Speaking of her close relationship with Marc, Jennifer previously told The View: "There's a reason we're not together, but we're great friends and we're parents together. We met working, and that’s where we’re really magical, when we're on stage together, and so we leave it there. That’s it."
The singer has since rekindled her romance with Ben Affleck, with the couple making their own red carpet debut at the Venice Film Festival earlier this month.
