Jennifer Lopez and her child Emme visit the studio... after ex Ben Affleck invited her kids to his premiere
Jennifer Lopez turned her work into a family affair when she invited her child Emme to a dance studio in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The 55-year-old singer and actor looked ready to work up a sweat in a sporty ensemble, while Emme favored a casual–cool look that suggested they weren't joining their mother's dance practice.
The mother–child bonding moment comes after J.Lo's ex-husband Ben Affleck showed that he was still a part of her children's lives when Emme and their twin brother Max, 17, attended the premiere of his thriller The Accountant 2.
Jennifer opted for a baggier-than-usual outfit on Wednesday, including an oversize gray zip-up hoodie that was cropped to show off a hint of her rock-hard abs.
She wore a black sports bra underneath that highlighted her cleavage, and she matched it with a slim set of black leggings.
The Hustlers star wore her long caramel-colored hair parted down the middle and cascading down her shoulders so that it perfectly framed her large aviator sunglasses.
She completed the workout-ready look with white trainers and mid-calf socks, and she accessorized with a large black handbag.
Emme favored a white tank top with a long gray–green gingham button-up shirt worn open, along with baggy denim cargo shorts, a brown belt and classic black Converse high-top sneakers.
The nepo baby — who uses they/them pronouns — wore stylish eyeglasses and listened to something on earbuds as they headed into the studio.
Fans of Jennifer and her ex-husband Ben Affleck were shocked in April when the Oscar winner revealed that Emme and their brother were attending the premiere of his film The Accountant 2, despite his bitter divorce from their mother.
Ben revealed the reunion while speaking with Entertainment Tonight, and he also took the opportunity to speak warmly of his ex.
'For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them,' the star explained.
'I love her kids. They're wonderful. She's [an] enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to,' he added.
Ben noted that Max and Emme were in the audience with the three children he shares with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 19; Fin, 16; and Samuel, 13.

'It's a great night. The kids are here, Jen's kids are here. I 'm very, very excited,' Affleck gushed. 'I'm proud of the movie, I love the movie and I love when all the kids come out. It's really fun, it's exciting.'
He continued, 'I'm thrilled that the kids are here with me. The relationships that you can have with children like that, it's the joy of my life. And those kids are amazing, and I'm glad that this is a movie they want to come to.'
Despite apparently attending, all of Ben and Jennifer's children appear to skip the red carpet.
Although Ben spoke warmly of his former stepchildren, the remains of his relationship with Jennifer appear to be tenser, and he is reportedly going to humiliating extremes to sever their final ties.
The former couple finalized their divorce in early January of this year, but but they are still connected through ownership of the Beverly Hills mega mansion that they bought in May 2023 for an eye-popping $60.8 million in cash.
Since going public with their separation, the two put the 38,000 square-foot home on the market for an even pricier $68 million.
Last month, it was reported that Ben and Jennifer had slashed the asking price by more than $8 million to $59.95 million, almost $1 million less than what they initially paid.
An insider exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com the extent that Ben is willing to go to push along a sale so that he can put his disastrous and short-lived marriage to the actress and singer out of mind.
Ben and Jennifer were married in July 2023, nearly two decades after calling off their first engagement. The actress filed for divorce two years later and they settled in January 2025; seen in 2021 in Venice
Lopez and Affleck tied the knot in July 2022, nearly two decades after their first relationship and engagement.
But their puppy love soon soured, and J.Lo filed for divorced just two years later.
She cited irreconcilable differences as the cause for their split, which she dated to April 26, 2024.
The two finalized their divorce in January of this year.
Last month, Jennifer was lambasted by fans for her lesbian kiss at the American Music Awards.
The hitmaker — who hosted the show and shared kisses with both male and female dancers during an opening medley of her songs and the evening's nominated tunes — was branded 'desperate' by fans due to the bizarre kiss.
But an inside source exclusively told DailyMail.com that the kiss was all part of a coordinated strategy for Lopez.
'J.Lo followed the direction of her PR and she did exactly what she was told to do for her post-Ben [Affleck] comeback,' the source said.
'She is living her best life and has zero f***s to give right now,' they continued.
'She dealt with so much uncertainty, but she was brave. She did not allow the negative commentary to bring her down. Instead, she kept going and living her life.'
Despite Jennifer's best attempts to put on a good show and also spice up the AMAs, viewers were largely disappointed in the ceremony.
One common criticism was that there was a dearth of major stars in attendance.
The show was also criticized for airing few categories live, which may have been due to many of the nominees and winners not bothering to show up to the ceremony, which was held in Las Vegas.
