Jennifer Lopez’s Close Bond with Stepson Samuel Revealed During Affleck Split

Jennifer Lopez recently made a casual yet chic appearance while out shopping with her stepson, Samuel. The 12-year-old son of her husband, Ben Affleck, accompanied Lopez to the high-end Neiman Marcus store in Beverly Hills on Monday. The superstar, known for her timeless style, appeared in excellent spirits as she enjoyed the outing with Samuel.

Lopez, 54, donned a stylish white romper paired with vibrant green high-top sneakers. Her signature sandy blonde hair flowed in loose waves, while oversized designer sunglasses and gold hoop earrings added a touch of glamour to her relaxed look. This rare public appearance with Samuel comes after Lopez was seen visiting Ben’s Los Angeles home, spending time with her estranged husband.

Amid months of split rumors, the couple hasn’t been publicly spotted together for some time. Nevertheless, Lopez’s bond with Samuel and his siblings remains strong, as demonstrated by this outing. Just a day before, Violet, Ben’s 18-year-old daughter, was seen making her own fashion statement. She wore the same Dolce & Gabbana dress Lopez had famously donned during a romantic Valentine’s Day date with Ben in 2023.

Violet’s chic chiffon dress featured a two-toned design with a V-shaped neckline, flowing sleeves, and contrasting pink pleats. She opted for a relaxed vibe, pairing the designer dress with unlaced sneakers and white gym socks, underscoring her youthful elegance.

Previously, Lopez had elevated the same dress with a Dolce & Gabbana belt and sparkling diamond stud earrings during her Beverly Hills dinner date with Ben. The difference in stylings between Violet and Lopez did not go unnoticed by fans, who admire the close relationship between the two.

Violet’s appearance in the dress also fueled ongoing speculation about Lopez and Ben’s marriage. Rumors suggest the couple has prepared divorce papers, according to DailyMail.com, although nothing has been filed yet. Despite the swirling rumors, Lopez was recently seen confidently wearing her wedding ring during an outing with her daughter Emme in Los Angeles, adding to the curiosity about her marriage’s status.

In her latest sighting with Samuel, Lopez exuded Hollywood glamour even in casual attire. She and Samuel left the store with several shopping bags, showcasing her nurturing side and dedication to maintaining strong family bonds amidst personal challenges.

Violet, Fin, and Samuel have been spending quality time with both of their famous parents. Ben and his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, have been co-parenting their children since their separation in 2015, after nearly a decade of marriage. The former couple officially filed for divorce in 2017 and have since moved on with new partners—Garner with businessman John Miller and Ben rekindling his romance with Lopez in April 2021.
