Mommy-daughter time!
Jennifer Lopez enjoyed some girl time with her daughter, Emme, in West Hollywood before her and Ben Affleck's blended family gets together for the holidays.
The Latin pop star, 52, and Emme, 13 — whom she shares with ex Marc Anthony — were spotted at San Vicente Bungalows, along with her sister, Lynda Lopez, and her daughter, Lucie. The ladies were also joined by manager Benny Medina, Daily Mail reported.
Lopez's all-girls outing comes as she's been busying herself with Christmas shopping ahead of the holidays.
As OK! reported, the "On The Floor" singer's beau played doting dad to her kiddos while she hit the shops over the weekend. The Argo actor took his daughters, Violet, 16, and Seraphina, 12 — whom he shares with ex Jennifer Garner — and J.Lo's children, Emme and Max, 13, shopping while the Selena actress was spotted browsing through some garments at Saks Fifth Ave in Beverly Hills.
The couple's holiday gathering is a big step in Lopez and Affleck's relationship, as it's their first Christmas together since the rekindled flames reconciled in April — and they'll be joined by Affleck's ex-wife.
An insider exclusively squealed to OK! that the actor and the Jennifers want to celebrate the holidays together for the sake of their kids. "Christmas is all about the kids. Despite being totally opposites, Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez have bonded over the children," the source shared.
“It might sound strange to spend the holidays with your ex-husband's new girlfriend," continued the insider, "but Jennifer doesn’t care what other people think."
Luckily, the former Hollywood couple's drama seemed to have blown over just in time for their non-traditional family gathering.
OK! reported Affleck came under fire after his interview on The Howard Stern Show earlier this month, during which he spilled the tea on his and Garner's failed marriage. Aside from claiming he felt "trapped" in their marriage, Affleck insinuated their relationship was to blame for his drinking problem.
The interview came as a shock to fans, his ex and his current girlfriend, given that the coparents have maintained a healthy relationship after they officially divorced in 2018.
And while Lopez was reportedly "livid" with the Good Will Hunting star for seemingly bashing the mother of his children while she tries to form a relationship with Garner, it all appears to be water under the bridge.
"I couldn't have more respect for Ben as a father, a co-parent, and a person," Lopez insisted following claims she was furious with her handsome hunk — who clarified on his previous comments in light of the backlash — over his interview.
