On Monday morning she was seen in a pale gray cut-up sweatshirt that revealed her black bra and tummy.
The mother to twins Max and Emme - whose dad is Marc Anthony - added hunter green leggings that matched her NY Yankees cap as she slipped on ombre beige aviator sunglasses and silver hoop earrings.
The selfie was taken in the entranceway of her New York City dwelling.
Meanwhile, her ex Ben Affleck has been in Los Angeles. They separated on April 26, 2024.
This is the date listed in court documents when Lopez filed for divorce in Los Angeles Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences.
The couple had been married for two years, having initially rekindled their relationship after their previous split in 2004.
But Jennifer and ben appear to be on okay terms these days despite the end of their marriage.
Last month Affleck has praised his ex-wife Lopez for being 'spectacular' to his children.
The 52-year-old actor - who has three children, Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13, with his first wife Jennifer Garner - separated from second wife J.Lo in April 2024, after two years of marriage.

Lopez has 17-year-old twins Max and Emme - who she has with her ex-husband Marc Anthony - and her children and his own kids joined him at the Los Angeles premiere of his new action film The Accountant 2 on Wednesday night.
Speaking on the red carpet, Ben took a moment to praise J.Lo for maintaining a wonderful relationship with his kids, despite their split.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he said: 'For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them.
'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.
'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.'
Affleck also admitted that he avoids reading anything about what people think of his relationship with Lopez, because he doesn't want negativity in his life.
He said: 'I don't read the stuff online much, and sometimes I get the sense that people perpetuate this idea of … they want to find something negative to talk about.'
The Accountant 2 - which follows forensic accountant Christian Wolff who 'teams up with his estranged but highly lethal brother to track down mysterious assassins ' - is something the star is 'proud' of , and the night was even more special knowing that his and Jennifer's children were there to support him.
Ben - who told GQ magazine in March 2025 that there is 'no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue' surrounding his break-up from J.Lo - said: 'It's a great night. The kids are here, Jen's kids are here. I'm very, very excited.
'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.'

JENNIFER LOPEZ AT THE MET OVER THE YEARS
By Heidi Parker
The Bronx native has been at the splashy Met Gala in New York City many times over her career. Here is a look back at her glamorous statements.
1999
The first time she went, the singer was on the arm of rapper and music producer P Diddy, also known as Puff Daddy and Sean Combs. The year was 1999 and she wore a pink dress with a matching fur jacket. He was dashing in a white turtleneck and button free coat. The theme was Rock Style.
2004
The diva was in a black lace tiered dress when she posed with Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce at the event. Her hair was up in a Swedish braid and she wore ruby red lipstick.
2006
It was a drastic change in 2006 as Jenny From The Block opted for a one-shoulder gown in a soft white color with a sheer mermaid finish and her hair down. She added long earrings and carried a clutch purse for a very polished look. The theme was Anglomania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion.
2007
There was a 1920s influence for this shimmery silver dress that was off the shoulder and had a dazzling belt as she added a hair clip that matched her earrings and clutch purse. The theme was Poiret: King of Fashion.
2008
In the year 2008 the Wedding Planner actress went with a more feminine look as she had on a dusty green one-strap gown with heavy embellishments on the neckline and several folds. Her hair was worn in soft waves and she had on an oversized cuff that matched her earrings.
2010
This year the Back-Up Plan star returned to Hollywood glamour with a sparkly strapless silver Cinderella style dress as she wore her hair up.
2011
The Parker star went for a ruby look with a halter dress and flowers on her shoulders with a matching pout as she had her hair pulled back dramatically. Her date was husband Marc Anthony.
2013
Her figure was the highlight of this look as the El Cantante actress wore a black and nude colored skintight dress with her hair up in a big quaff. The theme was Punk: Chaos To Couture. Her date was dancer Casper Smart.
2015
It was a Versace moment for the Boy Next Door star who had on mostly sheer dress with red sequins. Again, she went with only one strap. The theme was China: Through the Looking Glass.
2017
The diva harked back to the 1970s in a long blue gown with her hair worn down her chest and diamond earrings as an accent. She took with her Alex Rodriguez for the first time. The theme was Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art of the In-Between.
2018
The Shades Of Blue actress went for a structured dress this year with a large cross on the front in rhinestones and cut outs on her chest. The theme was Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and The Catholic Imagination. Her date Alex wore all black.
2019
Jennifer took a risk this year by wearing a headpiece made of crystals for the theme Camp: Notes on Fashion. Her dress was very low cut as was the slit up the side. Her date again was Alex who went with a pink blazer.
2021
For the 2021 Met Gala, Jennifer channeled the wild West. She wowed in this dazzling brown Ralph Lauren gown that was so low cut it ended at her belly, offering plenty of cleavage. The skirt portion was long and had a high slit up one leg.
Her date for the night was Ben Affleck who wore a black tuxedo with bow tie.
The Met Gala theme was In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.
2023
The look was inspired by the 1940s as Jennifer had on a fascinator with a black veil over her eyes adding statement earrings.
The former Fly Girl had on a pale pink silk and black velvet custom Ralph Lauren gown that looked retro and modern at the same time.
The theme was Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty.

