Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck continued to integrate their families on Friday night when they took their children to an outdoor movie screening in Los Angeles.
The 52-year-old Hustlers star and the 49-year-old writer-turned-director looked as loved-up as could be as they locked arms while leaving the School Of Rock screening held at Los Angeles Historic Park in Downtown LA’s Chinatown neighborhood.
The outing comes amid a new report from People on Friday suggesting the A-listers are ready to get back to their busy film careers in the next few months.

She carried a cream-colored handbag decorated with red floral designs and wrapped her arm around Ben’s while sweetly nuzzling her cheek against him.

Making the most of their time: The actors, who both looked glamorous on Monday when they walked the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York City, may not have as much free time to spend with each other in the upcoming fall months
Jennifer was seen hugging her daughter before they got into a white SUV, though it wasn’t clear if she left with them or went home with Ben and his daughters.
The actors, who both looked glamorous on Monday when they walked the red carpet at the Met Gala in New York City, may not have as much free time to spend with each other in the upcoming fall months.
Sources told People on Friday that the two were looking forward to getting back to professional obligations soon.
‘They are very grateful for their fun summer,’ the insider said. ‘It’s all about work for the next few months. Ben will head to Texas next week. Jennifer starts filming in Canada in October.’
Ben will be working on the action-thriller Hypnotic, which will be directed by Sin City and Grindhouse auteur Robert Rodriguez.
He plays a detective who becomes tangled up in an investigation into the disappearance of his young daughter and a secret government program.

Jennifer will begin filming the action film The Mother next month, which marks the first film of her multi-year production deal with Netflix.
The movie is being directed by Niki Caro, who most recently helmed Disney’s live-action Mulan remake.
The Waiting For Tonight singer will play an assassin who comes out of retirement to protect the daughter she abandoned years earlier, even as other assassins are hot on her tail.
‘They seem ready for it,’ the source added of the actors.
Jennifer completed work on her comedy Marry Me — which costars Owen Wilson as her love interest — back in 2019, while Ben will be reunited with his good friend Matt Damon in Ridley Scott’s period piece The Last Duel.

Ben and Jennifer came back into each other’s lives around the time of her split from baseball star Alex Rodriguez earlier this year.
The couple had previously dated in the early 2000s and had been engaged from 2002 until early 2004, before separating.
But according to TMZ, Ben got back in touch with Jennifer in February and began sending her ‘loving and longing’ emails while she was on set filming.
It’s unclear if she and Alex were together at that time, or just keeping up appearances, but she continued responding back and forth through the duration fo the shoot.

In April, Ben was seen driving to a hotel, only to be picked up in Jennifer’s SUV and taken to her home in LA for them to spend time together.
The two kicked things up a notch in May with a week-long trip to snow Montana, and then followed that one up with another trip to Miami, where she and her family were based at the time.
It wasn’t until June that the renewed lovers were spotted kissing at a birthday party for Jennifer’s sister Lynda Lopez.
They repeated the gesture in a steamy set of photos in June to mark the singer’s 52nd birthday.
In recent weeks the couple have been seen touring houses around Los Angeles, and Jennifer’s kids are reportedly comfortable with Ben and up for a move back to the West Coast.
