Jennifer Lopez<\/strong><\/a> and Ben Affleck<\/strong><\/a> are keeping a little breathing room between them \u2026 quite literally it seems, \u2019cause they\u2019re opting for air kisses over real smooches in public!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The couple \u2014 who have been through the wringer in recent weeks \u2014 stepped out with Ben\u2019s mom Chris<\/strong> in Santa Monica Sunday but avoided any lip contact whatsoever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n We\u2019re not just talking mouth-to-mouth either \u2026 \u2019cause they straight up avoided pecks on the cheek too \u2014 choosing instead to go with the classic socialite air smack.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n BA gave a thumbs up to the camera while walking with J Lo, and the two strolled arm-in-arm for a second or two \u2026 but, quite frankly, there isn\u2019t a whole lotta contact between them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Plus, Ben\u2019s mom\u2019s hanging out with them \u2026 so, safe to say this isn\u2019t some kind of romantic rendezvous.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n It\u2019s the second time photogs have caught Jennifer out this weekend. As we told you \u2026 she walked into a studio in L.A. Friday looking a bit worse for wear<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 photos taken hours after she announced the cancelation of her tour.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n She says she canceled the tour<\/strong><\/a> to focus on her family \u2026 a good reason to back out of her commitments, given all the difficulties between her and Affleck.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Remember, the two are no longer living together<\/strong><\/a> \u2026 but, they\u2019ve made an effort to seem somewhat united, including attending Ben\u2019s daughter Violet<\/strong>\u2018s graduation \u2014 though their hand-holding appeared very tense<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n At the very least, the two are spending a lot of time together \u2026 but, this air kiss won\u2019t fill fans of the couple with confidence.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n![\"Ben](\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1717374537_174_Jennifer-Lopez-and-Ben-Affleck-Share-Air-Kiss-While-Out-in-Santa-Monica.jpg\" "\\"Affleck\\"")
