Jennifer Lopez was spotted still wearing Ben Affleck’s wedding rings, even though she hasn’t been photographed with her husband since June 3.
Her longtime talent manager Benny Medina and her vocal coach Stevie Mackey were by her side during a Friday afternoon outing in Bridgehampton, New York.
The 54-year-old This Is Me… Now singer showed off her nude bra because her white shirt wasn’t tight enough.
The Atlas actress, who turns 55 on July 24, wore pants, flip-flops, a hat, hoop earrings and a small Dior handbag.
Meanwhile, Affleck is in Los Angeles with the three children he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, Fin and Samuel. He was also spotted heading out to lunch on Friday.
There are still rumors that the two want to divorce, but no one has made a statement yet.

Jennifer looked beautifully made up with plum-colored lipstick as she led the way through the streets of Bridgehampton.
Her clothes were loose, hiding her slim and muscular body. She kept her head down and was seen unsmiling as she donned a pair of blue-tinted sunglasses.
The Bronx diva was shopping with her friends on the busy street lined with small boutiques, including the luxury designer clothing store Blue One.
There are also several restaurants, such as Almond, Jean-Georges at Topping Rose House and Bobby Van’s Steakhouse.
Benny and Stevie, both of whom sported noticeably groomed beards and wore designer clothes, have been her constant companions in recent months.
She’s been in the Hamptons for a few days now and was spotted buying plants and taking cute photos by a fence with her guy friends.
Lopez is a frequent visitor to the Hamptons as she owns a sprawling estate in Water Mill, which she purchased for $10 million more than a decade ago.
She’s spent time there with her twins Max and Emme, as well as several of her exes, including Marc Anthony, Alex Rodriguez and even her now-estranged husband Affleck.
The find comes after Jennifer and Ben put their Bel-Air, California mansion up for sale for $65 million, more than $4 million more than the price they paid for it.

Ben has already moved into a $100,000-a-month rental closer to Garner’s house.
There are also reports that Ben has picked up the last of his belongings and that Jennifer is selling some of their artwork.
A source told DailyMail.com a few weeks ago that Lopez is “done” with trying to make her marriage to Affleck work.
An industry insider claims the pop star has lost her mind and no longer believes there is anything she can do to save the relationship.
‘Jenny has had enough and she has really tried but she can’t do it anymore. It’s not getting better, it’s worse,’ a music industry source told DailyMail.com.
According to an insider, the main reason J.Lo, 54, left her 51-year-old husband was because he was always “grumpy and negative,” just like Oscar The Grouch from Sesame Street.
Jennifer is sad about the end of her marriage, but “is trying to make the best of it by exercising, spending time with her twins Max and Emme and making new plans for 2025,” the two said.
One of those new plans is to resume her This Is Me… Live tour in the summer of 2025, when she turns 56. She canceled the 2024 tour, which was set to begin in July, to “regroup.”
“She’s excited to be on tour next year when her personal life is more settled and she can connect with her fans. She’s going to bring her tribe and make the most of it,” the source said.

Lopez also says she’s “shocked” by the bad press she’s getting, and she doesn’t think it’s fair.
“If people could see what she really went through, they would be more gentle with her,” the source said.
“Ben is a great guy, but he can be moody and downer. I think the world saw that in pictures like when they were at the Grammys last year; he wouldn’t smile. If they saw it for real, they wouldn’t attack her,” Jennifer’s friend said.
“He chain-smokes and curses and seems irritated a lot. Great director and actor, but not much to laugh about, you know?” the source said. “He’s a great dad, though.”
Lopez plans to push through.
“She’s not used to this kind of bad feedback, but she’ll get over it. She’ll keep going,” the buddy said. “Jennifer is a very smart and strong woman and she’ll bounce back, she always does!”
Nowadays she relies on her best friends.
One is stylist Shawn Barton, whose nickname is Beezy. Another is vocal coach Mackey.

She has Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
And Ben has Violet, Seraphina and Samuel with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
As for how Jennifer and Ben interact these days, the insider said they’re “friendly” with each other.
What happened to the once cheerful Ben, who used to smile at fans and kiss Jennifer in public?
The source points to the pressure on Ben’s career.
“He’s filming Accounting 2 right now and the hours are really long, he’s working hard on it and it’s a lot to juggle with his marriage and kids,” the source said. “So sometimes he’s not in the best mood.”

In the meantime, Lopez has cleared her schedule this summer, giving her some time to reexamine her life.
“She lives alone and not with Ben, I think everyone knows that already, so it’s a big change for her and the kids,” the friend said.
“Of course Jenny is sad, she loves Ben, but they are just too different. There is no give and take, there is no mingling, they are just on their own turf.”
The source added that Jennifer did everything she could: ‘She really tried her best to make it work, but it just wasn’t working.
“She put a lot of time and effort into it, and I think he did the same. There’s no one to blame here. It just wasn’t meant to be. It’s very difficult for two big stars to keep a marriage going, one of them has to give in, and in this case neither of them gave in.”
Instead of crying at home, Jennifer makes plans for a better life.
“She’s looking at scripts and coming up with 2025. After the success of Atlas, she’s getting a ton of calls for movies, everyone wants to work with her. She’s excited to still be on the A-list in her 50s!”
