Amid ongoing marital challenges with Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez spent quality time with her stepdaughter, Violet Affleck, just a day after they were spotted together.

The 54-year-old superstar was joined by her husband’s 18-year-old daughter and her friend, actress Cassidey Fralin, in Southampton, New York.

Lopez dazzled in a long black dress, showcasing her toned back, paired with sandals and sunglasses. Her long brown hair flowed in effortless waves, and she carried a sleek black purse.

Meanwhile, Violet opted for a vibrant ensemble, donning a red and pink shirt with patterned white pants and sneakers. She completed her look with her signature frames and a face mask, just days after making headlines for her impassioned ‘mask mandate’ speech.

The day before, Lopez and Violet shared a special bond during a trip to the East Hampton Antiques & Design Show. Lopez opted for a casual yet stylish look, pairing a white tank top with an open back, blue jeans, and wedges.

She pulled her hair back into a sleek low bun and accessorized with shades and hoop earrings, creating a chic summer look.

Violet, on the other hand, chose a playful outfit, wearing a pink crop top with a flowy pink skirt adorned with cherry detailing and white sneakers.

The same day, Lopez shared a heartwarming video on her Instagram Stories, capturing herself, Violet, and Fralin in the car. The clip showed Lopez in the front seat, the sunroof open, her sparkling wedding ring on full display as she smiled at the camera.

In the backseat, the girls gazed out the window, their faces illuminated by the sunlight as the wind gently blew Lopez’s hair.

According to People, a source revealed that Lopez ‘seemed very happy’ during the shopping trip with her stepdaughter, sporting a ‘big smile’ on her face.

Another insider shared that the duo attracted attention at Roller Rabbit in East Hampton, N.Y., but remained unfazed as they exited the store surrounded by onlookers.

This heartwarming outing comes amidst rumors of marital challenges for Lopez and Affleck, who tied the knot in 2022.

The couple spent the Fourth of July weekend apart, with Lopez celebrating in the Hamptons while Affleck remained in Los Angeles.

Affleck spent quality time with his children from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner, including Violet, Seraphina (aka Fin), 15, and Samuel, 12.

Adding fuel to the fire, it was revealed on Thursday that their $60.85 million Beverly Hills marital home had been publicly listed for sale, as reported by TMZ.

Back in June, the couple had attempted to quietly offload the lavish 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom mansion but were unsuccessful.

The MLS listing notes that the house underwent renovations within the last four months, justifying the $3 million spike in the asking price.

Earlier this summer, reports surfaced that Lopez and Affleck had been living apart for ‘months,’ sparking speculation about a potential divorce.

Adding to the speculation, Affleck was recently spotted without his wedding ring, and the couple has been residing separately, with Affleck in a rental home near his children’s mother and Lopez taking a solo vacation to Italy.

According to People, a source revealed that Affleck had been seen moving his belongings out of their Beverly Hills home, further fueling the rumors.

‘Ben continues to live at the Brentwood rental. He’s been there for about two months now,’ the insider shared. ‘He seems okay. He’s been at his office every day and seems focused on work. He’s also spending time with his kids.’

Despite the challenges, Lopez took the time to wish Affleck a Happy Father’s Day, sharing a black-and-white photo of him on her Instagram Story, accompanied by a white heart emoji and the words, ‘Our hero. Happy Father’s Day.’

Following their Georgia nuptials, Lopez opened up about a few glitches during their wedding weekend in August 2022.

Despite the challenges, the couple persevered, and Lopez reflected on the beauty of their wedding day, sharing that ‘it had rained at sunset every day that week.’

She added, ‘Everyone was worried about the heat. Not to mention the thunder and lightning that arrived almost on cue each day at the exact time the ceremony was supposed to start that Saturday.’

Lopez also revealed that she walked down the aisle to ‘The Things We’ve Handed Down,’ a song that captured the essence of their blended family.

She explained, ‘The twenty years between those dreams of youth and the adult world of love and family we embraced that day, brought more to this marriage than either of us ever could have imagined. We weren’t only marrying one another; we were marrying these children into a new family.’

She further described the changes as ‘a phenomenal year,’ adding, ‘My best year I think since my kids were born.’

Lopez also took a moment to gush about Affleck, calling him ‘dreamy’ and a ‘sweetheart.’
