Jennifer Lopez was spotted shopping with her 16-year-old child Emme in Beverly Hills as she prepares for her first Christmas apart from her estranged husband, Ben Affleck. The dynamic duo enjoyed a day of retail therapy, visiting Ralph Lauren and Uniquities Consignment House antique store on a recent Saturday. Lopez showcased her stylish flair in a long cream coat over a white top and denim, accessorized with chic sunglasses and a crocodile Birkin handbag.
Emme, for her part, embraced a casual look with a short-sleeve button-up, pants, and sneakers. The pair was accompanied by a security guard as they strolled through the shops before taking a break for a bite at Cantina Frida. At 55, Lopez is currently navigating the process of finalizing her divorce from Affleck, 52, after their marriage ended this past August.
Having tied the knot on July 17, 2022 after rekindling their relationship a year prior, Lopez and Affleck first crossed paths on the set of their 2002 film “Gigli.” Their initial engagement lasted only until January 2004. Despite their separation, sources indicate that both stars intend to maintain a positive connection, especially for the sake of their children.
Lopez and Affleck are reportedly committed to co-parenting effectively and have shown a united front at school events, as their teens both attend the same high school. Recently, they were seen together with their kids for brunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Lopez shares her 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck has three children—Violet, 19, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
