Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck on August 20, 2024, a little over two years after their marriage, which followed a rekindled romance.
In her filing, Lopez indicated that the couple had been separated since April 2024, as per E! News.
This family outing comes just a week after Lopez attended the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival's premiere of 'Unstoppable' alone.
