On Monday morning she was seen in a pale gray cut-up sweatshirt that revealed her black bra and tummy.
The mother to twins Max and Emme - whose dad is Marc Anthony - added hunter green leggings that matched her NY Yankees cap as she slipped on ombre beige aviator sunglasses and silver hoop earrings.
The selfie was taken in the entranceway of her New York City dwelling.
Meanwhile, her ex Ben Affleck has been in Los Angeles. They separated on April 26, 2024.
This is the date listed in court documents when Lopez filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences.
The couple had been married for two years, having initially rekindled their relationship after their previous split in 2004.
But Jennifer and ben appear to be on okay terms these days despite the end of their marriage.
Last month Affleck has praised his ex-wife Lopez for being 'spectacular' to his children.
The 52-year-old actor - who has three children, Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13, with his first wife Jennifer Garner - separated from second wife J.Lo in April 2024, after two years of marriage.

Lopez has 17-year-old twins Max and Emme - who she has with her ex-husband Marc Anthony - and her children and his own kids joined him at the Los Angeles premiere of his new action film The Accountant 2 on Wednesday night.
Speaking on the red carpet, Ben took a moment to praise J.Lo for maintaining a wonderful relationship with his kids, despite their split.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he said: 'For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them.
'I love her kids. They're wonderful. She's [an] enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to.
'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.'
Affleck also admitted that he avoids reading anything about what people think of his relationship with Lopez, because he doesn't want negativity in his life.
He said: 'I don't read the stuff online much, and sometimes I get the sense that people perpetuate this idea of … they want to find something negative to talk about.'
The Accountant 2 - which follows forensic accountant Christian Wolff who 'teams up with his estranged but highly lethal brother to track down mysterious assassins ' - is something the star is 'proud' of , and the night was even more special knowing that his and Jennifer's children were there to support him.
Ben - who told GQ magazine in March 2025 that there is 'no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue' surrounding his break-up from J.Lo - said: 'It's a great night. The kids are here, Jen's kids are here. I'm very, very excited.
'I'm proud of the movie, I love the movie, and I love when all the kids come out. It's really fun, it's exciting.'

JENNIFER LOPEZ AT THE MET OVER THE YEARS
By Heidi Parker
The Bronx native has been at the splashy Met Gala in New York City many times over her career. Here is a look back at her glamorous statements.
1999
The first time she went, the singer was on the arm of rapper and music producer P Diddy, also known as Puff Daddy and Sean Combs. The year was 1999 and she wore a pink dress with a matching fur jacket. He was dashing in a white turtleneck and button free coat. The theme was Rock Style.
2004
The diva was in a black lace tiered dress when she posed with Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce at the event. Her hair was up in a Swedish braid and she wore ruby red lipstick.
2006
It was a drastic change in 2006 as Jenny From The Block opted for a one-shoulder gown in a soft white color with a sheer mermaid finish and her hair down. She added long earrings and carried a clutch purse for a very polished look. The theme was Anglomania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion.
2007
There was a 1920s influence for this shimmery silver dress that was off the shoulder and had a dazzling belt as she added a hair clip that matched her earrings and clutch purse. The theme was Poiret: King of Fashion.
2008
In the year 2008 the Wedding Planner actress went with a more feminine look as she had on a dusty green one-strap gown with heavy embellishments on the neckline and several folds. Her hair was worn in soft waves and she had on an oversized cuff that matched her earrings.
2010
This year the Back-Up Plan star returned to Hollywood glamour with a sparkly strapless silver Cinderella style dress as she wore her hair up.
2011
The Parker star went for a ruby look with a halter dress and flowers on her shoulders with a matching pout as she had her hair pulled back dramatically. Her date was husband Marc Anthony.
2013
Her figure was the highlight of this look as the El Cantante actress wore a black and nude colored skintight dress with her hair up in a big quaff. The theme was Punk: Chaos To Couture. Her date was dancer Casper Smart.
2015
It was a Versace moment for the Boy Next Door star who had on mostly sheer dress with red sequins. Again, she went with only one strap. The theme was China: Through the Looking Glass.
2017
The diva harked back to the 1970s in a long blue gown with her hair worn down her chest and diamond earrings as an accent. She took with her Alex Rodriguez for the first time. The theme was Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art of the In-Between.
2018
The Shades Of Blue actress went for a structured dress this year with a large cross on the front in rhinestones and cut outs on her chest. The theme was Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and The Catholic Imagination. Her date Alex wore all black.
2019
Jennifer took a risk this year by wearing a headpiece made of crystals for the theme Camp: Notes on Fashion. Her dress was very low cut as was the slit up the side. Her date again was Alex who went with a pink blazer.
2021
For the 2021 Met Gala, Jennifer channeled the wild West. She wowed in this dazzling brown Ralph Lauren gown that was so low cut it ended at her belly, offering plenty of cleavage. The skirt portion was long and had a high slit up one leg.
Her date for the night was Ben Affleck who wore a black tuxedo with bow tie.
The Met Gala theme was In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.
2023
The look was inspired by the 1940s as Jennifer had on a fascinator with a black veil over her eyes adding statement earrings.
The former Fly Girl had on a pale pink silk and black velvet custom Ralph Lauren gown that looked retro and modern at the same time.
The theme was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty.

