Jennifer Lopez shows off fall style in LA as her dating life after Ben Affleck divorce is revealed

Jennifer Lopez showed off her chic fall style while stepping out in Los Angeles to visit a close pal on Saturday.

The On The Floor songstress, 55 – who performed in Saudi Arabia for an Elie Saab fashion event earlier this week – could be seen strolling under the sun during the weekend excursion.

It comes shortly after a source told DailyMail.com whether the Alias actress was ready to jump back into the dating pool after filing for divorce from Ben Affleck in August.

Lopez opted for stylish comfort wearing a pair of cream-colored sweatpants as well as a puffer vest that was partially zipped up at the front.

Underneath, the mother-of-two sported a long-sleeved, off-white shirt and tucked in a striped scarf that was wrapped around her neck.

Jennifer additionally slipped into a pair of white ankle boots that were secured with laces to complete the look.

The star’s brunette locks were parted in the middle, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves. 

Lopez chose to not wear flashy pieces of jewelry for the casual outing, but donned a pair of fashionable shades to protect her eyes from the California sunshine. 

While spending time with a friend, Jennifer was spotted making her away across a street in a quiet neighborhood. 

Her latest outing comes not long after a source revealed to DailyMail.com if the singer has plans to start dating again after her split from Affleck. 

The former couple tied the knot in 2022 – but Lopez notably filed for divorce three months earlier in August on their second wedding anniversary. 

Jennifer and Ben had previously dated in the early 2000s beginning in 2002. But after postponing their wedding in 2003, the two stars officially separated the next year. 

However, the insider explained that the actress wants to take time for herself before getting into another relationship. ‘Jen like most people, would love to have love in her life again.’ 

‘But the one person she has to give the time to right now is herself. If something presents itself, then obviously life and love find a way, but she isn’t looking to get into any new relationships.’

‘She is focused on her work and wants 2025 to be the year she gets back to being herself,’ the source said, and added, ‘She isn’t actively looking to date right now and is still processing losing Ben again.’ 

According to the insider, Lopez ‘likes being in a relationship almost immediately after one ends, but right now she is trying something new and seeing if that works out for her better.’ 

Earlier this month, a separate source had told In Touch that Jennifer was ‘on the prowl again’ following the split from Affleck. 

But the source shut down those claims to DailyMail.com and explained that the singer, ‘doesn’t want to get into anything that would be a temporary rebound.’ 

Last month in October, Lopez broke her silence on their split while talking to Interview Magazine – and described the separation as both ‘sad’ and ‘scary.’

The singer also discussed taking time before jumping into another relationship in the future and explained, ‘You have to be healthy. You have to be complete, if you want something that’s more complete.’

‘You have to be good on your own. I thought I learned that, but I didn’t. And then, this summer, I had to be like, “I need to go off and be on my own. I want to prove to myself that I can do that.”‘

Jenifer then revealed whether she has any regrets in regards to her marriage with Ben.

'But the one person she has to give the time to right now is herself. If something presents itself, then obviously life and love find a way, but she isn't looking to get into any new relationships,' the source added

‘Not one second. That doesn’t mean it didn’t almost take me out for good. It almost did,’ she stated, and revealed that she is ‘not looking for anybody.’

Lopez later candidly admitted that her split from Affleck was ‘f***ing hard’ and added, ‘It feels lonely, unfamiliar, scary. It feels sad. It feels desperate.’ 

‘But when you sit in those feelings and go, “These things are not going to kill me,” it’s like actually, I am capable of joy and happiness all by myself.’

She continued, ‘Being in a relationship doesn’t define me. I can’t be looking for happiness in other people. I have to have happiness within myself.’

‘I used to say I’m a happy person, but was still looking for something for somebody else to fill, and it’s just like, “No, I’m actually good.”‘

Jennifer has been moving on following the divorce, and recently took to the stage to perform at the Elie Saab anniversary fashion show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Wednesday. 

While belting out lyrics to hits, the songstress flaunted her toned figure wearing a fitted, shimmering bodysuit that had a plunging neckline on the front. 

She layered the outfit with a long, fuzzy cape and slipped into a pair of sparkling, heeled ankle boots that contained a gold tip at the front.
