Jennifer Lopez Slammed Over Outfit During Outing With Ben Affleck’s Son

The actress-singer took the teenager on a luxurious shopping trip in Beverly Hills last weekend but chose to don an outfit that flaunted her toned midriff.

Once snaps of the outing made their way online, some netizens slammed Jennifer Lopez’s wardrobe choice as “inappropriate” and “embarrassing.”

Jennifer Lopez’s latest outing with Ben Affleck’s son, Samuel, has raised eyebrows due to the outfit she chose for the occasion.

Over the weekend, Lopez took the teenager shopping in Beverly Hills, an outing that hinted she was still devoted to being his stepmother despite her split from his father.

However, once pictures of the outing went viral, the focus quickly shifted to her outfit, with the singer wearing low-waist, baggy trousers and an oversized long-sleeved, cropped top that revealed much of her midriff.

In no time, some netizens began questioning Lopez’s mothering abilities, with one asking why she would “dress like that with her kids.”

A number of individuals also slammed the outfit as “embarrassing” and “inappropriate,” particularly referencing the midriff-baring crop top.

One person wrote, “How inappropriate to wear that top! Does she not get it?” while another remarked, “Showing her body to a preteen is inappropriate.”

The outfit was also labeled “ridiculous,” with some suggesting that Affleck’s son looked “so uncomfortable.”

Amid the backlash, several defended Lopez, noting that there was nothing wrong with her outfit, while some praised the singer’s stunning physique, highlighted by the crop top.

During her marriage to Affleck, Lopez had a great relationship with the actor’s kids, Violet, Fin, and Samuel, whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

On multiple occasions in the past, one or more of the kids were spotted with Affleck and Lopez on outings.

This includes Lopez and Affleck attending Samuel’s basketball game in Los Angeles in June 2024, around the same time rumors were in full swing that their marriage was heading for trouble.

In September of that year, after Lopez filed for divorce, she and Affleck also had a blended family lunch that included her twins, Emme and Max, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

At the time, a source noted that Lopez was trying to remain friendly with Affleck despite their split, and that the children were one of the main reasons for this effort.

“The kids always got along and have fun together. It makes her happy seeing the kids happy together. Happy kids are her priority,” the insider said, per People magazine.

Earlier this year, Affleck further proved that the split was amicable and that both he and Lopez remained involved with each other’s kids when he attended the premiere of his movie “The Accountant 2” with them.

“The kids are here, Jen’s kids are here, I’m very, very excited,” Affleck told Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet of the premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles. “I love when all the kids come out. It’s really fun, it’s exciting.”

The actor went on to describe Lopez as “spectacular” before reeling out a list of praises that highlighted her bond with his kids and her warm personality.

“[She is] great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them,” the actor said about his ex-wife, per The Blast. “She’s enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and I’m grateful to. “

Despite their split now approaching a year, the amicable relationship between Affleck and Lopez is said to have remained unchanged.

“Things between Ben and Jennifer are good,” a source recently informed People magazine. “Even though they’re not together anymore, they’ve stayed on friendly terms.”
