In the midst of the «humiliating» Ben Affleck divorce turmoil, Jennifer Lopez looks effortlessly stylish while still sporting her wedding ring while having lunch with her 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme
Despite persistent rumors of her split with Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez looked stylish as she went to lunch on Saturday with her twins, Max and Emme, in Beverly Hills.
The 55-year-old Atlas star, whose close friends «can’t stand» the Good Will Hunting actor due to the couple’s marital problems, stopped for a snack while spending time with her kids.
Affleck, 51, ‘hasn’t had the smoothest summer,’ a source said, adding that Lopez has reportedly been ‘left enraged and humiliated’ amid the separation drama.Jennifer looked effortlessly put together for the weekend trip, sporting a dark gray blazer and loose-fitting denim trousers.
She put on strappy, open-toed shoes and effortlessly pulled her hair back into a sleek bun, letting her bangs gently land on her forehead.
She added stylish shades and a big pair of silver hoops earrings to complete the ensemble.
During the lunch outing, the singer of On The Floor held a few necessities in her left hand, a white Hermes purse.
Even if there have been increasing speculations of a breakup between Lopez and Ben, it appears that she still wears her wedding band on her left hand, two years after the celebrities got married in 2022.
Max and Emme, her teenage twins, whom she shares with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, were seen dining with their mother in Beverly Hills.
When Jennifer arrived at the restaurant, she got out of a black SUV and was seen grinning briefly.
In the midst of Lopez and Affleck’s marital troubles, a source recently told People that Ben has had a challenging summer.
«This summer hasn’t been the easiest for him either.» The insider told the magazine, «He’s just trying to stay focused and make every day as good as possible.»
«Ben is doing great.» He has been working nonstop and thrives when he is occupied. The children are still not in school. He also spends a great deal of time with them.
With his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, he is the father of three children: Violet, 18, Fin, 15 (formerly known as Seraphina), and Samuel, 12.
The Oscar winner moved from a $100,000-per-month rental in Brentwood to a $20.5 million house in the Pacific Palisades last July.
Lopez has been residing at their opulent Beverly Hills home, which is noteworthy for having a $68 million price tag on it.
Speaking to Us Weekly, a source said of the actor’s recent acquisition—which happened on Jennifer Lopez’s 55th birthday—that «Ben needed new energy in his life.»
«This one suits him better.» The insider went on, «He’s got a better mindset and is pushing forward.»
Ben feels that this year has been particularly taxing. Though he understands the marriage is over and wants to put his attention on himself at the moment, he will always have affection for Jen.
The tabloid was also informed by an additional reliable source close to Ben that the star’s choice to buy the Pacific Palisades home ‘marked the closure of the relationship.’
Page Six was informed earlier this month by a different insider that Jennifer is «angry» and that Ben «has humiliated her.» It was he who suggested that they reconcile.
She made a huge issue out of the fact that he was her true love, which has embarrassed her. Two years ago, they were just married twice. They’re not little children; this is sort of a record.
Page Six was informed by the insider that Lopez is also upset about their kids being embroiled in the divorce.
There are five children participating in this. She was aware that their families would mix. She still doesn’t quite believe it’s over.
But according to the source, Ben is holding off on filing for divorce because he wants to be «protective» of Jennifer.
Amid rumors of a breakup, TMZ revealed that the couple is no longer conversing, which is making it harder to come to a divorce settlement.
Additionally, Page Six reported earlier this week that Lopez’s close friends, including her longtime manager Benny Medina, «cannot stand» Affleck.
«They are incompatible with one another.» There is still animosity between Affleck and Medina, and they don’t get along, a source of the magazine reported.
«Nobody likes Ben Affleck except [Lopez’s] mother,» said a another insider. He’s a class A b*tch.
Because Ben and Jennifer are working on the upcoming movie Unstoppable, further issues might occur. Lopez took on a part in the production, which Affleck and Matt Damon are producing.
«Unstoppable is a tricky one because Ben and Matt are so invested in its success, even though everything you see indicates that Ben and Jennifer are ending their marriage,» a source previously told In Touch.
«If Ben and Jennifer are truly done, it puts these guys in a difficult situation, but for the time being, they both want the movie to succeed and exist independently of Ben’s crazy relationship drama.»
«No matter how awkward it will be, Ben will not say no to Jennifer’s request to be there for Unstoppable,» the insider continued. Jennifer and her group are aware of that!
In addition to Jennifer, Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, and Don Cheadle were all cast in the film.
Based on the story of wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born without a limb and competed for Arizona State University before winning a national championship in 2011, the plot, according to IMDB, is described as follows.
The wrestling biopic will have its world premiere in September at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival. Later in December, it will have a limited cinema run.
The most recent instance of Jennifer cutting a relaxed figure came on Friday when she went to lunch in Beverly Hills with Emme, one of her kids.
Along with a cropped white shirt and chic denim pants, she was also spotted wearing her wedding band.
Affleck looked to be in a good mood the day before, on Thursday, when he strolled through a LA parking structure with a broad smile on his face.
He was dressed in a traditional black suit with brown shoes and a blue button-up shirt underneath.
During the excursion, Ben drank iced coffee and held a sizable black duffle bag with ease.
