Jennifer Lopez was spotted with her wedding rings from Ben Affleck still on, even though she hasn’t been photographed with her husband since June 3.
And, interestingly, her charm bracelet had a B on it, in honor of Ben.
By her side was her faithful talent manager Benny Medina, as well as her vocal coach Stevie Mackey for a Friday afternoon outing in Bridgehampton, New York.
The This Is Me… Now singer, 54, showed off her nude bra while her white shirt wasn’t buttoned enough.
The Atlas actress, who turns 55 on July 24, added pants, flip-flops, a hat, earrings and a small Dior bag.
Meanwhile, Affleck has been out and about in Los Angeles with his three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, Fin and Samuel. He was also seen heading to lunch on Friday.
Rumors continue to circulate that the two are on the verge of divorce, but neither has made any statement yet.
Jennifer Lopez was spotted with her wedding rings from Ben Affleck still on, even though she hasn’t been photographed with her husband in over a month. By her side were her manager Benny Medina and vocal coach Stevie Mackey on a Friday outing in Bridgehampton, New York.
Jennifer looked beautifully made up with a plum-colored lipstick as she led the way through the streets of Bridgehampton.
Her clothes flowed freely, hiding her slim and toned figure. She kept her head down and was not seen smiling as she put on a pair of blue sunglasses.
The Bronx diva was shopping with her friends on the busy street lined with small boutiques like luxury designer clothing store Blue One.
There are also several restaurants such as Almond, Jean-Georges at Topping Rose House and Bobby Van’s Steakhouse.
Benny and Stevie, both sporting aggressively groomed beards and designer clothes, have been his constant companions in recent months.
She’s been in the Hamptons for several days and has been seen shopping for plants and also taking fun photos by a fence with her male friends.
Lopez is a frequent visitor to the Hamptons because she owns a sprawling property in Water Mill that she purchased for $10 million more than a decade ago.
She has spent time there with her twins Max and Emme, as well as several of her exes, including Marc Anthony, Alex Rodriguez, and also her now-estranged husband Affleck.
This sighting comes after Jennifer and Ben put their Bel-Air, California mansion on the market for $65 million, which is more than $4 million more than what they paid for it.
The 54-year-old “This Is Me… Now” singer showed off her nude-colored bra, as her white shirt wasn’t buttoned high enough. The Atlas actress, who turns 55 on July 24, added pants, flip-flops, a hat, hoop earrings and a small Dior clutch.
Meanwhile, Affleck has been out and about in Los Angeles with the three children he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: they are Violet, Fin and Samuel. Spotted on June 13 in LA
Ben has already moved into a $100,000-a-month rental apartment closer to Garner’s home.
There have also been reports that Ben has packed up his last remaining possessions and that Jennifer is selling some of her artwork.
Weeks ago, a source told DailyMail.com that Lopez was “done” trying to make her marriage to Affleck work.
An industry source said the pop star has reached the end of her rope and feels she can do “no more” to save the relationship.
“Jenny has had enough and she’s really tried but she can’t do any more, she’s not getting any better, she’s getting worse,” a music industry source told DailyMail.com.
The source added that the main reason J.Lo, 54, left her 51-year-old husband was because he was always “grumpy and negative” like Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street.
Jennifer is sad about the end of her nuptials, but “is trying to make the most of it by working out, spending time with her twins Max and Emme, and making new plans for 2025,” they continued.
One of those new plans is to resume her This Is Me… Live tour in the summer of 2025, when she turns 56. She canceled the 2024 tour that was scheduled to begin in July to “recover.”
“She’s excited to go on tour next year when her personal life is calmer and she can connect with her fans. She’ll bring her tribe with her and make the most of the opportunity,” the source said.

Lopez is also said to be “shocked” by the bad press she has been receiving, which she believes is not fair.
“If people could see what she’s really been through, they’d be more lenient with her,” the source said.
“Ben is a great guy, but he can be grumpy and depressing. I think the world saw him in pictures like when they were at the Grammys last year; he wasn’t smiling. If they saw what he was really like, they wouldn’t attack her,” Jennifer’s friend said.
“He chain smokes, swears and seems irritated most of the time. He’s a great director and actor, but you don’t laugh much with him, you know?” the source said. “But he’s a wonderful father.”
Lopez plans to move on.
“She’s not used to receiving this kind of negative feedback, but she’ll get over it and move on,” her friend said. “Jennifer is a very smart and strong woman and she’ll bounce back – she always does!”
These days he has been leaning on his closest friends.
One of them is stylist Shawn Barton, whose nickname is Beezy. Another is vocal coach Mackey.

She has Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
And Ben has Violet, Seraphina and Samuel with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
As for how Jennifer and Ben are getting along these days, the source said they are being “cordial” with each other.
So what happened to the once jovial Ben who used to smile at fans and make out with Jennifer in public?
The source points to pressure on Ben’s career.
“She’s filming Accounting 2 right now and the hours are really long, she’s working hard and it’s a lot to juggle with marriage and kids,” the source said. “So she’s not in the best mood at times.”
The stars with their son Samuel Garner Affleck attend a basketball game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors at Crypto.com Arena in March.
Meanwhile, Lopez cleared her schedule this summer to give herself some time off to reexamine her life.
“She’s living alone and not with Ben, I think everyone knows that by now, so it’s a big change for her and the kids,” the friend said.
“Of course Jenny is sad, she loves Ben, but they are too different, there is no mutual concession, there was no fusion, they are just on separate paths.”
The source added that Jennifer gave it her all: ‘She really tried hard to make it work, but it just didn’t work out.
“She put in a lot of time and energy, and I think he did the same. There’s no one to blame here. It just wasn’t planned. It’s very difficult for two big stars to maintain a marriage, one has to compromise, and in this case neither of them compromised.”
Instead of crying at home, however, Jennifer is making plans for a better life.
“She’s looking at scripts and thinking about 2025. After the success of Atlas, she’s getting a lot of calls for films, everyone wants to work with her. She loves being an A-lister in her fifties!”
