The couple made their first red carpet appearance in 18 years at the Venice Film Festival last week.

Lopez, 52, and Affleck, 49, first began dating in 2002, got engaged the same year but broke up in 2004. They went on to pursue other relationships but reconnected earlier this year.

Lopez caused quite a stir while arriving to this year's Met Gala. The singer's dark brown Ralph Lauren gown, which featured a plunging neckline and a faux fur shearling cape, took the label over 200 hours to create.

In an Instagram post, the American fashion designer said the look involved "15 specialized embroiderers, over 12 days of work, and more than 25,000 design elements."
