Jennifer Lopez looked footloose and fancy free when on the East Coast on Sunday.
The Atlas actress โ who will turn 55-years-old in nine days โ was spotted smiling as she rode a bicycle near her mansion in the Hamptons on Long Island in New York.
The brunette beauty had on a pink and white top with white shorts and flip flops.
And the This Is Meโฆ Now star added Barbie pink sunglasses from Gucci and large silver hoop earrings as she looked very stylish.
Her wedding rings from estranged husband Ben Affleck were in place.ย
The 54-year-old movie star has been in the Hamptons for the past week with her manager Benny Medina.ย
She has also been seen with Benโs daughter Violet Affleck, whom the actor shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Lopez has not been pictured with Affleck in 43 days; that was when they attended his son Samuelโs basketball game in Los Angeles.
Ben has three children, Violet, 18, Finn, 15, and Samuel, 12, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. JLo, on the other hand, shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.ย
Meanwhile, Ben was seen in his office parking lot in Los Angeles on Monday.
The Argo writer and actor was dressed up in a dark suit with a crisp white shirt with no tie as he looked ready for a board meeting.ย
The ex of Gwyneth Paltrow held onto an iced coffee as he carried a black duffle bag.ย ย
This comes after DailyMail.com has learned that the combined five children have been working behind the scenes to get Jennifer and Ben โback together,โ said a source.ย
โThe kids think Jennifer and Ben are really, deeply in love, like soul mates and they donโt want them to divorce,โ said the insider.
โThey want them to work it out for better or for worse, like their vows said. And they do feel that the two should continue counseling and talking it out, even if it is painful.
โThey feel like if they do and say the right things that there could be more peace.โ
The kids want Ben and Jennifer to get back together before her 55th birthday, which falls on July 24, added the insider.
โThere is hope they could all celebrate together for a mellow family party in Los Angeles,โ added the source.
So what are they doing exactly to help the movie stars to get back to peace? โThey highlight the positive attributes each have.โ
And the insider said there is a general feeling like Ben could lighten up.
โHe is a prickly one, he can be grumpy, that is true for sure, he is not a happy go lucky kind of dude, even if he is very intelligent and funny. The kids are trying to get him to lighten up and let stuff go,โ added the insider.
Turns out Lopez has her flaws too: โShe needs to work less and relax more.
โThe twinsโ dad Marc Anthony has always said that: Jenny needs to relax and enjoy her life more, he told her for years and years to do this.
โNow Max and Emme are doing the same,โ the source added.
The kids have another motive: they all like each other and want to stay family.
โThe kids get along great, especially Emme and Fin, they are best friends and talk every day,โ said the insider.
โThey tell Ben and Jenny, hey donโt give up, donโt lose this.โ
The family has not been all together in one room since June when Samuel graduated from school.
The source added that there was supposed to be a divorce announcement on the 4th of July weekend but it never came. And that is why they are both still wearing their wedding rings.
โThere might be a delay or plans to split for good may be called off, no one is really sure now, not even her close friends really know,โ said a pal.
โEveryone has been waiting for the bombshell news they have lawyered up and are ready to split but it has not come,โ said the source.
As far as how Benโs ex-wife Garner feels, she is up for whatever is best for the kids.
โShe is a supermom and always put the kids first so if the kids want Ben and Jennifer to get back together, she is on board with that,โ said another source.
Meanwhile, Us Weekly claimed on Wednesday that there is a โsliver of hopeโ that Ben and Jennifer could get back together.
โJennifer suggested they just take time to figure it out,โ the source said.
It was also added that Bennifer 2.0 โstill havenโt made a decisionโ regarding splitting.
โThey are going through so much individually and as a couple,โ another source told Us. โThey may take some time to see if this complicated moment can resolve itself and they come back to each other [as] better people.โ
This comes after news the Batman actor, 51, and the Maid in Manhattan star, 54, decided to put the Beverly Hills mansion on the public market for $68M โvery recentlyโ and are hoping for a buyer asap, a source told UsWeekly on Saturday.
โThey thought they could sell it off-market but made a game-time decision in order to put more eyes on the property,โ the insider explained.
โThey are in a rush to sell it. Ben especially wants to be done with the house. He was never happy there.โ
The source said the couple โnever felt settledโ in the massive 38,000 square foot property, which features 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
โThey rarely have all the kids there at once, so it felt huge for the two of them,โ they continued.ย
The insider added, โNothing has been decided yet as far as the divorce, but selling the house is the first step.โ
Benniferโs listing is being held by Santiago Arana of The Agency โ the real estate brokerage owned by reality TV star Mauricio Umansky.
The home is now listed as โfor saleโ on Zillow at the reported $68million price point.
Jennifer and Ben have reportedly been living apart for โmonthsโ amid speculation that theyโre headed for divorce.
Ben โ who is still wearing his wedding ring โ has been residing in a $100,000-per-month rental home near his ex-wife Garner, 52.
He was reportedly seen moving his belongings out of the Beverly Hills house that he once shared with Lopez in late June, as per PEOPLE.
โBen continues to live at the Brentwood rental. Heโs been there for about two months now,โ a source told the outlet at the time.
โHe seems okay. Heโs been at his office every day and seems focused on work. Heโs also spending time with his kids.โย
Neither Jen nor Ben wanted to keep their marital dwelling for different reasons: she felt it was too big and he thought it was too far from his kids.
A source previously dished to PEOPLE: โBen never liked the house. Itโs too far away from his kids.โ
Meanwhile, Lopez feels the 12-bedroom house is simply โway too big for her.โ
Jennifer and Ben bought the mansion and paid for it with cash after a two-year-search for their dream home in what was supposedly a fairytale ending to their decadeโs long love story.
But the couple have been leading separate lives for the last few months after tying the knot at Benโs Georgia estate on August 21, 2022.