The event was savaged on social media, with several

Meghan teases ‘delicious surprises' as she restocks lifestyle brand
The Duchess of Sussex has promised some 'delicious surprises' as she announced a restock of items from her lifestyle brand after some products sold out within an hour. Meghan said the April launch of her As Ever products, including jam and herbal tea, had been 'absolutely extraordinary' and teased buyers they would only have to wait a few days for more items. In an Instagram post, the California-based duchess wrote: 'Oh yes, honey… sweet things await. Mark your calendars for June 20 at 8 a.m. PT – we're bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won't want to miss!' In a newsletter, she also wrote: 'First off, a sincere thank you for making the debut of As Ever absolutely extraordinary. 'We had a feeling there would be excitement, but to see everything sell out in less than an hour was an amazing surprise. 'We are pleased to share that on June 20th, we're going live with the products you love – plus, some new delicious surprises.' Earlier this month Meghan said she had decided to 'just pause' restocking her brand, saying she wanted to wait until it is 'completely stable and we have everything we need'. She also spoke of the difficulties of building her firm and 'how many tears' she has shed behind the scenes on a bonus episode of her podcast featuring Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles. Meghan had suggested the 'scarcity mentality at the beginning might be a hook for people', comparing it to 'a sneaker drop'. But she feared it might be 'annoying' for customers, adding: 'I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time.' Meghan said: 'So for me at the moment, with As Ever, it was great. We planned for a year we get and then everything sells out in 45 minutes. 'Yes, amazing, great news. Then what do you do? And then you say 'Ok, we planned as best as we could. Are we going to replenish and sell out again in an hour? Or is that annoying as a customer? 'I'm looking at it saying 'Just pause. That happened. Let's wait until we are completely stable and we have everything we need'.' She added how people 'see all the flashy stuff and they see the product. But that end game… those behind the scenes moments, how many tears I've shed'.

Explosive new Diddy mansion pics reveal star's shelves stacked with baby oil, a vast weapons arsenal & ketamine stash
BOMBSHELL new images from Sean "Diddy" Combs' mansion have been revealed - with shelves stacked with baby oil, shotguns sprawled around, and his ketamine stash unveiled. The disgraced music mogul, 55, is currently on trial in New York for sex-trafficking, and faces life behind bars if convicted. 10 10 10 He's pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution, as prosecutors alleged his business empire was also a criminal enterprise. The abundance of explosive pics were released by federal prosecutors as the trial was stalled due to the Juneteenth holiday. The bombshell items were seized by Homeland Security officials during the March 2024 raid at Combs' mansion in the neighborhood of Holmby Hills - a playground for the rich and famous. One chilling image shows baby oil neatly displayed across three shelves in one room of the sprawling property. Homeland Security Investigations agent Andre Lamon has testified that he found 900 bottles of lubricant Astroglide and 200 bottles of baby oil at Combs' home. Defense Attorney Marc Agnifilo said the disgraced star likes to "buy in bulk like any other American". Another image shows various weapons confiscated by agents, including deadly AR-15 style rifles and pump shotguns. Investigators also discovered bags of the drug ketamine that were photographed as evidence. Federal prosecutors have alleged that the Schedule III, or Class B substance was used in the infamous "freak-offs". Combs would put women through days-long "freak-off" sex parties while filming them, a court heard last month. Kanye shows up to Diddy's sex trafficking trial in blacked out Maybach after being spotted in NYC with wife Bianca A few weeks ago, Combs' ex-girlfriend testified about opening "Pandora's box" after she agreed to the music executive's proposal to engage in sex with strangers. The woman, who is being identified in court under the pseudonym Jane, recalled on the stand about falling "head over heels" for Combs after they first met in late 2020. She said that she did various drugs, including cocaine, ecstasy, molly, and ketamine, every time she saw Combs between February and May 2021. During the March 2024 raid, a hard drive was also seized, and the property's security system was turned off. Combs forked out almost $40 million on the 17,000 square-foot, 10-bedroom home back in September 2014. He put it on the market a decade later for $61.5 million. The property boasts outdoor features such as a swimming pool, and its lawns are neat. Inside, there is a 35-seat theater room, a wine cellar, a gym, as well as a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen. Its other features include a basketball court, spa room, and an outdoor loggia-style facility where barbecues can be hosted, per the Zillow listing. 10 10 10 10 10 There's also an underground swimming tunnel that is linked to a grotto. Meanwhile, even if Combs is found guilty, he could be pardoned by President Donald Trump. Trump surprised reporters by commenting on the court case during a news conference with Elon Musk and revealed he would consider whether or not he has been "mistreated." Asked if he would consider pardoning him, Trump said, "Nobody's asked. But I know people are thinking about it. I think some people have been very close to asking." He said he felt the former music mogul used to like him "a lot" but wasn't his biggest fan after he went into politics. Despite this, Trump said, "I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact on me." If you or someone you know is affected by any of the issues raised in this story, call RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network) at 800-656-HOPE (4673). Diddy locked eyes with us as he entered the courtroom - inside the trial of the decade By Israel S-Rodriguez, Senior News Reporter at The U.S. Sun The federal sex trafficking trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs began with jury selection on May 5. Combs is standing trial at the Southern District of New York Courthouse in Lower Manhattan - an intimidating federal courthouse where the cases of Ghislaine Maxwell, Donald Trump, and Bernard Madoff, among others, were tried. Once a powerful founder of a music and business empire, Combs has been reduced to a defendant, inmate 37452-054, stripped of his mogul status, and now standing trial on five federal charges with the full wrath of the United States government against him. When I attended Day 3 of jury selection at the federal courthouse on May 7, the buzz around the start of the trial was palpable. Hours before the courthouse opened its doors, more than a dozen reporters and members of the public stood in line in hopes of securing a seat in the gallery for the high-profile trial. As you walk through the glass door entrance of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse, you are met by bulletproof vest-clad court officers. All visitors must separate their electronic devices from their personal belongings, which are passed through a metal detector. Visitors walk through a metal detector before a court officer hands them a poker chip. The courthouse uses a poker chip system to sort the number of electronic devices visitors are in possession of. Electronic devices, such as Bluetooth-powered headphones, voice recorders, laptops, cellphones, and smart watches, are confiscated before you're allowed to enter the courthouse's main hallway. As about a half-dozen reporters and I waited in the gallery for jury selection, we witnessed how Combs entered the courtroom shackle-free. Combs entered with his hands pressed together, greeted his defense team before he examined the gallery, and locked eyes with reporters and potential jurors. The 55-year-old disgraced Bad Boy Records executive was attentive and engaged with his counsel as they grilled dozens of potential jurors. As jury selection wrapped up for the day, Combs embraced each of his female defense attorneys before he mouthed "thank you" to a handful of supporters in the gallery. I attended trial again as opening statements got underway on May 12 and the world media waited anxiously outside the federal courthouse before the sun rose in Lower Manhattan. A line stretched down the block from the federal courthouse as some members of the media and from the public camped out overnight to try to obtain a coveted seat inside the gallery. At least three overflow rooms were made available for reporters and the public, who are eager to witness the prosecutions case against the music mogul. At least half a dozen members of Combs' family arrived at the courthouse as spectators filed in single order to enter the federal building to turn over all their electronic devices. Combs' trial is being held on the 26th floor in Judge Arun Subramanian's courtroom and is expected to last for eight weeks. We'll bring it all to you on The U.S. Sun. 10

EXCLUSIVE Insider reveals truth of Hulk Hogan 'deathbed' rumor... and why the WWE icon now has the 'body of a 140-year-old'
Hulk Hogan has 'the body of a 140-year-old man' after his wrestling career, a source tells the Daily Mail. Earlier this week a Florida radio host sparked fears over Hogan's wellbeing when he inaccurately claimed the WWE icon was on his deathbed in a hospital. Radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge said live on air that a 'pretty damn reliable' source had told him Hogan - whose real name is Terry Bollea - was in such bad health that he 'might not make it' and his family had been called in to say their goodbyes. After TMZ Sports shut down that claim by alleging that he was only in the hospital to address lingering neck and back issues, US Weekly later reported that the 71-year-old recently underwent 'pretty serious' heart surgery. However, the Daily Mail understands he was not having treatment for any heart issues, and rumors that he is close to dying are bogus. Hogan - who was embroiled in a shocking family feud with his ex-wife Linda and estranged daughter Brooke earlier this year - is instead trying to work his way back to '100 percent' after neck and back operations. 'Hulk has a body ravaged by wrestling, his body is the body of a 140-year-old man with all the bumps and bruises through the years, and his recent neck and back surgeries have been harder to come back from,' a source close to Hogan said. 'But the rumors of heart issues is not a thing, and talk of him dying is farfetched. He is just having some struggle and trouble to get back to being 100 percent faster. 'He is getting older, he still is in good shape, works out. But he's a beaten man, just trying to get as right as possible. 'Obviously, he will never wrestle again, but it isn't because he is dying, it is because his bones are deteriorated.' Hogan's physical and mental condition likely came under strain during his very public fallout with his ex-wife and daughter back in March. In an astonishing video on social media, Linda first accused her former husband of being a 'complete liar' and 'sex addict'. She also claimed their family is 'in the worst mess' after Brooke cut both parents out of her life, before hitting back at her mom by alleging that her dad was not the only reason behind the shocking family divide, claiming she was 'verbally and mentally abused' during her childhood. 'Sadly, it would frequently turn physical. And sometimes it's not by the person you would assume, abuse comes in all shapes and sizes,' Brooke alleged. After Brooke's stunning response, Linda then took a dramatic U-turn by defending Hogan and branding her daughter a 'narcissist.' Hogan and Linda were married for 26 years between 1983 and 2009. They have two children together: Brooke, 36, and Nick, 34. Hogan remarried in 2010, tying the knot with Jennifer McDaniel, but they split 11 years later. He married his third wife - Sky Daily - in 2023, in a ceremony that Brooke did not attend. A month after his family spat, the wrestling great did spark fears over his health after making a bizarre appearance on Fox News. Fans were left concerned when he appeared as a special guest on Fox & Friends at the start of May sporting a worrying new look. Renowned for his deep tan, Hogan's skin looked particularly weathered on air, while his usual white beard appeared to be dyed black despite his goatee and hair being left white - making for a strange contrast. One viewer wrote on social media, 'Tell Hulk Hogan his face is dirty, clean that soot off.' Another asked, 'Does anyone believe this is Hulk Hogan?'
