Jennifer Lopez and Matt Damon hold hands while chatting at TIFF

Jennifer Lopez and Matt Damon were photographed holding hands during an intimate conversation at the Toronto International Film Festival amid her divorce from close friend Ben Affleck.

The couple shared a sentimental moment during a private conversation at an after-party celebrating their new film “Unstoppable,” which premiered on Friday.

Lopez stars in the project, which was produced by Damon and Affleck's company Artists Equity.

An eyewitness had previously reported to “People” that Lopez (55) and Damon (53) chatted for over 20 minutes during the soirée at the EPOCH Bar & Kitchen Terrace of the Ritz-Carlton.

According to the source, “they started talking and had a long, deep conversation.”

The discussion reportedly began after J.Lo sat at an outdoor table with the “Jason Bourne” star and his wife Luciana Damon.

The event marked Lopez's first red carpet appearance since filing for divorce from Affleck on August 20, the second anniversary of their wedding in Georgia.

The “Let's Get Loud” singer made a statement in a dazzling Tamara Ralph dress, the open sides of which were held together with black velvet bows.

She completed the stunning ensemble with metallic platform shoes, a Judith Leiber clutch and diamonds by Hassanzadeh.

Although there are apparently no hard feelings between Lopez and Matt, the “Instigators” actor also publicly showed his support for Affleck in light of his much-publicized split from his longtime friend.

A few days after J.Lo filed for divorce, the “Argo” star was spotted having dinner with Matt, Luciana and their daughters at Italian hotspot Toscana in Los Angeles.

The newly single father of three was reportedly in good spirits as he arrived alone and joined his family at the restaurant.
