Jennifer Lopez, 55, sizzles in a string bikini in unfiltered photos that reveal bruises on her legs
The Maid In Manhattan star, 55, looked gorgeous in a black-and-white bikini with bottoms that tied at her hips in new images shared to Instagram.
JLo wore a white blouse tied at her waist as she sat with her legs spread on either side of the lounge chair.
Several bruises dotted her thighs and knees she and looked at the camera with aviator sunglasses donning her face as she had on a gold JENNIFER necklace.
The Jenny From the Block singer's lounge chair sat in the grass a bit of a way away from the pool.
The ex-wife of Ben Affleck, 52, looked happy as she paid attention to her phone.
The Spain sighting comes after Jennifer shared a cheeky video and photos to her Instagram from her 4th of July celebration.
'Happy 4th of July,' she began while barely holding back her laughter.
'Want a cupcake?' she said while holding two in front of her breasts and shaking her torso from side to side.
The superstar went on to joke: 'This is what happens when you hang out with the gays.'
The video then cut to a clip of Jennifer Coolidge in season two of White Lotus saying 'the gays.'
She proceeded to share the cupcake selfies in an Instagram post and captioned it, 'Happy Fourth of July everybody. ✨ Here are the cupcake selfies LOL.'
Her fans overwhelmingly shared love and Happy 4th of July wishes to their idol.
Many said that the last photo in the Wedding Planner star's carousel – the one with two cupcakes over her breasts – was their favorite.
One fan offered JLo singer some sage advice.
'I'll take a cupcake??! Happy Fourth Jennifer!! ❤️P.S. Hang out with the fabulous gays more often please, and thank you.'
Another fan thanked Lopez for all she does to bring happiness to her life.
'So cute! I just love you Jen, thank you for being so wonderful just the way you are, thank you for having a huge heart and for always (even when you're busy) always thinking about your JLovers, never change the way you are! '
They continued: 'Thank you to the universe for my heart choosing to be a fan of someone like you.'
The Marry Me star's post comes after she took a swipe at her ex-husband Ben Affleck, 52, in a new song.
The Gigli star debuted six new songs at an exclusive listening party for 30 lucky fans in Los Angeles last week - and dropped a hint about her recent personal turmoil.
The collapse of their marriage was the culmination of months of rumors that the couple's relationship was heading towards implosion.
Lopez appears to have taken a swipe at Ben in her music, in the lyrics to a song called Wreckage of You that she played at the listening party.
One of the guests, Edgardo Luis Rivera, shared that JLo '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,"' via Us Weekly.
'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,' he noted.

The lesson of Lily Allen's time-out: every podcaster deserves a break
Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart, Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver, Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe are 'always on'. In podcast parlance, that is — I can't vouch for them socially. Where other shows have seasons, these presenting double acts release episodes twice weekly, year-round. With the holidays upon us, I have been wondering: how do 'always on' podcasters take a break? With group-presented shows like The News Agents or Americast, the rest of the team can pick up the slack. But duo shows like Miss Me? with Allen and Oliver, Parenting Hell with Beckett and Widdicombe and all of Goalhanger's The Rest Is… formats rely on the specific dynamic of their presenting pair.

Bend It Like Beckham follow-up in pipeline more than 20 years after original film was released
More than two decades after the release of Bend It Like Beckham, writer and director Gurinder Chadha OBE has announced she is planning to revive the hugely popular story. On the eve of the final of the 2025 Euros, where the Lionesses will try to defend their crown against Spain in Basel on Sunday, Chadha has spoken of plans for a follow up to the film that starred Parminder Nagra, Keira Knightley and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. What format it takes, whether a sequel to the feature film, series or alternative, will be decided in due course. 'I am so happy to be here in Basel for the Euros, the atmosphere is amazing,' said Chadha. 'What I can share with you today is my very clear wish to bring the beloved characters from Bend It Like Beckham back to you and audiences globally very, very soon. Women's football is more competitive, more exciting, and more global than ever. It is an honor for me to be a small part of it.' Chadha, who has fielded requests for a return of the story for years but has waited for the right plot to come to her so as to not tarnish the legacy of the original, added: 'After 23 years and being unable to come up with a storyline that was as good as the original, I have finally found a fantastic story for a Bend It Like Beckham follow up.' Released in 2002, Bend It Like Beckham showed football obsessed Jesminder 'Jess' Bhamra balance joining the Hounslow Harriers and finding herself on the pitch while grappling with family, cultural and societal expectations of what a Punjabi British girl should be. It was a huge box office hit and is the only film distributed in every country in the world, including North Korea. 'The original film, for me, was about lifting up girls and saying you can do and be anything you want, even though society dictates what you can and can't do,' said Chadha, who has also confirmed US women's national team manager, Emma Hayes, is collaborating on the new project. 'That message is still relevant today. Even though women's football rides so high around the world, and that's amazing and it's wonderful that the original film has been part of that legacy, I feel there is more that I can do and so that's what I'm writing. It will be hard hitting, of course, but it will also be incredibly joyous, how can it not be as a follow up to Bend It Like Beckham?' 'I'm super excited to have connected with Emma who, when I first met her, said: 'On my god, I was Keira Knightley, that was me!' I know all the amazing work that she is doing both in front and behind the scenes for women's football, so have brought her on board as a collaborator as I write the script which I'm working on right now.' Hayes, who won seven league titles, two League Cups and five FA Cups with Chelsea before moving into international football, winning Olympic gold two months after taking up her post, said: 'I met Gurinder at a chance meeting in Cannes in June. It felt like the stars aligned for us to meet. I told her the massive impact the film had had on me when I was younger and that I was Keira Knightley in Bend it Like Beckham. I cried in the cinema watching the film because I felt just like Jess and Jules.' Hayes moved to the US early on in her career in search of greater opportunities and professionalism in the women's game and it played a pivotal role in her development. 'There was no hope for women's football in Britain then, so I was going to the US to try my luck there,' said Hayes. 'I could never have dreamed of how much that film helped change the women's game. Now, I have the best job in world football as head coach of the US women's national team. Like I said, the stars aligned and now I'm helping Gurinder with all my experience and insight in the game.' Sign up to Moving the Goalposts No topic is too small or too big for us to cover as we deliver a twice-weekly roundup of the wonderful world of women's football after newsletter promotion Lisa Nandy MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, who will be attending the Euro 2025 final with Chadha, described the announcement as a 'brilliant moment for British film'. 'Bend It Like Beckham captured something so special about Britain, our spirit, our diversity, and our ability to dream big in the face of challenge,' she said. 'Gurinder Chadha gave us a story that resonated far beyond the screen and became part of our cultural DNA. 'The announcement of a follow up is a brilliant moment for British film. It builds on a legacy that continues to inspire and shows the world what British storytelling can do. Productions like this help tell our national story, remind us who we are, and who we can be.'

