Hollywood star Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from 52-year-old actor Ben Affleck in August. As a result, she spent Christmas without him. The singer and actress headed to a ski resort in Aspen with her family and close friends. The family rented a spacious house, which Jennifer and her relatives decorated with garlands, pine branches, and ornaments. They set up a large, sparkling Christmas tree, with gifts neatly wrapped and placed underneath.
Lopez appeared in a cozy, casual home outfit—camel-colored sweatpants and a white T-shirt. She shared photos surrounded by her mother, Guadalupe Rodríguez, and her 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max, from her marriage to singer and actor Marc Anthony.
The “Let’s Get Loud” performer relaxed on a sofa by the glowing fireplace. On the table, there was a bottle of alcohol and a white ceramic teapot with a blue design, alongside tea. The images were set to Bing Crosby’s “Winter Wonderland,” a classic hit from 1962. Although JLo smiled in the photos, many fans noted that her eyes seemed sad. “Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones,” she wrote briefly.
The day before Christmas, JLo and Ben Affleck, who are not yet officially divorced but are still legally married, met with their children at an upscale Los Angeles club and exchanged gifts. Sources close to the couple revealed that they plan to maintain a relationship after the divorce for the sake of their children, who have grown accustomed to their large blended family.
Ben, a two-time Oscar winner, has three children from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner: 19-year-old Violet, 15-year-old Seraphina, and 12-year-old Samuel. An insider from Ben’s circle shared that he spent Christmas with his children at his ex-wife’s home in California.
Jennifer Lopez was spotted out for a walk in Aspen when she and her family went to dine at the White House Tavern, a celebrity-favorite restaurant in the Colorado resort. She wore a cozy knit sweater with a graphic print and black, form-fitting pants. To protect herself from the chilly weather, she wore a parka with shearling lining and a fur-trimmed hood, as well as fur-lined Ugg boots. Her outfit was completed with a black quilted Dior handbag. The Hustlers star sported flawless makeup and wore her hair down.
