Onlookers previously noted that the ‘Jason Bourne’ actor and the ‘Let’s Get Loud’ songstress talked for over 20 minutes at the afterparty following their group photo on the red carpet with the ‘Unstoppable’ cast, including Don Cheadle, Jharrel Jerome, and Bobby Cannavale.

An insider previously revealed to People that Jennifer Lopez was sitting at a table with Matt Damon's wife, Luciana, and her 'Unstoppable' co-star Don Cheadle when Damon joined the group.

The source said, “Jen and Matt began talking and had a long, deep conversation.”

Damon, who is also a friend of Lopez because of her history of relationship with Affleck, appeared to support the 55-year-old actress by holding her hand during the conversation. 

Now, photographs of the two old friends have surfaced as they held hands with the 53-year-old actor seemingly lending his support to Lopez, per Page Six.

Damon was present at the TIFF to promote the movie 'Unstoppable' based on wrestler Anthony Robles’ life. It has been produced by his and Affleck’s Artists Equity. 

Lopez, on the other hand, starred in the film as Robles’ mother - Judy. 

Her red carpet appearance at the TIFF marks her first one since filing for divorce from Ben Affleck on August 20. 

The ‘Maid in Manhattan’ star sparkled in a revealing blingy silver Tamara Ralph gown for her outing. The mother-of-two completed her look with a Judith Leiber purse, Dolce & Gabbana platform heels, and jewelry from Hassanzadeh.
