Jennifer Lopez is showing off her youthful complexion.
On Saturday, the 52-year-old powerhouse left fans agog as she shared snaps of herself getting her makeup done looking strikingly young.
The sighting comes as her beau Ben Affleck‘s dating history came back to haunt him this week, after Selling Sunset‘s Emma Hernan revealed they matched in 2019 on celebrity dating app Raya.
What drama? Jennifer Lopez shows off her VERY youthful looking appearance after beau Ben Affleck is forced to clarify he’s no longer on Raya
While Jen made no mention of the mild drama on Saturday, she did share a series of new shots – including a video of her enjoying a lollipop.
A rep for Affleck was forced to clarify that the actor had not been on Raya for at least two years ahead of his rekindling with his now-fiancée Lopez, last April, after the 30-year-old spoke about their flirty online correspondence on the fifth episode of her hit Netflix reality series’ fifth season.
‘Raya has confirmed that he has not been an active member for several years,’ the 49-year-old Gone Girl’s rep confirmed to People.

What could have been: Hernan, 30, claimed she connected with Affleck, 49, on the elite dating app before he rekindled with fiancee Jennifer Lopez, 52, in April 2021; Seen on April 16, 2022
Hernan claimed she connected with the Deep Water actor on the app during a conversation with costar Chrishell Stause.
The real estate agent alleged the two-time Oscar winner asked her ‘to grab … coffee a few times.’
‘He may or may not have been texting me,’ she said coyly, before revealing he used a ‘very sweet’ ‘opening pickup line’ to get her attention.

The reality star, who made it clear their messages happened ‘right before’ he reconnected with Lopez gushed: ‘We have the Boston connection.’
The women initially began talking about the producer after Stause mentioned he went ‘viral because he sent’ something to another woman on the app, which has been dubbed as ‘celebrity Tinder.’
They were referring to a TikTok, made by actress Nivine Jay, who shared a video of herself recalling the time she unmatched with Affleck because she thought his profile was fake last May.

‘Thinking of the time I matched with Ben Affleck on Raya and thought it was fake so I unmatched him and he send me a video on Instagram,’ Jay captioned the video of her looking upset.
Footage then panned to a recording the father-of-three sent her, in which he said: ‘Nivine, why did you unmatch me? It’s me!’
Raya is often described as the celebrity version of Tinder, as the dating app requires a membership and a vetting process, which is enticing to big movie stars like Affleck.
The app – which launched in 2015 – describes itself as being ‘an exclusive dating and networking platform for people in creative industries.’

Jay, the woman who posted the video of Affleck, later clarified that she didn’t believe Affleck was being a ‘creep’ when he reached out to her on Instagram after she unmatched the star on Raya, thinking he was an imposter.
‘I’m seeing a lot of comments calling him a creep and l don’t think that’s fair. l wasn’t making fun of him in the video,’ Jay claimed to E! News in an interview. ‘l was making fun of myself for thinking he was a catfish and it was just supposed to be funny.’
The video sparked a feverish response from his fans, while helping to launch her to five minutes of stardom, as she became the subject of much speculation in the hours after she posted her TikTok video.
Affleck has since become engaged to Lopez for the second time, nearly 18 years after they called off their first wedding.

Membership in Raya costs $7.99 per month, but to join you must be referred by an existing member, and then their application is voted on by a ‘membership committee’.
The acceptance rate for Raya membership applications is approximately eight percent. In addition to subscription fees, the company also charges for sponsored placement of user requests.
In 2021, Drew Barrymore revealed she saw ‘a lot’ of other celebrities on the app, saying: ‘It was like looking through an Us Weekly.’
Drew, 46, even revealed how she ‘got stood up by a guy who owned a restaurant’ admitting that she ‘did terribly’ on the app.
Other stars rumored to have used the service include Moby, Lily Allen, Cara Delevingne, Raven-Symoné, Tommy Lee, Chelsea Handler and Whitney Cummings.
Raya: The VERY exclusive dating app which approves only 8% of applications
Raya is often described as the celebrity version of Tinder, as the dating app requires a membership and a vetting process, which is enticing to big movie stars.
The app – which launched in 2015 by Mike McGuiness, who at the time was a partner at Los Angeles PR company the Co-Op Agency – describes itself as being ‘an exclusive dating and networking platform for people in creative industries.’
Users must be referred by an existing member and their application will then be voted on by a membership committee.
Only about 8% of applicants are reportedly approved.
In addition to subscription fees of $9.99 a month, the company also charges for sponsored placement of user requests.
Little is known about Raya, but in late 2016 it acquired video messaging startup Chime led by Jared Morgenstern, who was part of Facebook in the early days.
Morgenstern, who was Raya’s first investor, told TechCrunch: ‘Raya is a utility for introducing you to people who can change your life. Soho House uses physical space, we’re trying to use software.’
Other stars rumored to have used the service include Moby, Lily Allen, Cara Delevingne, Raven-Symoné, Tommy Lee, Whitney Cummings and Chelsea Handler.
