Jennifer Lopez and husband Ben Affleck share a sweet kiss as they treat their children to a lavish shopping spree in Beverly Hills
Jennifer Lopez and husband, Ben Affleck, were seen sharing a loving kiss as they treated their children to a lavish shopping spree in Beverly Hills on Saturday.
The Mother actress, 53, who sported a large arm tattoo on set of Affleck’s sports drama, Unstoppable, on Wednesday, was joined by the Oscar winner, 50, and her twins, Max and Emme, 15, whom she welcomed with ex-husband, Marc Anthony.
The On The Floor hitmaker embraced her chic sense of style wearing a yellow and brown-striped backless dress to stay cool in the warmer weather.
The beauty slipped into a pair of open-toed, brown strappy shoes with a block heel to coincide with the color scheme of her daytime ensemble.
Upon tying the knot in July 2022, the singer also became stepmother to Ben’s three children he shares with ex-wife, Jennifer Garner: Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11. However, the trio were not spotted during the weekend outing.

A brown, Yves Saint Laurent purse with a gold-chained strap was easily slung over her left shoulder to hold a few items she needed during the day.
Her brunette locks were parted in the middle, and styled up into a messy up do, allowing her bangs to gently fall onto the sides of her forehead.
She accessorized her look by adding a pair of flashy, gold-hooped earrings along with a large pair of sunglasses to protect her eyes under the bright, California sunshine.
The Good Will Hunting actor opted for casual comfort in a pair of blue jeans and a cream-colored button up. He added a white shirt underneath and slipped into a pair of brown Nike shoes.
The star also threw on a pair of black shades as he accompanied his wife of nearly one year and his stepchildren, twins Max and Emme, who also kept their looks simplistic for the shopping spree.
The family was spotted stepping out of a sleek, black vehicle to pick up a few items at a nearby toy store. Affleck assisted in loading a slew of orange bags into their parked car after a few purchases had been made.

The two lovebirds appeared to be relaxed and enjoyed spending time together, which comes shortly after a video went viral that showed Ben seemingly ‘slamming’ a car door after his wife sat in the passenger seat.
After picking up a few more items from a popular store called, Daiso, the stars, along with Max and Emme, strolled on a crowded sidewalk to head to their next destination.
Lopez recently opened up about feeling ‘guilty’ over the negative impact that her stardom has on her twins during an interview with Audacy earlier this month to promote her Netflix film, The Mother.
‘I haven’t talked to them a lot about this but we have just started. They have just started letting me know, like, how people treat them and do things like that,’ she revealed.
The actress and singer explained that her celebrity status is on people’s minds when crossing paths with her own children. ‘So when they walk into the room, THAT’s what people are thinking about, they’re not seeing them for who they are.’
‘And I think that that has to be a really hard thing for them, so I would love to have been able to protect them from that,’ and further emphasized that Max and Emme ‘being judged’ by strangers is ‘difficult for them.’
She then expressed feeling ‘guilty’ over the situation, stating, ‘But it is, it’s hard for them I think. I did that to them. And so that, you know, again, like, we have this guilt as moms, it’s like what we do and what we brought into their lives.’

Earlier on Friday, Ben was seen attending a parent-teacher event at a school with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
In March, he opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about ‘mischaracterized’ comments made in the past about his ex-wife.
He explained that while talking to Howard Stern in 2021, his words were taken the wrong way about his alcoholism and marriage to Garner.
‘The idea that I was blaming my wife for my drinking. To be clear, my behavior is my responsibility entirely. The point that I was trying to make was a sad one,’ he stated.
‘Anyone who’s been through divorce makes that calculus of, How much did we try? We loved each other. We care about each other. We have respect for each other.’
‘I was trying to say, “Hey, look, I was drinking too much, and the less happy you become, whether it’s your job, your marriage, it’s just that as your life becomes more difficult, if you’re doing things to fill a hole that aren’t healthy, you’re going to start doing more of those things.”‘
In a past interview with People, he also stated that he was ‘grateful’ to Garner and added, ‘Our marriage didn’t work, and that’s difficult.’
‘Both of us really believe that it’s important for kids to see their parents respect one another and get along, whether they’re together or not,’ and later said, ‘It’s important for my kids to know that I respect and care about Jen and she treats me the same way. I have a lot of respect and gratitude toward her. And I wish her the very best.’

Along with spending time with their blended family, both Lopez and Affleck are working together once again on the upcoming sports drama titled, Unstoppable.
The pair also appeared in the 2001 film, Gigli, together and also worked on the 2004 movie, Jersey Girl. The new project is based on a novel of the same name written by wrestler, Anthony Robles.
Jennifer was seen on Wednesday with a large arm tattoo as she got into character for the film, which is produced by both her husband, Ben, and close pal, Matt Damon, under their own company called, Artists Equity.
While most plot and character details have remained under wraps, Jharrel Jerome has been cast to play Anthony Robles, who won the 2011 NCAA national wrestling championship, although he was born with only one leg.
