Jennifer Lopez looks unbothered as she steps out after Ben Affleck's ex Jennifer Garner paid tribute to him
Jennifer Lopez stepped out in Los Angeles on Monday, one day after ex-husband Ben Affleck received a special tribute from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
The 55-year-old entertainer wore a figure-hugging dark gray spandex outfit, accenting it with a striped gray and white button-up shirt, which she tied at the chest.
Her straight, honey-hued locks were loose and in a center part as she headed to a studio wearing lightly tinted aviator sunglasses.
Garner, 53, who shares three kids with Affleck, 52 — Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13 — used Instagram to wish him a happy Father's Day on Sunday.
Lopez and Affleck finalized their divorce in January and the last thing binding them is the Los Angeles mansion they've been trying to sell for nearly one year.

Taking to Instagram Stories over the weekend, Garner posted a never-before-seen photo of one of their newborn children sleeping on Affleck's chest.
She lovingly wrote under the image, 'Happy Father's Day to 3 people's favorite landing spot.
Jennifer and Ben were married from 2005 to 2018 and maintain an amicable co-parenting relationship.
Meanwhile, Lopez shares 17-year-old fraternal twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony, to whom she was wed from 2004-2014.
Exes Jennifer and Ben briefly blended their families, with all of their children developing a bond during their short-lived marriage.
Ben and Jennifer were married in July 2023, nearly two decades after calling off their first engagement. The actress filed for divorce two years later and they settled in January 2025.
Post-split, the divorcees have been spotted meeting up with their kids on several occasions.
In December, a source told Us Weekly that the former flames 'know they will be in each other's lives because of the kids and are remaining friendly.'
Affleck confirmed it as he gushed about their children while attending The Accountant 2 premiere earlier this year.
'For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them,' he told Entertainment Tonight.
The A-list filmmaker continued, 'I love her kids. They're wonderful. She's [an] enormously important, tremendous person with a lot of integrity, who I adore and am grateful to.'
He emphasized, 'I'm thrilled that the kids are here with me. The relationships that you can have with children like that, it's the joy of my life. And those kids are amazing, and I'm glad that this is a movie they want to come to.'
JLo and Ben purchased their marital home in cash for $60.8 million in May 2023, nearly one year into their union.
But after putting it up for sale for $68 million in July 2024 after making renovations, they've struggled to get the property off their hands.
They've subsequently lowered the price by $8 million, but there are still no takers.
Now, Boston-bred filmmaker has made clear that he is willing to make an even bigger price cut if it means being free of the last thing connecting him to Lopez.
'Ben and JLo slashed the price on their Beverly Hills mansion for $8 million less than they paid for it, but this is nothing to Ben,' an insider exclusively told the Daily Mail.
'He really just wants this to be sold so that he can cut the final cord that keeps him and Jennifer intertwined,' it was added.
The source revealed that the abode 'caused drama' in their marriage because the Argo director 'never wanted to shell out that much for this home to begin with.'
'[Ben] knows [Jennifer] will always have a presence in his life with their kids remaining best friends, but this house is the one last thing that is a symbol of their marriage,' the person close to the couple continued.

Geri's in pole position as she leads glamorous squad of F1 stars - including Lewis Hamilton and Lando Norris - and their WAGS for the premiere of Brad Pitt's new racing movie
Geri and Christian Horner led the glamorous squad of F1 stars and their WAGS at the NYC premiere of Brad Pitt 's new racing movie on Monday. Of course they weren't the only big names on the red carpet, which was a who's who of both Hollywood and F1 stars. Real-life Formula One stars in attendance included Lewis Hamilton, who produces the film, as was Lando Norris and Yuki Tsunoda. The film stars Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver who has come out of retirement to compete alongside a rookie (Damson) and against the sport's biggest titans. For the occasion, Geri, 52, looked elegant in a white midi dress, with a cut-out chest detail and belt that cinched in her waist. She boosted her height in matching platform heels and accessorised with silver drop earrings. Real-life Formula One stars in attendance included Lewis Hamilton, who produces the film, as was Lando Norris and Yuki Tsunoda Meanwhile Christian, 51, cut a dapper figure in a navy suit, teamed with a crisp white shirt and black dress shoes. Elsewhere, Brad's age-gap girlfriend Ines de Ramon donned an extremely risque bridal-inspired look as she supported the star at the premiere. The Oscar winner, 61, looked smitten as he held hands with Ramon, 32, who flashed her cleavage and midriff in a busty sheer white top paired with a thick black belt. The racy ensemble also flashed her legs courtesy of a feathered sheer white skirt as she held hands with her long-term partner. Pitt ditched his midlife crisis makeover look for the evening, wearing a slick navy tailored suit. The bridal look comes after Pitt recently settled his painful eight year divorce battle with ex wife Angelina Jolie. Sunglasses in hand, Brad put on a charming display as he posed up a storm with his lady love by his side. Pitt has been keeping busy as he prepares for the release of his upcoming sports drama film F1 which will hit theaters later this month on June 27. Lewis later posed for a snap with Brad The actor is on a press tour to promote F1 - which also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem and Tobias Menzies, while the film itself was directed by Joseph Kosinski. But in addition to his newest film, his personal life has also made headlines. Earlier this week on Monday, Brad made a shock family remark amid the estrangement from his children that he shares with ex-wife Angelina Jolie. Their divorce proceedings began in 2016 and following a lengthy battle, it was finalized late last year in November. He shares Zahara, 20, Maddox, 23, and Pax, 21 - whom he adopted with Jolie. The former couple also welcomed biological children Shiloh, 19, as well as twins Vivienne and Knox, 16. While attending the premiere of F1 in Mexico City, Brad briefly opened up on the importance of family during an interview with Entertainment Tonight . 