Her timing was bad, as per the sources, since she would have known that dragging Matt aside for a private conversation at the gathering would be picked up and shared widely.

A look at Ben Affleck and JLo’s separation and Damon’s advise

Prior to their separation, Damon reportedly advised his best friend to “focus on his work”.

“Matt tried to warn Ben when he got back together with JLo that this could happen,” a source said.

Lopez made a stunning appearance on the red carpet for the first time since filing for divorce from Affleck on August 20 when she wore a revenge dress inspired by a disco ball.

Meanwhile, Affleck chose to stay at home rather than take the chance of getting into any argument with his ex-wife on the red carpet. Damon and Affleck are producers of the sports drama Unstoppable, which follows Anthony Robles, a man who was born without a leg and goes on to become a professional wrestler.

Lopez, who has a supporting role, seemed upbeat that evening because “Unstoppable means a lot to her,” a source stated.
