Amidst the dazzle of New York Fashion Week, Jennifer Lopez was the epitome of zest and joy as she relished the celebrations without her beau, Ben Affleck. Affleck, on the other hand, opted for a quieter setting, spending quality time with his children from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner at their L.A. residence.

A close source stated, “Jennifer has started to appreciate the personal space she and Ben maintain. She's realized she can thoroughly enjoy herself at these events, even more so because Ben tends to be somewhat reserved at such gatherings.”

It's no secret that Lopez's circle, including her fashion-forward East Coast pals, aren't necessarily in Affleck's social preference. "These are individuals Ben would likely avoid," the insider said. "Yet Jennifer thrives in their company, celebrating until dawn."

Lopez's effervescent spirit was evident when she posted a video of herself joyfully singing The Jackson 5’s "I Want You Back" alongside a friend, with a drink from her own brand in hand.

One onlooker remarked, “Jennifer was in her element, embracing every moment of the week. Following the runway presentations, she continued the celebrations, hopping from one gathering to another. It's a scene Ben wouldn't have enjoyed much.”

Indeed, Lopez seems to cherish moments when she can let loose. “It’s been quite a while since Jennifer allowed herself such uninhibited fun. She's never been one to solely play the role of a typical mom or domestic partner," commented the source.

Conversely, sources suggest that Affleck, 51, found solace in Lopez's decision to embark on her NYFW adventure solo. The actor made the most of this period, bonding with his kids and reconnecting with old pals like Matt Damon.

The source added, “Ben saw this as a refreshing breather. He cherished every moment with his children and relished the drama-free catch-ups with friends. For both Jennifer and Ben, the week seemed to be just what they needed.”

The Globe reported on the source's comments.
