Jennifer Lopez celebrated another big night in her career in the most jubilant, romantic of ways: Lopez and her husband Ben Affleck attended—and kissed on the red carpet—at The Mother’s Los Angeles premiere. Lopez looked particularly phenomenal in a custom creamy Brunello Cucinelli bralette, long skirt, and floor-length blazer. She accessorized with Fernando Jorge jewelry and a Tyler Ellis bag.
Her toned core was on display—along with her and Affleck’s love for each other. The couple was not shy about being affectionate in front of photographers.
Lopez spent last week in New York City, while Affleck remained out west. The couple didn’t attend the Met Gala together this year, only because Affleck reportedly had business commitments in Los Angeles.
Lopez still had plenty to say about Affleck while doing press in New York for The Mother. She gushed about his parenting skills in particular and how her 15-year-old twins Emme and Max see him.
“Well, he’s a wonderful, wonderful father,” Lopez told Hoda Kotb on the Today show on May 3, via People. “And a father figure to [Max and Emme] as well, because he has his own three beautiful children [Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner], and then there’s us.”
“He’s fantastic. He really steps up to the challenge of what that is and what that means,” she added. “And they love him. They love him. And they appreciate him, and so do I.”