'No matter the mistake, you just learn from [it] and move on. It'll lead to the next success,' he stated. 'When you get to my age, you realize how important it is to surround yourself with the people you love, the people that love you back.' Brad's age-gap girlfriend Ines de Ramon donned an extremely risque bridal-inspired look as she supported the star at the NYC premiere of his film F1 on Monday. The couple couldn't have looked any happier The actor continued, 'Friends, family, and that's it. From there, we get to go make things. It's a pretty simple, I think, equation.' It was also recently revealed that the Meet Joe Black actor believes his relationship with two of his children is 'unfixable.' Last year on her 18th birthday, their daughter Shiloh notably filed a petition to drop Pitt from her last name. At the time, a source told 'He knew this was coming and there is nothing he can do about it right now. It's sad but Brad's strained relationship with his kids and Angelina is just a way of life for him now.' However, the insider further explained that the actor has always left the door open if his estranged children wanted to reconnect. At the time, the insider added that the Hollywood star feels that some time after finalizing his divorce from Jolie that his biological kids 'will take a good look in the mirror and realize that their father is a part of them.' Pitt also recently broke his silence on his and Jolie's divorce for GQ's June 2025 issue amid promoting his new movie F1. 'No, I don't think it was that major of a thing,' the star told the publication. 'Just something coming to fruition. Legally.' The Fight Club star then reflected on how his love life has been in the spotlight for decades. 'It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way.' Brad was also questioned if his red carpet debut with the jewelry designer last year at the 2024 British Grand Prix was a publicity stunt. 'No, dude, it's not that calculated,' Pitt replied. 'If you're living, oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you're living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.' The actor also reflected on fame by explaining, 'It's been an annoyance I've had to always deal with in different degrees, large and small, as I do the things I really want to do. 'So, it's always been this kind of nagging time suck or waste of time, if you let it be that, I don't know. I don't know. Mostly I feel pretty…. My life is fairly contained.' He continued, 'It feels pretty warm and secure with my friends, with my loves, with my fam, with my knowledge of who I am, that, you know, it's like this fly buzzing around a little bit.' Back in March, a source told People that Pitt is in a 'great place' with Ines de Ramon and added he is 'happy that the divorce is behind him.'

EXCLUSIVE Why you should NEVER criticise your ex in front of your children: Expert reveals why stars like Fern Britton and Kim Kardashian are right to be 'kind' about their former husbands
An expert has revealed why separated parents should never disparage one another in front of their children, after Fern Britton revealed she won't speak ill about her ex-husband Phil Vickery in front of their daughter. Many people will vent about an ex following a break-up, but doing so in front of your children can be a bad idea, according to Kate Daly, co-founder of leading online divorce services company amicable. Last week, Fern, 67, said she tries 'very hard' not to speak ill of her celebrity chef ex in front of her daughter Winnie, 23, who 'adores' her father And she's not the only star who has bitten their tongue despite a contentious co-parent relationship. Kim Kardashian previously said that she 'protects' Kanye West in front of their four children North, 12, Saint, nine, Chicago, seven and Psalm, six. 'My kids don't know anything that goes on in the outside world. I will protect that to the end of the earth,' she told the Angie Martinez IRL podcast. 'If we're riding to school and they want to listen to their dad's music, no matter what's going on I have to put a smile on face and act like nothing is going on'. Meanwhile, Katherine Ryan has said she won't speak ill of her ex Alex Elderman, who she shares 16-year-old daughter Violet with. Now Kate has told Femail that children are 'incredible perceptive' and 'take emotional cues from their parents'. She added that this aspect of co-parenting is often overlooked, but can leave a huge impact on children. 'Children are incredibly perceptive, and they take emotional cues from their parents,' she says. 'Speaking negatively about an ex in front of children can make them feel conflicted, for example that they are required to respond to the critique of the other parent and either agree with your criticism or defend their other parent. 'This is extremely anxiety-provoking for a child and leaves them feeling caught in the middle. 'It's important to remember that a child is made up of both parents – hearing one parent criticised can feel like a criticism of themselves.' Fiona Yassin, international family psychotherapist and founder of The Wave Clinic, added that while parents might think they are sharing information that will make their child feel safer with them, but this isn't true. She warns against parents using their children as confidants during difficult periods, as it can affect their relationships with other people in the future. 'If a child hears that their mum or dad has, for example, lied or had an affair, it does not just distil the child's trust in that parent, it also distils their trust in the world,' she explains. 