Jennifer Lopez was seen in public for the first time since filing for divorce from Ben Affleck, her estranged husband, two weeks ago. The pop icon stepped out in Beverly Hills on Saturday, catching the eye in a stylish white halter crop top with a daring cutout across her chest, paired with flared jeans. She accessorized her look with a gold band on her left ring finger, a diamond ring on her pinky, chunky nude heels, pink-tinted sunglasses, and a classic Birkin bag.
Lopez, 55, filed for divorce on August 20, which coincided with the anniversary of their second wedding in Georgia. According to legal documents, their separation dates back to April, revealing that they had been apart for several weeks before the formal filing.
The sighting comes amid news that Lopez no longer feels ‘comfortable’ living in the Beverly Hills mansion she and Affleck once shared with their children. An insider told People, “She and Ben bought the house for the whole family. It’s way too big for her and filled with too many memories.”
The couple had purchased the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom estate for $60 million in May 2023 after an extensive house hunt. They have struggled to sell the property, which is currently listed at $68 million. Affleck recently bought a $20 million bachelor pad in Pacific Palisades.
Adding to the drama, Affleck has been rumored to be dating Kick Kennedy, daughter of RFK Jr., after they were spotted together on several outings in Los Angeles. This speculation has reportedly left Lopez ‘very upset and disappointed,’ according to sources close to her.
Despite the recent upheavals, Lopez was seen embracing a chic and confident look, marking her first public appearance since the divorce filing.
