Jennifer Lopez continued to be a devoted stepmother to Ben Affleck’s son Samuel as the pair enjoyed a luxurious shopping trip together over the weekend on Saturday.
The 56-year-old songstress – who recently gave fans a rare glimpse at her $18 million mansion – stopped by Balenciaga in Beverly Hills with Samuel, 13, for the lowkey excursion.
Lopez was previously married to Affleck from 2022 until their divorce was finalized earlier this year in January. Upon tying the knot, the performer had become stepmom to his kids Samuel, Fin, 16, and Violet, 19 – whom he shares with ex Jennifer Garner.
Despite their split, it appears that Lopez – who is also mom to twins Emme and Max, 17 – still maintains a close bond with Affleck’s children.
The actress showed off her sculpted midriff for the daytime outing wearing a long-sleeved, white cropped top as well as a pair of low-waisted black trousers.
She also carried a Dior tote bag in her hand and slipped into a pair of nude-colored heels.

Her long locks were parted in the middle and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in light waves.
Lopez accessorized the outfit with a gold-chained necklace as well as flashy gold rings and fashionable shades.
The Wedding Planner actress and Samuel were seen strolling through an indoor shopping area before stopping by one of the luxurious stores.
The pair later made their way to an awaiting vehicle as the 13-year-old held a large Balenciaga bag in his hand.
Earlier this year in April, Affleck opened up about his ex wife’s ongoing relationship with his kids following their split.
During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the actor said, ‘For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them.’
Affleck also had sweet words for Lopez’s twins and further expressed, ‘I love her kids. They are wonderful. She is enormously important, [a] tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to.’
Back in 2023, Lopez previously opened up about having a blended family and the ’emotional transition’ of bringing everyone together.

During an interview with Today, Lopez expressed at the time, ‘We moved in together, the kids moved in together. So it’s been, like, a really kind of emotional transition.
‘But at the same time, like, all your dreams coming true and it’s just been a phenomenal year. Like, my best year, I think, since my kids were born.’
And while talking to Vogue in 2022, the On The Floor songstress explained that transitioning into a blended family ‘is a process that needs to be handled with so much care.’
‘But it’s going really well so far. What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his kids have a new ally in me and my kids have a new ally in him,’ she continued, referencing to Affleck.
‘Someone who really loves and cares about them but can have a different perspective and help me see things that I can’t see with my kids because I’m so emotionally tied up.’
Lopez settled her divorce from Affleck earlier this year in January – after she had filed in August 2024 on their second wedding anniversary.
And earlier this week on Friday, the Gone Girl actor was seen spending time with ex wife Jennifer Garner as well as their kids Fin and Samuel for a rare family outing in L.A.
The proud parents joked and laughed as they walked toward the entrance of a movie theater with two of their children where Affleck’s mother was also waiting for them.
