In the midst of a highly publicized divorce from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez was spotted looking effortlessly stylish in ripped jeans while visiting a friend in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles.
The 55-year-old singer and actress made quite an impression as she stepped out of her sleek black SUV, showcasing her chic ensemble.
Recently, she also shared a daring braless selfie on Instagram, proving that she’s embracing her individuality during this tumultuous time.
Lopez officially filed for divorce from Affleck, 52, last month, citing irreconcilable differences.
Just over the weekend, the former couple had a brunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel with their children, a gathering that reportedly sparked speculation about their relationship status.
Eyewitnesses claimed they were seen holding hands and sharing kisses, only to later engage in what appeared to be a serious discussion that left Lopez visibly emotional.
On this particular outing, Lopez opted for a light blue shirt paired with her trendy ripped jeans, complemented by open-toed high-heeled shoes.
She carried a light brown purse, keeping her look effortlessly chic.
Her hair was styled in a high bun, with loose strands framing her face, and she accessorized with large hoop earrings and a fashionable gold bracelet.
It’s clear she is not letting her personal challenges dull her sparkle.
The recent brunch marked the first time Lopez and Affleck had been together since the divorce filing on August 20.
Accompanying them were Affleck’s sons—Finn, 15, and Samuel, 12—from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner, as well as Lopez’s twins, Max and Em, who are now 16.
The family dynamics seem to remain intact, with Affleck’s eldest daughter, Violet, 18, currently off at college.
Sources close to the couple revealed to Page Six that the reunion included moments of affection, but it didn’t end without tension.
After their meal, Lopez and Affleck were seen conversing seriously in their vehicle, where she seemed to brush away tears.
Shortly after, Jennifer Garner arrived to pick up their children, while Lopez and Affleck drove off together, leaving many to wonder about the state of their relationship.
Despite the emotional rollercoaster, insiders maintain that the lunch was intended to be a fun outing for the kids.
According to a source speaking to PEOPLE, Lopez is striving to maintain a friendly atmosphere for the sake of their children.
“Jennifer doesn’t want to be selfish about it,” said the insider, emphasizing how important the kids’ happiness is to her.
Financial matters are also being addressed amicably.
Along with citing irreconcilable differences, Lopez has requested no spousal support, indicating that both parties will cover their own legal fees.
This practical approach suggests that while their romantic relationship may have ended, they are committed to navigating this transition with respect for one another.
Interestingly, the couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement, which could complicate the financial aspects of their split.
They are currently working on selling their lavish Beverly Hills mansion, which has been listed at a staggering $68 million.
This move reflects their desire to start fresh, even as they navigate the complexities of co-parenting.
As Lopez embarks on this new chapter, she is also set to star in a romance film alongside Brett Goldstein, known for his role in “Ted Lasso.”
This exciting project could provide a welcome distraction and an opportunity for creative expression during a challenging period in her life.
In a world where celebrity relationships often play out in the public eye, Lopez’s ability to maintain her composure and style amidst the chaos is commendable.