'So if a parent confides in their child, they're not just disturbing their child's vision of that relationship, they're also disturbing their child's ability to trust the people they should be able to - in this instance, that's family. For some children, this may result in complex post-traumatic stress disorder (complex PTSD). 'Many parents believe that the more information they share with their child - in the hope of turning the child's emotions against the other parent - the safer that child will feel with them. 'This is, however, a complete misnomer. Children deserve emotional safety and if either parent is asking a child to take sides or continually running down the other parent, there is no emotional safety. ' Research shows that parental conflict, rather than the divorce or separation itself that puts children at higher risk of mental health and wellbeing problems, as well as negative relationships with peers. Kate says: 'Those children exposed to parental conflict are more likely to suffer emotional and behavioural difficulties or not to do so well in school. 'When parents bad-mouth each other, it can lead to confusion, loyalty conflicts, and stress for the child. In the long-term, this can affect their self-esteem, relationships (friendships and their romantic relationships in later life), and overall mental wellbeing.' Speaking badly of your ex can also damage your child's relationship with their other parent - or even with you. 'We see examples that carry on even into later where adult children may actively 'hide' their relationship with one parent from the other,' Kate adds. Even if you and your ex-spouse think you are doing a good job of hiding your conflict from your children, Fiona says it's 'important to understand that children pick up most of their clues about what's going on from a non-verbal basis'. This means your body language matters too. 'Whilst it's important to avoid arguing in front of the children, know that your non-verbal cues and the environment they're in will have an impact on your child,' Fiona explains. Kate advises keeping the focus on your child's wellbeing and to try and speak respectfully about one another if you can - or at the very least, speak neutrally, even if things are difficult. 'Avoid placing blame or sharing adult issues with your child – you wouldn't discuss intermarital issues with your child if you and your partner were together – so don't if you separate. 'If your child has questions, answer them honestly but age-appropriately but remember the boundaries. Think of it this way: every interaction is an opportunity to model emotional intelligence, kindness, and resilience.' Fiona also suggests being united with your ex on the topic of co-parenting. 'To move forward does not mean that you need to forgive, nor does it mean you need to forget. 'But it does mean that you need to put your parenting responsibilities above your relationship responsibilities. The divorce will dissolve the marriage, but it will not dissolve the biological basis of parenting.' If you feel stressed and upset with your ex, Fiona recommends using a journal to work through your thoughts and feelings about how you'd like to share and divide responsibilities with your children. 'Writing your thoughts down can help to clarify your thinking. Step away from your notes for a day or so and then come back to them when you're in a clearer headspace and are better able to make good decisions.'

NFL WAG Kelly Stafford claims weed gummies make her a 'better parent' to four young children
She has her hands full raising four young children. Now Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, has candidly revealed the indulgence that helps her become a 'better parent' - weed gummies. Stafford, 36, confessed the candies help take the edge off after particularly long days and 'calm' her down. However she does wrestle with guilt over consuming the products. 'Gummies are great,' Kelly - who has twins Sawyer and Chandler, eight, plus Hunter, six, and Tyler, four, with her Super Bowl winning husband - said on latest episode of her podcast, The Morning After. 'Honestly... sometimes I feel like gummies make me a better parent,' she said, adding they 'calm' her down. 'It's like the glass of wine.' The conversation came about Kelly enjoyed a gummy from Buddies Cannabis, which she praised as her 'favorite.' 'I called it... the glass of patience, by the time you get to bed and bath, you just, it makes you a better parent,' guest Kit Hoover explained. 'Thank you. Thank you for saying that,' Kelly said. 'Cause I feel a little guilty saying it and it's not like I do it every night. 'But sometimes I'm like, "s***, it has been a long day,"' Kelly said. 'I don't want to rip my hair out or their hair out, so I'm going to just top it off with a little gummy,' she explained. Kit attempted to assuage her worry, insisting Stafford deserved the break. And Matthew, who Kelly says is no stranger to her moods, also has no qualms with her ending the day with the gummy. 'I mean, this is what Matthew always tell me... as long as they're in bed, fed and happy and feel loved, who cares how they get there,' she said of her husband. 'Get 'em there, and some days might be harder than others. 'And he's fine with it. Cause he also knows when I get on one, it could be rough for everybody, including him,' she said. Kelly has twins Sawyer and Chandler, eight, plus Hunter, six, and Tyler, four, with her Super Bowl winning husband The laughter she has shared with her children during these times also seems to help her overcome the guilt. 'I do feel a little guilt when I do that. But then like we laugh... oh my gosh my kids and I laugh, and I feel like they're like, "Mommy's nice tonight."' 'That means you're doing it right,' Kit assured her. 'If they're upset with you or say you're mean or you're whatever, that means you're doing it right.' Kelly said that while her moods alternate, there's a 'balance' to them: 'Some nights I'm really mean, some nights I'm really nice and I feel like that's good balance.'
