Amidst the ongoing speculation surrounding Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage, the singer found solace in music at Bruno Mars’ concert in Inglewood, Calif., on Thursday night. Letting loose and leaving it all “on the floor,” Lopez was captured in a social media video dancing and singing along to Mars’ hit song “Marry Me,” which seemed to resonate with her current situation.
Lopez, 55, enthusiastically threw her arms in the air and flipped her hair while Mars sang the lyrics, “It’s a beautiful night, we’re looking for something dumb to do / Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you.” It was evident that the “Let’s Get Loud” singer was fully immersed in the moment, even joining the rest of the crowd in singing, “I think I wanna marry you.”
For the concert, Lopez opted for a casual look, wearing a simple white cropped top paired with blue pants. She pulled her hair back into a loose ponytail and accessorized with oversized glasses, stacked bracelets, and hoop earrings. Prior to the show, she was photographed in the VIP area, enjoying a light-hearted conversation with Ashton Kutcher.
The timing of Lopez’s attendance at the concert is worth noting as well. Just hours before rocking out to Mars, she had visited Ben Affleck’s rental home in Brentwood, Calif., on his 52nd birthday. However, it’s unclear who Lopez attended the concert with, as she didn’t share any social media posts about Affleck’s birthday. Instead, she chose to share a solo photo of herself posing in a sheer gown.
This isn’t the first time Lopez has celebrated a milestone without publicly acknowledging Affleck. When she recently celebrated her own birthday, she spent it in the Hamptons with friends, excluding Affleck from the festivities. These actions, coupled with Affleck’s absence at the Met Gala and his subsequent move out of their $68 million mansion into a rental home, have fueled divorce rumors surrounding the couple. In fact, they have listed their mansion for sale, further indicating a potential split.
While Lopez has been seen house-hunting in Los Angeles since then, a source close to the situation revealed that Affleck is hesitant to file for divorce. The source explained that Lopez is still holding onto hope and finding it difficult to accept that their relationship is over. As a romantic at heart, she had envisioned blending their families, considering they both have children from previous marriages. Lopez shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares Violet, 18, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 12, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
The rollercoaster of emotions and uncertainty surrounding Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s relationship continues to capture public attention. As fans and onlookers speculate about the future of their marriage, Lopez seeks solace in music, dancing, and the support of her friends. Only time will tell how this high-profile relationship unfolds and whether it can weather the storm.
