Jennifer Lopez Is on the Move as Divorce Rumors Continue

After spending part of her summer in the Hamptons, Jennifer Lopez has arrived back in New York City, according to Page Six. JLo was spotted in Manhattan on Thursday, July 25, 2024.

The outlet reported that Lopez dined at celeb hotspot Balthazar before walking around SoHo. She was dressed casually in a pair of high-waisted, loose-fitting jeans, a white crop top, and a white blazer.

The “Waiting for Tonight” singer wore her hair in a bun and accessorized her look with a black handbag and a pair of sunglasses. She also was wearing her wedding ring, despite reports that her marriage to Ben Affleck is over. As for the actor, Page Six reported that he’s still back in Los Angeles. Earlier reports indicated that the “Argo” actor has been focused on work.

Lopez and Affleck tied the knot in July 2022 after rekindling their romance a year prior. The two first dated in the early 2000s, got engaged, but split before walking down the aisle.
