Jennifer Lopez wows in backless dress after dodging Ben Affleck run-in

Jennifer Lopez leaned fully into summer style on Sunday, stepping out in West Hollywood in a breezy backless dress that turned a casual lunch outing into a fashion moment.

The “Let’s Get Loud” singer, 57, was photographed leaving a bungalow after dining with her longtime manager, Benny Medina.

For the afternoon appearance, Lopez chose a crisp white maxi dress featuring a plunging neckline and an open-back design.

She styled the look with brown platform heels and a Christian Louboutin Greekaba bag, a designer accessory that can fetch as much as $3,000 on the resale market.

Her hair was swept into a polished ponytail, while oversized sunglasses added a glamorous finishing touch and helped shield her from the California sun.

The outing followed a potentially tense moment earlier in the week, when Lopez appeared to sidestep an encounter with ex-husband Ben Affleck, 54, on Thursday — a date that would have marked their fourth wedding anniversary.

Lopez had been seen arriving at a building where both she and Affleck maintain offices, as what appeared to be the actor’s plum-colored $360,000 Cadillac Celestiq sat parked in the garage.

The singer flashed the flesh in a nearly backless white halter top and beige pants, elevating her look with a black Dior handbag as she stepped inside the building. 

Meanwhile, a stony-faced Affleck was later pictured driving away from the building in a striped button-down shirt. 

It’s unclear if the pair – formerly known as Bennifer – saw each other inside the office building. 

The superstar duo famously tied the knot in a breathtaking wedding ceremony at his $8.9 million Georgia mansion on August 20, 2022, just a month after they secretly said ‘I do’ in a small Las Vegas elopement.

The two weddings came decades after the pair – who first met while filming the 2003 romantic-comedy Gigli in December 2001 – originally dated in 2002 before calling off their engagement in 2004. 

But despite rekindling their love, the fairytale came to an end once again when Lopez filed for divorce in 2024. 

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Lopez and Affleck for comment.

Should celebrities like Jennifer Lopez keep details of their relationships private or share with fans?

Last month Lopez seemingly hinted that her life is ‘better’ following her divorce from Affleck as she celebrated turning 57.

The songstress shared a glowing video of herself during a car ride to her Instagram page, as she rang in the special milestone.

‘When you keep going it just keeps getting better,’ her caption read.

That same month a source told The Daily Mail that Lopez ‘doesn’t want to have to see Ben all the time’ but the friendship between their children keeps them ‘connected.’ 

Lopez’s child Oskar, 18, and Affleck’s 17-year-old Fin are inseparable, forcing the famous exes to keep a line of communication despite their divorce, which was finalized in January 2025.

Lopez shares twins Oskar and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony, 57, who recently welcomed his eighth child with his fourth wife – model Nadia Ferreira, 27. He was married to the singer from 2004 until 2014.

Meanwhile Affleck shares his kids – Violet, 20, Samuel, 14, and Fin – with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 54. The two were married from 2005 until 2018.

Lopez’s and Affleck’s marital home – the sprawling $61 million mega mansion in Beverly Hills purchased in May 2023 – has proved to be another pain point for the star.

She and Affleck listed the property in July 2024 but have since made several price cuts, with it currently listed for $49.9 million. Hopes for it to be sold soon, however, were dashed last month when a potential buyer reportedly fell through.

In April, court documents suggested Affleck, who now lives in a $20 million bachelor pad in the Pacific Palisades, handed over his entire interest in their mansion to Lopez, who has settled into her $18 million mansion in Hidden Hills. 

Sources told TMZ the actor effectively ‘gave up’ his share of the compound ‘for free,’ leaving Lopez in line to take any profits from the sale.

In May, Lopez gave fans a glimpse at the bachelorette pad she bought in Hidden Hills, California following her divorce.

The Office Romance actress was seen in a skimpy white bikini in the backyard of the two-story white house as she took a dip in the swimming pool. 

Lopez purchased the 8,600-square-foot equestrian estate in Hidden Hills in February 2025.

The New England inspired house is situated on 2.5 acres and is fully gated for privacy with mature trees lining the backyard so no one can see in.

The main house has five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a gourmet chef’s kitchen and a custom home theater.

There is also a guest house, a pool house, a swimming pool with attached hot tub and full equestrian facilities with a five-stall barn, a tack room, and a private riding arena.
