Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck stepped out for a romantic date in California over the weekend after they celebrated Thanksgiving together.
The "Hustlers" star, 51, and "Justice League" actor, 49, were photographed getting cozy outside Wolfgang Puck's Spago bistro in Beverly Hills Saturday after eating dinner at the restaurant.
In photos obtained by Page Six, Affleck wrapped his arms around Lopez as they waited for their car to arrive from the valet. He appeared to be holding a bottle of sparkling water as he embraced his girlfriend.
Lopez seemed to love her boyfriend's sweet gesture, with one photo showing her resting her head on his chest with her eyes closed. They were also photographed holding hands as they exited the restaurant.
Lopez looked chic in a fuzzy sand-colored coat that fell below her knees. She paired the look with red pumps with a clear topline and accessorized with a small gold purse. She tied her hair back and wore minimal makeup.
Affleck, meanwhile, wore a charcoal blazer, black pants and black shoes for the dinner date.
The couple's sighting came days after they reportedly spent Thanksgiving together Thursday – their first time celebrating the holiday together since their 2004 split.
Lopez took a break from filming her latest project in Vancouver, Canada, and flew to Los Angeles to spend the holiday with Affleck and her 13-year-old twins Max and Emme, an insider told People. She shares her kids with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
The singer-actress has been busy filming her upcoming Netflix thriller "The Mother" and was looking forward to a well-deserved break after an "intense" few weeks of work.
"Jennifer flew back to L.A. from Vancouver to celebrate Thanksgiving with her kids and Ben. The last few weeks have been intense for her," the unnamed source said. "It's been hard for her to be away from her kids and Ben. She is very much looking forward to a short break."
Earlier in the day, Affleck also celebrated Thanksgiving with his three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner — daughters Violet, 15, and Seraphina, 12, and son Samuel, 9.
Affleck and Lopez are planning to celebrate Christmas together as well, another unnamed source told People.
"[Jennifer] loves Christmas," the insider added. "This year, it will take some more planning since Ben wants to be with his kids too. They haven't made any specific holiday decisions yet and are still working it all out."
Lopez's film "Marry Me" hits theaters on Feb. 11. "The Mother" is expected to be released on Netflix sometime next year.
