- JLo. Ben Affleck in hot water amid Jennifer Lopez divorce as he tries to 'erase' a romantic mistake
- JLo. Jennifer Lopez looks incredible in first post since divorce from Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez continues to move swiftly on from Ben Affleck following her decision to divorce the actor by showing off her dance moves in a shopping trip with her 16-year-old daughter in Los Angeles.
The singer filed the divorce document on their second anniversary, dated August 20, which also revealed they have been split up since April 26 as she cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason.
In the wake of the split, she has been spending more time with her friends and family and can regularly be spotted on the East Coast of the United States, but her latest endeavor came in sunny California.
The 55-year-old was spotted in the Westfield Century Mall where paparazzi snapped her dancing on an escalator with her white cell phone in hand during a shopping trip with her daughter, Emme.
The actress and model wore a loose tank top, a denim skirt and gold sandals in her bid to stave off the August heat whilst she also glammed herself up with Gucci sunglasses and a Dior bag at the start of the new era of her life.
Interestingly, she still has a gold band/ring on her wedding finger despite announcing her split from the Batman star so could she be sending a cryptic message that it's something she has to do even though she still has feelings for him.
Affleck has a "darkness" within him
Lopez and Ben Affleck have now suffered their second failure together in their quest for love after initially dating in the early 2000s before breaking up, only to reunite in 2020 and get married in Las Vegas in 2022.
But their differences in approach to the celebrity life as well as their different personalities, with Lopez being a confident and public person whilst Affleck is more reclusive, has taken a toll on the pair.
"She truly believed this was the greatest love story she'd ever known and she was finally getting her chance at the fairy tale," a source told PageSix.com. "She just really didn't stop to consider who the actual man was [in] the fairy tale.
"Ben has a darkness to him that no other person can fix. [His actress ex-wife] Jen Garner couldn't fix it, all the success in the world couldn't fix it."
