Jennifer Lopez goes shopping with child Emme, 16, ahead of first Christmas without Ben Affleck amid divorce
Jennifer Jopez spent quality time with her 16-year-old child Emme as she geared up to celebrate Christmas apart from her estranged husband, Ben Affleck.
The “On the Floor” songstress and the teenager stepped out for retail therapy at Ralph Lauren and the Uniquities Consignment House antique store in Beverly Hills, Calif., on Saturday.
Lopez looked chic in a long cream coat, a white top and jeans for the outing, accessorizing with sunglasses and a crocodile Birkin handbag.
Emme wore a short-sleeve button-up, pants and sneakers for the outing.
The duo was accompanied by the pop star’s security guard and others, as they shopped around and stopped for a bite at Cantina Frida.
Lopez, 55, is currently working to finalize her divorce from Affleck. 52, after she pulled the plug on their marriage this past August.
The singer and the “Gone Girl” star got married on July 17, 2022, after rekindling their romance a year before.
The exes were first romantically linked in 2002 when they met on the set of their film, “Gigli.” They got engaged that same year but broke it off in January 2004.
Despite Lopez and Affleck separating, sources told Page Six they plan to stay connected.
“They have every intention of continuing to be in each other’s lives despite not being romantically involved,” we’re told.
“Ben and Jennifer are still connected and they do communicate when it involves their kids.”
We’re also told the estranged couple “have a mutual respect for one another.”
Earlier this month, the “Let’s Get Loud” singer and the actor put on a united front to support their kids at school functions since their teens attend the same high school.
In September, Lopez and Affleck also got together with their children for brunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
The “Selena” star shares twins Emme and Max, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares Violet, 19, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
