Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's Kids: Family Drama and Studio Visits!

Jennifer Lopez, 55, turned her work into a family affair when she invited her child Emme, 17, to a dance studio in Los Angeles on Wednesday

JENNIFER LOPEZ TURNS WORK INTO FAMILY AFFAIR AS SHE INVITES CHILD EMME TO DANCE STUDIO

Get ready for a dose of mother-daughter bonding, folks! Jennifer Lopez, 55, took her work to new heights – quite literally – when she invited her 17-year-old daughter Emme to join her at a dance studio in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The "Hustlers" star looked every bit the fitness enthusiast in her sporty ensemble, while Emme opted for a casual-cool vibe that screamed "I'm not here to dance, mom!"

As Jennifer's ex-husband Ben Affleck revealed just last month, he's still very much involved in his former stepchildren's lives – including their recent premiere appearance at his thriller film The Accountant 2. However, this latest family outing has got us wondering if J.Lo is trying to make up for lost time with her daughter Emme.

J.Lo rocked a baggy cropped zip-up hoodie with leggings and white trainers, while Emme favored a casual–cool look that suggested they weren't joining her for the dance practice

Jennifer rocked a baggy outfit that showcased her rock-hard abs beneath an oversized gray zip-up hoodie, paired with black sports bra and leggings. Her caramel-colored hair cascaded down her shoulders, framing her large aviator sunglasses perfectly. And let's not forget those white trainers and mid-calf socks – talk about a workout-ready look!

Emme, on the other hand, favored a more relaxed vibe in their casual ensemble. The nepo baby (who uses they/them pronouns) donned a white tank top underneath a long gray-green gingham button-up shirt worn open, paired with baggy denim cargo shorts and classic black Converse high-top sneakers. They finished off the look with stylish eyeglasses and earbuds – because even when you're not dancing, you've got to keep those tunes going!

But amidst all the mother-daughter bonding and fitness vibes, let's not forget about Ben Affleck's recent remarks on his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight in April, he gushed about their children Max (17) and Emme attending the premiere of his film The Accountant 2 – an event that shocked fans worldwide.

"For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them," Ben said, going on to praise her as "an enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to." He even shared a sweet moment with J.Lo's children Max and Emme, along with his own kids from his marriage to Jennifer Garner – Violet (19), Fin (16), and Samuel (13).

But despite Ben's warm words, fans are left wondering if he's still bitter about his divorce from J.Lo. After all, it was reported that Ben went to great lengths to sever their final ties – including a humbling attempt to sell their joint Beverly Hills mega-mansion for a whopping $60.8 million in cash.

And speaking of real estate drama, did you know that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce was finalized just this January? Yep, the power couple's whirlwind romance (and marriage) lasted a mere two years before J.Lo filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences" on April 26, 2024.

Last month, Jennifer was lambasted by fans for her lesbian kiss at the American Music Awards

Now that we've got all that juicy gossip out of the way, let's talk about Jennifer's recent AMAs performance. Viewers were left scratching their heads when she shared a lesbian kiss with a male and female dancer during an opening medley – an act some fans branded "desperate." But according to an insider exclusively speaking to TheScholarlyNote.com, J.Lo was simply following her PR team's direction for her post-Ben comeback.

"J.Lo followed the direction of her PR and she did exactly what she was told to do for her post-Ben [Affleck] comeback," the source spilled. "She is living her best life and has zero f*s to give right now... She dealt with so much uncertainty, but she was brave. She did not allow the negative commentary to bring her down. Instead, she kept going and living her life."

And there you have it – Jennifer Lopez's latest family outing, Ben Affleck's sweet remarks about his ex-wife, and a whole lot of drama surrounding their divorce and real estate shenanigans. Stay tuned for more updates from TheScholarlyNote.com!