Brooks Nader suffers very racy wardrobe malfunction in skimpy dress as she parties in Saint-Tropez
Brooks Nader commanded attention when she was spotted stepping out in Saint-Tropez for a night on the town this weekend. The 28-year-old supermodel has been basking in the delights of Europe this summer, including taking a viral trip to Wimbledon. Now she has made her way down to the South of France, where she was glimpsed heading towards the upscale club VIP Room by the waterfront. She was decked out in a peekaboo black gown that was perfectly fitted to highlight her enviably svelte frame as she pounded the pavement en route to the venue. Sharpening her unmistakable features with makeup, she let her caramel-colored locks cascade freely over her shoulders in luscious waves. Her outfit was so revealingly cut that she briefly suffered a wardrobe malfunction on the street, as one of the slender straps covering her bust drifted off to one side. Brooks' latest blunder comes after she demonstrated her healthy sense of humor about herself while addressing an outfit mishap at Wimbledon. The sizzling sensation stuck to the themes of summertime and tennis, slipping into a white skirt for the world-famous tournament. But while she was in public, her period started and she bled through the fabric, with stains visible along the back of the skirt. She laughed off the snafu on TikTok, posting a video of herself getting confidently up from a table only for her sisters to start cringing at her. At that point Brooks turned around and the shot ran down the length of her outfit, so that the stains were in clear view on camera. The Baton Rouge-born clotheshorse poked fun at herself the in text over the video as well, writing: 'tries to be chic,' and then: 'Starts [blood emoji] at Wimbledon.' Fans leapt into the comments to praise her for being 'real' and 'NORMALIZING it,' with one writing: 'A canon event for all us girlies.' 'The one time you wear something non sheer and maxi,' joked one commenter with crying, praying and heart emoji - earning a like from Brooks. Brooks waved off the mishap and sat cheerfully in the audience at Wimbledon that day, with her sister Sarah Jane right beside her. She had another wardrobe malfunction in April at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards, where her structured dress drifted forward at one point and exposed her left nipple. Her latest outing comes three months after confirmed she has once again split from Dancing With The Stars pro Gleb Savchenko, 41. Brooks and Gleb started dating while competing as a team on Dancing With The Stars last autumn, triggering allegations they were engaged in a 'showmance.' They briefly broke up late last year but rekindled their romance, until it emerged in early April that Brooks had decided to leave him. Brooks' sister Grace has accused Gleb of being unfaithful, which he staunchly denied, insisting he is 'not a cheater' or a 'f***boy,' via E! News. Gleb was previously married to Russian artist Elena Samodanova for 14 years until she filed for divorce near the end of 2020. Their acrimonious split played out in the headlines, with Elena accusing Gleb of repeated infidelity and Gleb denying her allegations. Meanwhile, Brooks was seen chatting with Tom Brady at Michael Rubin's star-studded Fourth Of July party in 2024, setting off an avalanche of dating rumors. The sighting came days after she shared a kiss with Prince Constantine Alexios of Greece and Denmark in the functions leading up to Olivia Culpo's wedding. Brooks separated from her husband Billy Haire in May 2024 after four years of marriage, with a source informing the split was amicable. Billy, who tied the knot with Brooks in December 2019, works as a vice president at The Arena Group, which published Sports Illustrated until earlier this year. Brooks first rose to fame by winning the Sports Illustrated Swim Search in 2019, and last year she was featured on the cover of the Swimsuit Issue. She and her sisters Mary, Grace and Sara are now all starring together on a reality show called Love Thy Nader, slated to bow on Hulu and Freeform this summer.
