Jennifer’s appearance at the Paris show followed a relaxing vacation with friends in Positano, Italy, on June 21. She was radiant in a white swimsuit and sunglasses, enjoying the sun and snapping selfies with friends.

Earlier that week, she was photographed on a boat in a bandeau top and multicolored shorts, accessorizing with gold sandals and her signature Dior bag.

Ben Affleck, her husband, stayed in Los Angeles for work commitments, filming “The Accountant 2”. Their separate activities sparked rumors of divorce in May.

During a press tour on May 22 for her Netflix movie, “Atlas,” Lopez handled a reporter’s question about the rumor with the help of co-star Simu Liu. Liu intervened, saying, “We’re not doing that. Thank you,” and Lopez smiled before addressing the matter.

This wasn’t the first instance where Lopez’s demeanor caught attention. At the Met Gala on May 6, her seemingly dismissive reaction toward another guest was criticized as “rude.”

“I think there’s some truth to that. I’m incredibly impatient. I get annoyed with a slow pace. I don’t like the word ‘no.’” Lopez stated, revealing her strong-willed nature.
