She accessorized with a crocodile handbag and an array of jewelry, adding a touch of glamour to her summer look.

This sighting occurred just ten days after Lopez officially filed for divorce on August 20, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the cause for the separation from Affleck, 52, after two years of marriage. In her divorce filings, Lopez expressed a desire for neither party to receive spousal support.
Lopez’s reemergence in the public eye was marked not only by her fashionable outing but also by her activity on social media. On August 23, she returned to Instagram, sharing a festive selfie from a fan page that featured her with voluminous blonde hair and a blush two-piece outfit, set against the backdrop of a large Christmas tree.

The couple, who first became engaged in the early 2000s and famously split just days before their scheduled wedding, reignited their romance decades later. They married in a quick ceremony in Las Vegas on July 17, 2022, and celebrated with a grand wedding in Savannah, Georgia, the following month.

However, two years into their reunion, the marriage concluded with Lopez’s divorce filing on the anniversary of their elaborate Savannah ceremony, after a summer spent largely apart. Sources close to the couple shared that despite high hopes for their rekindled relationship, Lopez felt compelled to end the marriage after extensive efforts to make it work, highlighting her commitment to prioritizing their children’s well-being. Lopez is a mother to twins Max and Emme, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares three children—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
