Jennifer Lopez continues to flaunt her new look while out in LA after releasing Ben Affleck heartbreak song

Daily Mail​12 hours ago
Jennifer Lopez continued to flaunt her latest look as she enjoyed a lowkey shopping trip with one of her twins Emme in Beverly Hills over the weekend.
The On The Floor hitmaker, 55 - who was recently seen hitting the dance studio - paid a visit to Saks Fifth Avenue just one day after the Fourth of July holiday.
It comes shortly after she debuted six new songs at an exclusive listening party for 30 lucky fans earlier this week - with one track seemingly referencing to her divorce from Ben Affleck.
Lopez showed off her sculpted midriff wearing a long-sleeved, white cropped shirt as well as a pair of green trousers.
The actress additionally slipped into a pair stylish pumps while adding a gray cap on top of her long, straight locks.
Jennifer completed her outfit for the daytime excursion by holding a dark brown clutch bag in her hand.
The singer flashed a cheerful smile as she stepped out of a sleek SUV upon arriving to the shop, with Emme strolling close by.
Lopez shares twins Max and Emme, 17, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, whom she was married to from 2004 until their divorce in 2014.
Two days earlier on Thursday, the beauty first debuted her new look while grabbing a bite to eat during a night out in L.A.
She embraced a retro 70s-inspired makeover which comprised of long straight hair as well as an off-the-shoulder, silver satin dress.
Jennifer added a gray fedora on top of her head and was joined by a mystery male companion for the lighthearted outing.
Also this week, the star held an exclusive listening party for 30 fans in L.A. where she debuted six new songs, with one hinting at her Ben Affleck split.
The former couple tied the knot in 2022 after rekindling their romance but last year in August, Lopez notably filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary.
A guest by the name of Edgardo Luis Rivera had been in attendance at the intimate event and opened up what her latest tracks, per Us Weekly.
One of the songs was titled Wreckage Of You and Rivera said that Lopez 'kept thinking of the word "wreck" because it means destruction, but she wasn't destroyed. In fact, the lyrics of the song are: "I'm stronger after the wreckage of you."'
He added, 'Wreckage of You is a pop ballad that she told us she cowrote and recorded two weeks ago.
'She said she was lying in bed after a long day of tour rehearsals when the idea of the song came to her.'
Edgardo further expressed, 'She mentioned how last year was a very difficult time for her both personally and professionally. She had to cancel her tour and really focus on herself.'
One year earlier, Jennifer cancelled her This Is Me... Live tour - which had been set to kick off shortly before her 55th birthday.
A statement obtained by DailyMail.com at the time read: 'Representatives for Live Nation announced today that the Jennifer Lopez US Summer 2024 Tour THIS IS ME...LIVE is canceled.
'Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends,' it was added.
Lopez herself also said she was 'heartsick and devastated' over the cancellation but added it was 'absolutely necessary.'
An insider also told DailyMail.com, 'She's taking time off to be with family and close friends. This was a very difficult decision made by Jennifer this week and she's sorry to her fans.'
Another fan who had attended the listening party offered their thoughts on Wreckage Of Me.
They said it is a 'very emotional, empowering song about walking away from a relationship and coming out a stronger person.'
Lopez also played an additional five songs which were titled: Birthday, Free, Up All Night, Save Me Tonight and Regular.
Edgardo explained that the four tracks were a bit more upbeat and 'fun, more Jennifer of old in terms of music style.' At one point when Birthday had been playing, the fans went 'nuts.'
Jennifer has been keeping busy as she prepares for her international summer tour Up All Night - which is set to begin on July 8 in Spain.
However, the upcoming concerts have already suffered multiple setbacks as date changes caused fury among fans.
The star additionally announced in May that she is set to return to Las Vegas for an upcoming residency also called Up All Night Live.
She will take to the stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on select dates beginning from December 30 through March of next year.
While recently talking to People, the beauty opened up about her excitement for a 'free and happy' summer - after her divorce from Affleck was settled in January.
'I'm excited to tour. I'm excited first to go do Pride. I'm super excited about that. I'm working on that show right now too as we speak, and crafting the tour as well. I'm excited to get back out there.'
The performer added, 'It seems like a perfect summer to celebrate being free and being happy.
'Just everything in my life right now just feels really healthy and good, and I'm ready to get out there and make people sing and dance and have a good time. That's always my goal.'
Over the Fourth of July holiday, Lopez had the chance to indulge in sugary cupcakes and showed off the decorated desserts on Instagram.
Also this week, her ex Sean 'Diddy' Combs was acquitted of the most serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking during his New York trial.
But the jury still found the rapper guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. The judge overseeing the case has ordered that he be kept behind bars until his sentencing hearing later this year in October.

