Jennifer Lopez turned heads in New York City on Monday, showcasing her enviable abs in a chic outfit reminiscent of her iconic “Jenny from the Block” days. The 54-year-old singer and actress, who has been the subject of recent divorce rumors with husband Ben Affleck, was spotted enjoying a solo outing in the bustling city.
Lopez’s ensemble was both stylish and casual, featuring a white cropped top emblazoned with the words “JLO Be My Mama” in bold black lettering. She paired the top with low-waisted, baggy denim jeans and comfortable white sneakers, completing the look with a fuzzy pink sweater that added a splash of color. Her hair was parted to the side and styled in a simple updo, with loose strands framing her face. Large hoop earrings and fashionable black sunglasses added a touch of glamour to her outfit.
As she strolled along the sidewalk, Lopez carried a small purse in her left hand, offering a glimpse of her wedding ring. She appeared to have stepped out of a sleek black SUV before heading to her destination in the Big Apple.
The outing comes amid reports that Lopez and Affleck’s marriage has been “over for months.” According to a source who spoke to Page Six, the couple has been living separately since March. Affleck is reportedly staying at a $100,000-a-month rental in Brentwood, while Lopez resides in their $60 million mansion in Beverly Hills. Despite the separation, Affleck is said to be “very protective of Jennifer.”
In June, the couple’s lavish home was listed on the market for $65 million, and recent reports suggest they have begun selling off artwork from the mansion. Over the weekend, Affleck was seen visiting his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s home, which is located near his Brentwood rental. Affleck and Garner, who were married from 2005 until their divorce in 2018, share three children: Violet, 18, Finn, 15, and Samuel, 12.
Insiders have revealed that Garner has been acting as a “marriage counselor” for Affleck and Lopez but is now ready to step away from the situation. “Jen eventually got to a place where she was like, ‘Sorry, figure this out yourself,'” a source told DailyMail.com. “It was beginning to become too painful for her because it was bringing back so many memories of their divorce.”
Despite the ongoing rumors, Lopez and Affleck appear to maintain a professional relationship. Lopez is set to star in two upcoming movies produced by Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company, including “Unstoppable” and “Kiss of the Spider Woman.”
A source close to Lopez told DailyMail.com that the singer is “over” trying to make her marriage work. “Jenny has had enough and she really tried, but she can do no more. It’s not getting any better; it’s worse,” the source said. The insider added that Lopez left Affleck because he was often “grumpy and negative,” comparing him to Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street.
Lopez, who recently returned from a solo trip to Italy, has been focusing on her well-being and spending time with her twins, Max and Emme. She also made an appearance at Paris Fashion Week and was seen grabbing lunch with Emme in Beverly Hills.
Lopez has cleared her schedule this summer to give herself some downtime and re-examine her life. She has also struck a new deal with Netflix through her company Nuyorican to adapt the novel “Happy Place” by Emily Henry.
If there’s one thing Jennifer Lopez has shown us, it’s that she can effortlessly blend style and comfort. On Thursday, she was photographed in Los Angeles with her team and her twins, Max and Emme. The superstar sported a classic black sweatsuit with a super cropped top and low-rise sweatpants, revealing her toned abs. She completed the look with short Ugg boots and large brown shades, adding a matte cream Niloticus Crocodile Birkin for a touch of luxury.
Lopez has a knack for elevating her athleisure looks with her Hermès treasures. Over the holidays last year, she was seen leaving a class at Los Angeles’s Tracy Anderson Studio in a knotted white tee, sparkly black leggings, chunky white sneakers, big black square sunglasses, and a small black crocodile Birkin with gold hardware.
The “Can’t Get Enough” singer also showed off a rare Birkin last summer while heading to a gym in the Hamptons. She wore a beige sweatshirt, sky-blue tie-dye leggings, and white sneakers, carrying a white and gray Hermès Himalaya Niloticus Birkin.
Lopez’s ability to mix high fashion with casual wear continues to inspire fans and fashion enthusiasts alike. Whether she’s on a solo outing in New York City or spending time with her family in Los Angeles, Jennifer Lopez proves that she can make any look her own.
