Jennifer Lopez is business chic in a gray dress and chunky shades for lunch in LA – as husband Ben Affleck’s ex Jennifer Garner is said to ‘want the best’ for them

Jennifer Lopez cut a smart figure in a gray A-line dress as she stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The 54-year-old multihyphenate — who spent Memorial Day without husband Ben Affleck, 51 — was effortlessly chic as she teamed the short-sleeved look with oversize black sunglasses as she arrived at the Mondrian Hotel for lunch.

The glasses featured gold hardware accents and were square-shaped.

Lopez complemented the business-ready ensemble with huge diamond stud earrings and a coordinating necklace with a round pendant.

Her outing comes as People reports that Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner ‘wants the best’ for him and JLo, who have been dodging split rumors in recent weeks after less than two years of marriage.

Lopez flaunted a full face of makeup underneath her stylish sunglasses.

Her honey-blonde highlighted locks were swept off her face and pulled into a neat bun set at the midpoint of her head.

She rounded out her sleek outfit with a pair of black high heels with reflective platforms.

A source shared with People magazine that Garner, 52, wants Affleck to be ‘happy and healthy so he can be the best dad possible.’

She and the Boston-bred filmmaker share Violet, 18; Fin, 15; and Samuel, 12.

The insider added that the former Alias actress ‘likes that [Lopez] lives a healthy lifestyle and supports Ben’s sobriety. Jen wants that for Ben.’

It’s been claimed that Affleck and Lopez have clashed over their views on public attention, after she aired out intimate details of their rekindled romance in her Prime Video documentary that was released in April.

Reports of Affleck and Lopez’s marital woes began circulating in May after the pair weren’t seen together since late March.