Bride mercilessly mocked over ‘diabolical' wedding surprise for husband as they say he must be looking for an annulment

WHEN people share videos of their wedding day, it's often met with praise and swooning over the happy couple. But one bride has been mercilessly mocked after sharing the surprise she had in store for her husband and wedding guests. 2 Alexis Jennings decided to share the surprise on social media, three years after her big day. She wrote over the clip: "That time I performed a dance on my wedding day knowing my religious family would look down on it.'" In the clip, the brunette bride danced to Beyonce 's End of Time while wearing an all-white tracksuit and a black shirt underneath. Her husband, who was mostly out of the shot, could be seen sitting still watching her moves. While she is dancing, children run past the stage and some wedding guests can be seen completely ignoring her. The awkward dance saw her two-step left to right, pretending to march and whipping her hair around. "Debated doing this for so long that by the time I convinced myself to do it, I only had less than two months to learn the choreography," she captioned the post. "DO WHAT YOU WANT ON YOUR WEDDING DAY LADIES. My man loved it. "To further explain, I purposefully wore this covered up outfit and played down the dance moves out of respect for said religious family." But her 'religious family' at the wedding seemingly didn't have much to say about her moves - some members even recorded her and looked excited. I wasn't going to spend thousands on a wedding dress so got an Oh Polly one for £75 - no one would know it wasn't pricey Instead, it was the people in the comments of her TikTok that were quicker to judge the dance. The clip has since gone viral on her TikTok account @ alexojennings with over 14 million views and people didn't hold back with their opinion. One person wrote: "He's googling annulment facts as soon as this clip ends." "That man deserves the world for not laughing," penned a third. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Painful to watch. Hope you had fun though." "The best part is that you didn't have to do this at all,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "The fact her friends let her go ahead with this tells me she needs better friends." Despite the nasty comments, the bride stuck to her guns over the controversial dance. "Y'all roasting me is killing me, she commented. "The mean comments are only telling me what I already know - you're not gonna hurt my feelings. It's TIKTOK doing its "thang." It's all love." In fact, she was so unbothered by the hate that she posted a second clip of the dance as a response. In this follow-up video, she continued the solo dance to Beyoncé's Upgrade U. Alexis had similar right-to-left movements, something she chalks up to having to 'improvise' due to forgetting the moves.

Man spends two days looking for his lost waller, but can you see it?

A frustrated social media user spent two full days searching for his missing wallet... only to discover it was right in front of his eyes the entire time. Sharing a bathroom photo where the cash holder went missing on Reddit, the snap quickly went viral as the Internet obsessively tried to spot the camouflaged item. At first glance, the image shows a perfectly ordinary bathroom, with some people calling the photo one of the best optical illusions they've seen in months while others spotted the wallet on the floor in seconds. Reddit users dove into the challenge - with many admitting they had absolutely no clue what they were even supposed to be looking for and had the caption not mentioned a wallet they'd have been stumped. One person said: 'If you didn't say this, I would've never understood this photo,' one person confessed. Another joked: 'As a dude, most of our wallets are just big black squares, so it's immediately where my mind went.' One said: 'I literally didn't register that it was supposed to look like the floor pattern until I got to the comments. I was so confused. Others claimed they'd never have spotted it: 'If I walked in that bathroom, I'd probably never see it,' wrote one. 'You'd probably step on it and find it immediately,' another added. 'Oh so that's where I lost my wallet five years ago…'

