Jennifer Lopez came under fire as photos showing her strolling around with Ben Affleck sparked suggestions that the actor was unhappy last summer. The singer, 55, made August 2024 headlines for filing for divorce after two years of marriage, although it was a different story back in July 2023.
Linking arms with the Batman actor, Jennifer put on a couple’s display and a leggy one, showing off her figure in a floral romper and heels as the two enjoyed some shopping in The Hamptons. When The Daily Mail shared photos of the couple, fans both slammed JLo for her outfit and critiqued the couple’s vibe. A popular reply even saw a user thinking that Ben looked “miserable.”
Jennifer Lopez Sparks Comments On Outing With Ben Affleck
Making it a family day, Jennifer brought along kids Max and Emme, shared with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Also joining the party were two of Ben’s children — Violet and Samuel, spotted in the photos, who are shared with Ben’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
Flaunting her gym-honed legs as she teetered around in wedge sandals, JLo wowed in a floral-print, short shorts romper. Going sleeveless, the “Jenny From The Block” hitmaker teamed her straw-like belt with cork accents on her pink shoes, sending out chic girly vibes as she wore hoop earrings and a shoulder purse. Sporting her locks scraped back, Jennifer highlighted her wrinkle-free skin, wearing a light layer of makeup with a sunkissed finish.
Comparing Ben to former Good Will Hunting costar Matt Damon, another wrote: “Matt Damon looks happy and relaxed with his wife and friends. Ben looks held hostage.” Agreeing, a third said: “Wow, Ben looks miserable.” Meanwhile, a separate user replied:
“They look so estranged from each other. But she wants all the attention from him, later for the children. She looks away when his daughter tries to her father’s attention.”
JLo married Ben in 2022 after rekindling her 2000s romance, one that ended in a failed engagement. Following months of speculation and with the former couple seemingly leading separate lives this summer, the pop star filed for divorce last month. By this time, Ben had already purchased a $20.5 million property, although the two have yet to sell their lavish $68 million mansion.
Lopez has still not publicly commented on the split. She recently made headlines for donning a “revenge dress” at the Toronto International Film Festival.
