the premiere,’ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively.
‘It was her timing that was so awkward because she would have known that pulling Matt aside at the event to have an intimate talk was going to get picked up and go viral.’

The source continued: ‘Her whole hand on his hand was a nice touch – but he was not having any of it.’
‘He told her he is glad she is doing well and is thankful for her participation in the film – but he made it clear he was not there to talk about Ben at all.’
Then on September 13, Affleck was seen enthusiastically greeting Damon’s wife of 19 years as he arrived at his LA office.
Affleck kissed Luciana her on the side of the head while clad in a navy suit.
Matt and Ben have been friends for more than 40 years.
They broke onto the scene in a big way in 1997, winning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Good Will Hunting.
Affleck is a producer on Unstoppable, a sports drama about Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and goes on to become a champion wrestler in college, competing against the very school that rejected him. Jennifer plays a supporting role in the film.
Earlier this summer, a source commented on the fact that the Let’s Get Loud singer spent months trying to salvage her relationship but in the end she couldn’t get past the ‘darkness’ in him.
‘She loves him, she will always love him, that’s the problem,’ a source close to the Wedding Planner actress told Page Six.
‘Ben has a darkness to him that no other person can fix. Jen Garner couldn’t fix it, all the success in the world couldn’t fix it,’ the source continued.
J-Lo reportedly hoped Ben would show up to her Bridgerton-themed 55th birthday bash in the Hamptons in July, but he didn’t.
‘She truly believed this was the greatest love story she’d ever known and she was finally getting her chance at the fairy tale,’ the insider claimed.
The source added: ‘She just really didn’t stop to consider who the actual man was in the fairy tale.’
The Marry Me star filed for divorce from the Argo director last month on the second anniversary of their 2022 wedding.
