Jennifer Lopez, the global superstar famed for her show-stopping red carpet ensembles, chose comfort over couture this festive season, sharing heartwarming family moments in matching pyjamas.
A Cosy Family Affair
The 56-year-old singer and actress posted a gallery of images on Wednesday morning, offering a rare glimpse into her private holiday celebrations. Lopez and her family, including her 54-year-old sister Lynda and her 17-year-old daughter Emme Maribel, were all dressed in identical red and white striped pyjamas. The collection featured snaps of Lopez posing by the Christmas tree and a group selfie taken by her sister, capturing the family smiling together in their cosy, coordinated outfits.
The star captioned the festive post for her 246 million followers: 'Twas the night...', accompanied by festive emojis.
Post-Divorce Harmony with Ben Affleck
This intimate family moment came just days after Lopez enjoyed a surprise reunion with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck. Over the past weekend, the 53-year-old Oscar winner and his 13-year-old son, Samuel, met Lopez for shopping and a meal at Brentwood Country Mart in Los Angeles.
An insider told People magazine that the outing was cordial and focused on the teenager. "They met up and went shopping together. Jen and Ben seemed fine. The focus was mostly on Sam," the source revealed, adding that Samuel was talkative while picking out presents. Lopez was reportedly attentive, asking questions and purchasing gifts for Affleck's other children before the pair went their separate ways.
This follows their divorce settlement in January 2025, which came five months after Lopez officially filed in August 2024.
Maintaining a Supportive Bond
Despite the end of their marriage, Lopez and Affleck have consistently shown mutual support, particularly when it comes to family. Lopez has maintained a positive relationship with Affleck's three children from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner: Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13. Similarly, Affleck has spoken warmly of Lopez's twins, Max and Emme, 17, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Affleck publicly praised Lopez's performance in their film Kiss Of The Spider Woman at its October premiere in New York, calling her "incredible" and "spectacular." He later told Entertainment Tonight, "For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular. Great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them... She's [an] enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to."
A source close to the pair confirmed to People that while there is "no romantic union," they are "in a really good place" and "continue to support each other."
