Jennifer Lopez flirts with a handsome entrepreneur while in a crop top... 7 months after Ben Affleck divorce
Jennifer Lopez got very flirty in a new video shared to Instagram on Wednesday. The Jenny From The Block singer was seen smashing birthday cake into the face of a handsome entrepreneur named Francois Reihani. Francois is founder of the Calabasas, California restaurant La La Land Kind Cafe and the cake was made for her 56th birthday, which falls on Thursday. Jenny looked fit and youthful in a very tiny cream-colored turtleneck top that made the most of her toned tummy. She added low-rise blue denim jeans and had her hair in a ponytail with hoop earrings as her accessory. Francois was making a presentation with JLo when she took a slice of cake and smashed it in his face, just as a new bride would do to her groom on their wedding day. It has been seven months since the Bronx native finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck, and she does not seem to have dated since. Francois did not have on a wedding ring, indicating he may still be on the market. Francois is the founder of La La Land Kind Cafe, the We Are One Project, and former founder of Bar Stellar and Pok The Raw Bar. Francois opened La La Land Kind Cafe in 2019, an organic cafe with a purpose of empowering foster youth aging out of the foster care system through employment and mentorship opportunities while on a mission to normalize kindness. 'We dream big, and hope we can make a statement to our nation that businesses can and should be doing more. Social enterprises should lead our future, to create a better world,' he said. Prior to opening La La Land Kind Cafe, Francois opened his first restaurant concept, Pōk the Raw Bar, in Dallas' vibrant West Village after transferring from the University of Southern California to Southern Methodist University. 'How sweet is this!!! @LaLaLandKindCafe has a JLo Birthday Cake Latte that they created just for my birthday. I had so much fun making it!' began the Kiss Of The Spider-Woman actress. 'Starting tomorrow, July 24, head to any La La Land café and enjoy a sweet birthday treat with love from me and La La Land @francois. While you're there, don't miss the chance to win VIP tickets to my UP ALL NIGHT Live In Las Vegas show,' wrote the star in her caption. The post was a promotion for a new beverage that was made for Lopez's birthday. La La Land Kind Café said they were 'thrilled' to launch the JLO Birthday Cake Latte, an exclusive drink created in celebration of JLO's birthday and the release of her highly anticipated single, Birthday, the venue told 'Starting Thursday, July 24, fans can sip on the JLO Birthday Cake Latte - a delicious, birthday cake-inspired drink and the first release on La La Land's new 'ALL STAR Drinks' menu. The drink will be available for a limited time at all 21 La La Land Kind Café locations and via the brand's app,' the brand said. To mark the occasion, La La Land rolled out a one-day-only Golden Ticket Giveaway on July 24. 'Every in-store JLO Birthday Cake Latte purchased will come with a custom sticker sleeve that has a scratch or peel to reveal whether you're an instant winner of an unforgettable JLO experience. 'La La Land and Lopez want to send fans to Vegas in style. A total of 26 grand prize winners - one per store and three via social media - will each receive: Two VIP tickets to Jennifer Lopez's Up All Night Las Vegas show and choice of concert dates: December 31, 2025, January 2, 2026, or January 3, 2026.' Giveaway includes VIP concert tickets only. Airfare and lodging are not included. Earlier this month Lopez said she was 'done' with marriage after splitting from fourth husband Ben Affleck last year. The Unstoppable actress was married to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd and Marc Anthony before tying the knot with Affleck in 2022, but they split in 2024 after less than two years of marriage and Jennifer has now suggested she won't be walking down the aisle ever again. Video footage taken during her concert in Bilbao, Spain and posted on X, showed Jennifer spotting an audience member holding up a sign which read: 'J. Lo, marry me?' and she said: 'I think I'm done with that. I've tried that a few times.' Jennifer was engaged to Hollywood actor Affleck in the early 2000s, but the relationship ended shortly before they were due to get married. They got back together in 2021 before tying the knot in two ceremonies in 2022 - one in Las Vegas and one in Georgia. 'How sweet is this!!! @LaLaLandKindCafe has a JLo Birthday Cake Latte that they created just for my birthday. I had so much fun making it! 