Jennifer’s latest outing with Ben on Friday comes just days after Homeland Security raided her ex Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami in a sex trafficking investigation.
It was also revealed that the rapper owes the bank nearly $100 million after taking out eight mortgages on his homes in Los Angeles and Miami that were raided.
After the raid, Diddy broke his silence and claimed he is the victim of a “witch hunt.”
His lawyer, Aaron Dyer, told DailyMail.com in a statement: “There is no excuse for the excessive display of force and hostility exhibited by the authorities or the way they treated their children and employees.”

“This unprecedented ambush, coupled with an advanced and coordinated media presence, leads to a premature rush to try Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on baseless accusations made in civil trials.”
‘No criminal or civil liability has been found with any of these accusations. Mr. Combs is innocent and he will continue to fight every day to clear his name,” Dyer added.
Jennifer and Diddy previously dated from 1999 until their separation in 2001.

But after J.Lo, who has since found happiness with Ben Affleck, detailed her past abusive relationships in her emotional 2024 documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, fans speculated she was referring to her ex Sean.
A source has denied to MailOnline that J.Lo was referring to Diddy and that it was a subsequent relationship.
Speaking to CBS Sunday Morning in 2019, the singer opened up about her highly publicized romance with Sean, calling it “a kind of crazy, intense time in her life.”

The two were charged with criminal possession of a weapon, although the charges against her were later dropped because it was determined that she was not involved.
Jennifer broke up with the rap mogul a month before his trial began in 2001. He was eventually acquitted of all charges.