Dua Lipa confirms engagement to Callum Turner
Months after posting photos of what appeared to be an engagement ring, Dua Lipa confirmed her engagement to actor Callum Turner. 'Yeah, we're engaged,' Lipa said in an interview with British Vogue published on June 12. 'It's very exciting.' Lipa said Turner had the ring made after discussions with her sister and best friends. 'I'm obsessed with it,' Lipa said. 'It's so me. It's nice to know the person that you're going to spend the rest of your life with knows you very well.' At the end of 2024, Lipa posted photos on Instagram that sparked speculation from fans that the 'Don't Start Now' singer was engaged, as she appeared to be sporting an engagement ring. Over the past few months, the ring had been displayed in more social media posts, as well as on the Met Gala red carpet, where she and Turner walked together. The pair were first spotted together at the beginning of 2024, and were Instagram official later in the year. Despite their whirlwind romance, Lipa told British Vogue they haven't started wedding planning yet. 'I want to finish my tour, Callum's shooting, so we're just enjoying this period,' she said. 'I've never been someone who's really thought about a wedding, or dreamt about what kind of bride I would be. All of a sudden I'm like: 'Oh, what would I wear?'' The 29-year-old added that even though she's seen other people get engaged, she 'never really understood the weight of it.' But now, she said, 'This decision to grow old together, to see a life and just, I don't know, be best friends forever — it's a really special feeling.' Lipa said she first met Turner, 35, at The River Cafe in London when she was having dinner with her father and he was grabbing a meal with friends. But they could have met several times before, she explained. In 2014, she was working at a London restaurant, and they later found a photo of Turner outside of the same spot. And in 2020, they went to the same party, pre-COVID, and even had photos with the same guy in the background, she said. About a year after she was introduced to Turner at The River Cafe, she was having dinner in Los Angeles with a friend, 'and all of a sudden Callum shows up,' she said. 'Oh, it's that really hot guy from The River Cafe,' she recalled thinking at the time. Lipa said Turner walked over and asked her what she was reading, and she answered 'Trust,' by Hernan Diaz. 'And we both just happened to be reading the same book,' she said. When asked if all of the events makes her feel like they were destined to be together, she replied, 'One thousand per cent.'

The real reason Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin split as insider reveals what finally made her walk away
Dakota Johnson was ready to walk down the aisle — but Chris Martin wasn't, and it cost them their relationship. The nepo baby actress, 35, and the Coldplay frontman, 48, began dating in 2017, got engaged years later, and on June 4, it was revealed they had quietly called it quits. A source told 'Their relationship has been over for a long time, they just haven't been able to figure out how to make it official.' As fans spiraled over the A-list breakup, another insider revealed the real reason behind the split on Tuesday: Martin's cold feet. 'She was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding,' a source told Page Six. The news comes just days after Martin sparked speculation with a cryptic shout-out to Dakota at Coldplay's Las Vegas show on Friday. 'Thank you so much everybody,' the Paradise singer said to the sold-out crowd at Allegiant Stadium, before unexpectedly referencing Johnson's latest film. 'Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other,' he admonished before adding, 'Don't forget to see Materialists! We love you!' in video shared by Deuxmoi. While the person who shot the video seemed to think the promotion meant 'THEYRE NOT BROKEN UP,' others disagreed. 'I can totally seeing him supporting her even after the break up,' another stated. 'You can breakup with someone and still be supportive. Look at him and GP,' said one fan, referring to the hitmaker's successful relationship with ex-wife Gwyneth Paltrow. 'I mean, didn't he help pioneer conscious uncoupling?' asked a fan, referring to the way Martin and Paltrow formally parted in 2014, although their divorce was not finalized until two years later. Reps for the pair have not officially confirmed their split. Last week, source said the 50 Shades of Grey star 'held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much.' The insider continued: 'Dakota is devastated that she isn't going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them.' They added that there is a chance the pair may reconcile but 'right now, being separated will do wonders if they were to have any type of future together.' DailyMail first reported trouble between the pair in August 2024 but a rep later confirmed they were still together. The pair had a brief rumored split in 2019 which was alleged to be over Martin pushing for them to have children, but they quickly got back together. Martin famously split from Paltrow the mother of his two children Apple, 21, and Moses, 19, in March 2014 after ten years of marriage. The then-Hollywood power couple described their separation at the time as a 'conscious uncoupling' and had their divorce finalized in July 2016. Martin was reported to be in an on-and-off relationship with actress Annabelle Wallis before they split in August 2017. He was first seen with Dakota at a sushi restaurant in Los Angeles in October 2017 when they were reported to be 'cozy, laughing and affectionate'. Dakota, the daughter of Don Johnson, 75, and Melanie Griffith, 68, was spotted a month later at a Coldplay concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, leading to fans posing social media pictures of her enjoying the show. The couple were seen out on more dates around Los Angeles in early 2018. But it was nearly a year later that they made their first openly public appearance together at Stella McCartney's Autumn 2018 Collection show in LA. Dakota appeared to confirm her relationship with Martin in an interview with Tatler in September 2018 when she said: 'I'm not going to talk about it, but I am very happy.' The following November, she is said to have met Paltrow, her new husband Brad Falchuk, and Martin's children at a Thanksgiving dinner A source told PEOPLE at the time: 'They're a total modern family and had a great time celebrating together.' The couple were spotted again with Paltrow and Falchuk on the beach in the Hamptons, New York, in August 2019. Paltrow opened up about her ex-husband's relationship with Dakota in a 2020 interview with Harper's Bazaar, describing how the actress had become part of her family. She said: 'I love her. I can see how it would seem weird because it's sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her.' Johnson gushed over Martin's children in a 2024 interview, saying: 'I love those kids like my life depends on it. With all my heart.'

