LOS ANGELES (AP) – There was a hush-hush “Gigli” reunion in the front row at the Oscars.

After “Citizenfour” was crowned best documentary, Ben Affleck went over to Jennifer Lopez during a commercial break and whispered something to her. His words prompted the “American Idol” judge to playfully smack the “Gone Girl” star – and her famous ex – across his arm.

Lopez and Affleck of course were once engaged, as well as co-stars of the notorious flop “Gigli.”

After saying hi to Lopez, Affleck moved down the aisle and whispered something in Bradley Cooper’s ear. The “American Sniper” star didn’t slap him, however.
