Matt Damon is spending some quality time with BFF Ben Affleck and his recently reconciled lady love Jennifer Lopez.
TMZ has photos of the trio was spotted enjoying a leisurely stroll along the beach in Malibu, near Paradise Cove.
Sporting a blue shirt and navy pants, Ben held hands with J.Lo who rocked a flowy white swimsuit cover up. Matt walked alongside them in his white shirt and dark shorts, which he accessorized with a black cap and dark sunnies.
Ben and J.Lo, who fans have dubbed Bennifer when they first started dating in 2002, were previously engaged before calling it quits in January 2004. Almost two decades later, the two began sparking reconciliation rumors following their respective splits from Ana De Armas and Alex Rodriguez earlier this year.
After numerous PDA sightings, the couple went public with their romance on J.Lo’s 52nd birthday in July, as they enjoyed a romantic vacation around the Mediterranean.
Matt, who’s childhood friends with Ben, has shown his support for his bestie’s rekindled romance from the get-go – even when it was all just speculation.
“It’s a fascinating story. I hope it’s true. I love them both. I hope it’s true. That would be awesome,” he said on the Today show in May.
After Bennifer became Instagram official, Matt no longer played coy on the matter.
“I’m just so happy for him. He’s the best. He deserves every happiness in the world,” Matt told Extra at the premiere of his film Stillwater, adding, “I’m glad for both of them.”
When he appeared on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show, co-host Jess Cagle also brought up the topic with the actor, pointing out, “You’re very happy for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. I know you love getting asked about that.”
“Right. But how else would I be?” Matte responded, quipping, “Like, would I be unhappy? Like, ‘I hate true love,'” he replied at the time, before joking, “It sucks. Yeah. Yeah. I wish them nothing, but you know, hardship.”
Matt also recently appeared on Desus & Mero, where he shared his thoughts on how Bennifer’s rekindled romance is different from their previous relationship in the early aughts.
“I have to say, the press was particularly terrible to them, like, 18 years ago,” Matt said. “What’s nice is that at least they’re being nice this time around.”
He also jokingly added, “They’re on vacation right now, but he still responded when I hit him up about the Red Sox yesterday…You still have priorities!”