Joe Rogan says two former presidents complained to Spotify in bid to censor his COVID views
Controversial podcaster Joe Rogan claimed two former presidents tried to get him kicked off Spotify in a bid to censor his COVID-19 views. Rogan, 57, gained widespread recognition during the pandemic for being a COVID-19 skeptic and encouraging young people not to get vaccines designed to lessen the effects of an infection. His strong opinions - which went against the advice of public health officials - led many to call for his ultra-popular podcast to be taken down from Spotify, where he signed a $100million exclusivity deal in 2020 and has since resigned a $250million deal. The conservative host took to his podcast on Tuesday to reveal some very high-profile people had begged the streaming service to cut his show, including two unidentified former presidents. 'Spotify got calls from two former presidents,' he told his guest, Dr. Mary Talley Bowden, without naming either lawmaker. has reached out to Spotify for comment. Singer Neil Young also issued Spotify an ultimatum, telling the company he would not share a platform with a podcaster who spread 'false information about vaccines.' The singer's catalog was removed from the site but has since returned in 2024. Despite the massive backlash that threatened to derail Rogan's empire in the public sphere, he says he was unbothered by the fuss and 'grew by two million subscribers in a month.' 'I did [grow], because people started listening,' he said on the podcast. 'Because they made it sound like I was this maniac and they started listening, like: "Oh, he's really reasonable and pretty humble about all this stuff and is just asking questions."' Rogan, whose podcast is hugely popular among young men, also defended his beliefs, saying he brought on doctors and medical professionals who were well-known and published. 'You'd see their eyes glaze like they didn't want to hear it,' he said of critics. Ultimately, Spotify did not remove Rogan's podcast from its platform. Founder Daniel Ek later addressed the controversy in 2022, saying: 'I think the important part here is that we don't change our policies based on one creator, nor do we change it based on any media cycle. 'Our policies have been carefully written with the input from numbers of internal and external experts in this space – and I do believe they're right for our platform.' However, despite allowing him on the platform, Ek said there were 'many things that Joe Rogan says that I strongly disagree with and find very offensive.' At the time of the incident, then-White House Press Secretary, Jen Psaki, called on Spotify to do more to 'combat misinformation' during the COVID-19 pandemic, which killed more than one million Americans. 'Our hope is that all major tech platforms and all major news sources for that matter be responsible and vigilant to ensure the American people have access to accurate information on something as significant as Covid-19. That certainly includes Spotify,' the Biden-era secretary said at the time. Spotify would go on to flag content that covered the virus, which Psaki said was a 'positive step.' 'But we want every platform to continue doing more to call out misinformation while also uplifting accurate information.' It is unknown if Joe Biden was one of the former presidents who contacted Spotify. During the 2024 election cycle, Rogan's guests included Donald Trump himself, who later credited podcast appearances as a major boost to his campaign. Rogan had previously turned down having the two-time president on his show, but changed his mind after he saw the politician on fellow comedian Theo Von's show. He has since had on several of Trump's top camp, including FBI Director Kash Patel and former First Buddy Elon Musk. Kamala Harris was keen to appear on the show, but plans fell apart after she refused to travel to Rogan's Austin studio during her campaign. Rogan's podcast has 14.5million followers, as of 2024 - largely outshining his competition, despite no longer being exclusive to Spotify.
