Jennifer Lopez's First Public Appearance After Filing for Divorce from Ben Affleck

On Friday, Jennifer Lopez stepped out in Los Angeles for the first time since news of her divorce from Ben Affleck broke. Captured by TMZ, Lopez donned wide-legged jeans and a white cropped halter top with a cutout under the bust. She completed her look with beachy waves, sunglasses, and gold jewelry. This sighting marked her first public appearance since the couple's separation became public knowledge. This is prepared by SSP.

For the past few months, Lopez has maintained a low profile, mainly sharing selfies and promotional content for her Delola alcohol brand on Instagram. Notably, she hasn't publicly commented on the divorce filing. Rumors had circulated since May regarding issues between the former couple, particularly after Affleck moved out of their $60 million Los Angeles home. While Lopez spent most of the summer in New York, Affleck remained in California.

Sources have revealed the emotional toll the separation has taken on Lopez. According to People, "She and Ben bought the house for the whole family. It’s way too big for her and filled with too many memories as well." Another insider mentioned that despite attempts at therapy, the two realized they were incompatible due to differing lifestyles. "Jennifer loves luxury, mansions, jets, yachts, red carpets, and all things glamorous. Ben has never been keen on those things," one source noted.

Adding to the public interest, Lopez was still seen wearing her wedding ring during her recent appearance, signaling complex feelings despite the official filing. Lopez and Affleck’s history spans over two decades, beginning with their meeting in 2002 on the set of "Gigli." Their relationship, famously dubbed "Bennifer," quickly became a media sensation but ended abruptly just days before their planned wedding in 2004. Both moved on to other marriages and families but rekindled their romance in 2021, subsequently marrying in an impromptu Las Vegas ceremony in 2022, followed by a formal celebration in Georgia that August.

Ultimately, Lopez filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple listed their $68 million mansion, signaling the final chapter of their tumultuous relationship.