Ciara has got 'a lot of love' for Rihanna as she breaks silence on rumored rift
Ciara has revealed her bad blood with Rihanna is now water under the bridge. In an interview with Bravo's Watch What Happens Live on Thursday, the 39-year-old singer revealed that past tension has now disappeared. 'CiCi got a lot of love for RiRi,' said Ciara. The feud between the stunning singers started in February of 2011, when Ciara admitted she and Rihanna hadn't been on the best of terms while appearing on the E! series Fashion Police. Ciara said back then: 'I ran into her recently at a party and she wasn't the nicest and it's crazy because I've always loved and respected what she's done with fashion. I've ran into her before, but this time it wasn't the most pleasant run-in.' However, she's now revealed they have both matured and traded their youthful rivalries for parental responsibilities. Ciara is parents to four kids: son Future Zahir 11, with rapper Future; and with Wilson, daughter Sienna Princess, eight, son Win Harrison, four, and Amora Princess, one. Rihanna is mom to two kids with ASAP Rocky - sons RZA Athelston Mayers, two, and Riot Rose Mayers, one - and expecting her third. Ciara went on: 'Oh my gosh, we were babies - now we're mamas doing our thing - it's all love.' Ciara said that she recently crossed paths with Rihanna at the Met Gala last month, revealing they 'got to have a good conversation'. She added: 'She's now having her third baby, which is so cool - so shout out to mamas out here doing everything!' Back in 2011, after Ciara was critical of the S&M singer on the E! series, Rihanna replied to the onscreen snub tweeting, 'My bad ci, did I 4get to tip u? #howrudeofme.' Ciara replied: 'Trust me Rhianna u dont want to see me on or off the stage' to which Rihanna said in reply, 'U gangsta huh? Haaa. Good luck with bookin that stage u speak of.'

"I'm just not interested unless I really connect with a guy," she explained to the publication. Jess added: "I'm not having any, and I don't miss it. I don't want it. It could be years before I have it again, who knows. "I'm not into one-night stands and, believe it or not, I never have been." Jess won the first ever series of Love Island alongside Max Morley in 2015. She worked in a bank at the time and chose to share the £50,000 prize money with Max. The couple appeared smitten and had quickly won over the hearts of the nation. But just six weeks after their triumph, the winners dramatically split when Max was caught spending the night with Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby. I won the first ever Love Island but the fall out from my instant fame was so brutal I've given up sex for good, says Jessica Hayes Looking back, Jess has now accused professional cricket player Max of deliberately "targeting" her.

'I didn't have good guidance or good management and that didn't help me take the right path. 'There were points where I thought, what the hell am I doing?" Jess is now a devoted mum of two children, five-year-old son Presley and daughter Zendaya Rose, one. The relationships with both of her kids' dads broke down and she is now a single mum. However, Jess said: 'I couldn't ask for more from my children's dads. 'They are in their lives and they are good with them." She added: 'I'm not materialistic at all now and I think that having children, your priorities change. 'And if my daughter tells me she wants to apply for Love Island in 20 years time I will tell her, 'No way — not unless I'm your manager'.' 5 Jess won Love Island alongside Max Morley Credit: ITV2 5 She has accused Max of targeting her on the show Credit: ITV

Ciara breaks silence on rumored Rihanna rift
Ciara says her bad blood with Rihanna is water under the bridge - or off the singer's umbrella. The 39-year-old vocalist, appearing Thursday on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live, revealed that past tension with the Barbados-born beauty has disappeared since a testy tweet exchange 14 years ago. 'CiCi got a lot of love for RiRi,' said the Austin, Texas-born beauty, who is married to New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson. The feud between the stunning singers started in February of 2011, when Ciara admitted she and Rihanna hadn't been on the best of terms while appearing on the E! series Fashion Police. 'I ran into her recently at a party and she wasn't the nicest and it's crazy because I've always loved and respected what she's done with fashion,' said the Ride singer. 'I've ran into her before, but this time it wasn't the most pleasant run-in.' The Oh singer said that she and Rihanna have both matured and traded their youthful rivalries for parental responsibilities. Ciara is parents to four kids: son Future Zahir 11, with rapper Future; and with Wilson, daughter Sienna Princess, eight, son Win Harrison, four, and Amora Princess, one. Rihanna is mom to two kids with ASAP Rocky - sons RZA Athelston Mayers, two, and Riot Rose Mayers, one - and expecting her third. 'Oh my gosh, we were babies - now we're mamas doing our thing - it's all love,' the 1, 2 Step singer said. Ciara said that she recently crossed paths with Rihanna at the Met Gala last month. The skilled singer-dancer made clear she's on good terms with Rihanna, as they 'got to have a good conversation. 'She's now having her third baby, which is so cool - so shout out to mamas out here doing everything!' After Ciara was critical of the S&M singer on the E! series, Rihanna replied to the onscreen snub tweeting, 'My bad ci, did I 4get to tip u? #howrudeofme.'