'Starting tomorrow, July 24, head to any La La Land café and enjoy a sweet birthday treat with love from me and La La Land @francois' The divorce filing came exactly two years after the couple's extravagant second bash on August 20, 2022. The paperwork listed the official date of their separation as April 26, 2024. The singer later admitted it had been an 'intense year' and she was looking forward to taking time off and spending the holidays with her family. She told People magazine: 'It was a pretty intense year for me and I'm most looking forward to spending time with my kids and my family coming out from the East Coast. 'The holidays are such a special time for us and they've always been since I was a little girl. And I really look forward to those moments when I can be with my sisters and just relax and have fun and create new memories. 'We don't get to see each other all year, so we kind of catch up on what everybody's doing and how life is. It's just a beautiful time. I really enjoy it.' The former couple's divorce was finalized in January. Jennifer has since returned to the road after cancelled her previous tour to focus on family matters. The singer kicked off her Up All Night tour in Pontevedra, Spain on July 8. The shows will be performed across Europe before heading to the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Armenia, Turkey, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. The Jenny From The Block star will then return to the US later in the year to launch her Up All Night residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on December 30. The Las Vegas residency is due to run through until March 2026.

Welcome to Vini World! Real Madrid star transforms Rio de Janeiro town into his own THEME PARK to celebrate his 25th birthday after sunning on the beach with stunning bikini-clad women
Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr transformed a pocket of Rio de Janeiro into his own theme park to celebrate his 25th birthday. The two-day attraction, dubbed Parque Baila Vini World, was reportedly organised by the winger for his enjoyment and that of an exclusive list of friends and family. Madrid colleagues Eduardo Camavinga and Reinier Jesus were among a guestlist that also included American rapper Travis Scott. The Houston native even graced the theme park-goers with a show. According to Spanish outlet Marca, guests also enjoyed personalised items in keeping with the park's theme. Cups, neon lights with the Brazilian star's silhouette and T-shirts with the 'Baila Jr' slogan were the notable collector's items. It appears that no expense was spared for the event that had several attractions to enjoy. A pendulum ride, called 'Samba', and a grasshopper with rotating arms were available for guests to get their adrenaline kick. Vinicius Jr headed back to his native Brazil for some downtime after Madrid's bruising semi-final defeat by Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup. While back in his homeland, the forward unveiled his own wax statue, a life-size replica that is set to be transferred to Madame Tussauds in New York. The Brazilian's time away from the European spotlight comes as speculation grows that he could depart football on the continent altogether, with contract talks with the Spanish giants at a standstill. AS report that all negotiations were put on hold after the initial approach which was made back in February. The figure wanted was transmitted by his agent Frederico Pena and since then it is understood that there has been no further contact. The Brazilian's current contract, which sees him earn somewhere in the region £330,187-a-week. After a stellar 2023-24 campaign that saw him finish second in the Ballon d'Or standings, the Brazilian was forced to adapt last year as Real welcomed the arrival of Kylian Mbappe. Vinicius ultimately ended the season with 11 league goals from 24 starts as Carlo Ancelotti was unable to leverage his latest blockbuster arrival into yet more domestic glory. Madrid are said to be at a crossroads with regards to a new deal, unwilling to offer him more than the over £500,000-a-week that Mbappe makes. Back in February, the winger made a statement on the situation: 'I hope the talks will be resolved in the coming days. It's very exciting to be able to open talks with Real Madrid about my renewal. 'I have a contract until I'm 27, but I've always said I want to play here for a long time, to make history, and to receive the affection of the fans alongside the president and the coaching staff. 'God willing, the negotiations will be resolved in the coming days, and I'll be able to stay here for much longer.' Throughout his glittering spell in Madrid the 25-year-old has been consistently linked with becoming the latest high-profile star to join the Saudi Pro League. Vinicius is said to have met with officials from the league, namely vice president Saad Al Lazeez, in Prague in 2023 as they attempted to sell him on the move. Talks between the two parties have reportedly continued ever since, with the gulf state prepared to offer him a five-year deal worth £830million to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.
