KEY POINTS

  • Jennifer Lopez hosted "Saturday Night Live." 
  • Jennifer Lopez had dinner with Lindsay Shookus and the "SNL" team.
  • Jennifer Lopez and Lindsay Shookus rumored to have bad-mouthed Ben Affleck.

Ben Affleck’s exes are rumored to be ganging up on his in private.

According to Woman’s Day, Jennifer Lopez hung out with Lindsay Shookus after her stint on “Saturday Night Live.” Shookus is an executive producer on the show.

An unnamed source told the tabloid that Affleck’s exes shared a cozy night in New York, which suggested that they were the only two people who went to dinner together. However, this wasn’t the case. The entire “SNL” team bonded with Lopez after her appearance.

Lopez and Shookus reportedly talked about Affleck while having a meal together.

“If I know Jen and Lindsay, neither of them would’ve held back on talking about Ben. Particularly Lindsay, who saw the worst of him as they tried to sort out his drinking problem after his divorce from Jennifer Garner,” the source said.

The insider said that Lopez was more relaxed during their outing, and she simply laughed at Shookus’ stories. Alex Rodriguez’s fiancée reportedly realized that she and Shookus have a lot in common.

However, these claims should be taken with a grain of salt since it’s unlikely for Lopez and Shookus to dig up old wounds during such a happy gathering. The dinner was organized to celebrate Lopez’s appearance on “Saturday Night Live” and nothing else.

It is also important to note that Lopez’s fiancé was present during the dinner celebration. As such, it is unlikely for Lopez to talk about someone from her past while her future husband is around.

Three years ago, Lopez told People that she and Affleck loved each other genuinely. Even at that time, it was evident that Lopez and Affleck were on good terms after their split. It is unlikely for Lopez to suddenly hold a grudge against her ex-boyfriend.

Shookus has not publicly addressed her previous relationship with Affleck. It is unlikely that she will do so now. Earlier this year, Us Weekly claimed that Shookus and Affleck rekindled their romance, but it was shortlived.
