Jennifer Lopez put on a chic display as she joined her twins, Max and Emme, for a relaxing lunch in Beverly Hills on Saturday – amid ongoing divorce rumors with Ben Affleck.
The Atlas star, 55 – whose close friends ‘can’t stand’ the Good Will Hunting actor amid pair’s marital woes – grabbed a bite to eat as she spent quality time with her children.
Lopez has reportedly been ‘left furious and humiliated’ over the split drama, while a source also revealed that Affleck, 51, ‘hasn’t had the easiest summer.’
Jennifer was effortlessly stylish during the weekend excursion in a pair of loose-fitting, denim jeans as well as dark gray blazer.
She slipped into open-toed, strappy heels and easily swept her locks into a sleek bun, allowing her bangs to gently fall onto her forehead.

Amid Lopez and Affleck’s marriage woes, it was recently revealed by a source to People that Ben has been dealing with a difficult summer.
‘It hasn’t been the easiest summer for him either. He’s just trying to stay focused and make every day as good as possible,’ the insider told the outlet.
‘Ben’s doing well. He thrives when he’s busy and he’s been working nonstop. The kids are still off from school. He spends a lot of time with them, too.’

Amid Lopez and Affleck’s marriage woes, it was recently revealed by a source to People that Ben has been dealing with a difficult summer
He shares three children: Violet, 18, Fin, 15 (formerly known as Seraphina), and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
The Oscar winner purchased a $20.5 million home in the Pacific Palisades last month in July – after residing in a $100k-a-month rental in Brentwood.
Lopez has been staying at their lavish mansion in Beverly Hills – which has notably been listed on the market for $68 million.
In regards to the actor’s new purchase – which took place on Jennifer Lopez’s 55th birthday – a source told Us Weekly that, ‘Ben needed new energy in his life.’
‘This one is more his speed. He’s in a better mindset and is pushing forward,’ the insider continued.
‘Ben feels like he’s been weighed down this year. He will always care for Jen, but he knows the marriage is done, and he wants to focus on himself right now.’
Another source close to Ben also told the publication that the star’s decision to purchase the Pacific Palisades abode ‘was the closure of the relationship.’
Earlier this month, a separate insider told Page Six that Jennifer is ‘furious,’ adding that Ben ‘has humiliated her. He was the one who initiated getting back together.’

‘He’s humiliated her because she made a big deal that he’s the love of her life. They just had two weddings two years ago. This is some kind of a record, they’re not young kids.’
The insider explained to Page Six that Lopez is also angry due to their children being involved in the split.
‘There are five kids involved in this. She knew they were going to blend families. She has not fully accepted it is over.’
However, the source said that Ben is waiting to officially file for divorce due to being ‘protective’ of Jennifer.
Amid the split speculation, TMZ reported that the pair are also no longer speaking – causing difficulties to reach a divorce agreement.
And earlier this week, Page Six revealed that close friends of Lopez ‘can’t stand’ Affleck, including her longtime manager, Benny Medina.
‘The two of them can’t stand each other. They don’t get along and there’s still bad blood,’ a source told the outlet of Affleck and Medina.
A separate insider also stated that, ‘No one, except [Lopez’s] mother, likes Ben Affleck. He’s a triple-A a**hole.’

Further complications could arise due to Jennifer and Ben working on the upcoming film, Unstoppable. While Affleck is producing the project alongside Matt Damon, Lopez took on a role.
A source recently told In Touch, ‘Unstoppable is a tricky one because Ben and Matt are so invested in its success, even if everything you see indicates that Ben and Jennifer are ending their marriage.’
‘It puts these guys in a tricky position if Ben and Jennifer are really done, but for now, they both want the movie to hit and exist apart from Ben’s crazy relationship drama.’
The insider added, ‘If Jennifer wants and asks Ben to be there for Unstoppable, he’s not going to say no, no matter how awkward it will be. Jennifer and her team know that!’
Along with Jennifer, other stars that were cast in the movie include Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña and Don Cheadle.
The premise, ‘Centers around the life of wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and won a national championship in 2011 while competing at Arizona State University,’ per IMDB.
The wrestling biopic is set to premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival next month in September, followed by a limited theatrical release later in December.
The insider explained to Page Six that Lopez is also angry due to their children being involved in the split; seen in January in Beverly Hills
Most recently, Jennifer was seen cutting a casual figure as she enjoyed a lunch date with one of her children, Emme, in Beverly Hills on Friday.
She was also seen donning her wedding band while sporting a white, cropped shirt as well as a pair of stylish, denim jeans.
One day earlier on Thursday, Affleck appeared to be in high spirits as he held a big smile on his face while strolling through a parking structure in Los Angeles.
He wore a classic, black suit which was paired with a blue button up underneath, as well as brown shoes.
Ben easily carried a large, black duffle bag in his hand while also sipping on iced coffee during the outing.