The Midults: I'm cross with my ungrateful goddaughter

Dear A&E, I have noticed that my 15-year-old goddaughter has not thanked me for a present in the past few years. I send something for every Christmas and birthday, and I used to love getting the little scribbles and drawings. These days I don't even get a text, and it's making me not want to send anything ever again. Should I tell her mother how I feel? Or suck it up because she's a teenager and doesn't prioritise? We used to have a good relationship, but we haven't seen each other much lately. – Ticked-off Dear Ticked-off, Obviously this is rude. Don't we abhor rudeness? Wouldn't it be infinitely more satisfying, given the effort you made, if you were instantly rewarded with a perfectly pitched thank-you letter? ChatGPT would never forget to send a malleable missive, but teenagers aren't AI, and they aren't emotionally intelligent either. They are wandering the world in a hormonal vortex of their own, sliding between one existential crisis and another, triggered by anything from the break-up of their favourite band to pointed whispering on the bus. Not forgetting causes and atrocities, and the horror of skinny jeans returning. Anyone who disputes this has just forgotten what it is like. Being a teenager is pretty awful; you lose your collective mind. Never forget that there was a national helpline set up when Take That broke up in 1996. Your goddaughter probably (definitely) struggles to say thank you to her actual parents, let alone the random woman who sends her presents every year, as lovely as they may be. Especially since her mother probably (definitely) can no longer be bothered to police the process. We know, dear Ticked-off, that feeling like some random woman is not nice. Particularly as you clearly take the present-giving aspect of god-parenthood seriously. Most of us would rather avoid buying presents at all – the pressure, the cost, the pressure again. Unless you are Meghan Markle; consider gift-giving one of your many love languages; and are happiest indulging in hours of calligraphy and petal-scattering a day, present buying is extremely stressful. Presents for teenagers? Intimidating. Your goddaughter neglecting to acknowledge this effort? Well, it makes you feel invisible, doesn't it? We are no strangers to this gratitude vacuum. Emilie, who usually has an extremely long and elastic tether about things, got fed up with a friend of hers' children never responding to the tenners she sent in the post. She stopped. But Emilie was brought up in a feverish 'thank-you letter' environment. One year, she and her sister wrote the thank-yous as they opened their presents. Emilie slightly regrets her decision to stop sending the money – particularly when she sees how thrilled and grateful her own teenagers are when unexpected things arrive. Even if it takes them a bit of nagging to respond. Annabel's goddaughter went a bit quiet during her teenage years and then astonished her recently with a two-sided love-bomb of a letter. Annabel, impatient in almost every aspect of her life, had decided to hang in there, and she reaped the rewards. So, perhaps instead of viewing this in strictly transactional terms, why not think a little differently? Here we have two females: one, a teen, feeling confused and buffeted by the world in general, and the other, you, taken for granted. Why not change things up? Instead of sending presents, which were delightful and magical when she was young, you could consider converting this into time and space together. Perhaps you might take her out for an experience. Instead of walking away, is it time to deepen your relationship? She might appreciate having another sort-of-family-member-but-not grown-up in her life. You might appreciate it too. You could take her out to the theatre or to dinner or for a manicure – Annabel took another set of goddaughters out for lunch and a piercing last Christmas. Wouldn't it be more rewarding if being a god-parent became about offering yourself up as another trusted adult to help steer your goddaughter's journey through life? Instead of seething at the rudeness (and we still agree it's rude) of teenagers, why not lean into the situation? Why not use this as an opportunity for connection rather than disconnection? Some readers might disapprove of this approach, thinking it wrong to reward bad manners, to double-down when people are behaving in a disappointing fashion. Sure, you could absolutely cut your goddaughter off, or talk to her mother about the lack of gratitude, and see how that works out for you. Or you could quietly think about how you can reconfigure all this so that you gain something lovely and meaningful, a new set of memories you can cherish as much as the adorable hand-written scribblings of the toddler you once knew. And, dear Ticked-off, with this new relationship, who knows, you might find you get a really beautiful yield.
