Jennifer Lopez was spied in a large SUV in Santa Monica, California on Thursday.
Her husband Ben Affleck in the driver’s seat as his superstar wife rode shotgun in the large vehicle that had blacked-out windows.
All that could be seen of Jennifer was her head as she wore her hair up and added large hoop earrings as she modeled a cream-colored top.
Argo star Ben had on a dark button-down shirt with beige slacks and comfortable Nike sneakers.
This comes after DailyMail.com’s report that the Mother actress was instrumental in getting Ben to get on better terms with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner with whom he shares three children.

Now ‘the drama of the past’ and ’emotions’ from their ‘divorce’ are ‘long gone.’
They were spotted looking extremely friendly with one another on Tuesday, eight years after they went their separate ways.
The two stars tied the knot in 2005 but split 10 years later, and after they ended their marriage, Affleck reconciled with his former lover Lopez, 54, who he was engaged to back in the early 2000s, a few years before he met Garner.
While outlets reported that the snaps of Affleck hanging out with his ex left Lopez ‘absolutely furious,’ a source close to the actor and the Jenny From the Block songstress told DailyMail.com exclusively that there are absolutely no ill will between the three of them, and that Lopez is in full support of their ‘happy co-parenting’ set-up.
In fact, the insider claimed that it was actually Affleck’s new romance with Lopez that ultimately helped him and Garner find peace.
‘One of the things that made [Garner] and [Affleck] get to a better place was – and is – JLO,’ they shared.

‘Ben is healthy. The drama of the past and the emotions of divorce are long gone and they are all making it work.’
They added that Lopez and Garner are ‘friendly’ with one another and that all of their kids ‘love each other.’
‘It is really a very happy co-parenting situation,’ dished the source. ‘Everything is really good right now and should be the same in the near and distant future.’
Closer Weekly reported that Affleck’s recent meetup with Garner ‘blindsided’ a ‘jealous’ Lopez.
However, a source told DailyMail.com said that couldn’t be farther than the truth and that the Dazed and Confused star and the hitmaker, who tied the knot last July, are ‘very much in love with each other’ one year into their marriage.
‘Their relationship is still on fire. They are really happy with each other, and there’s no drama in their relationship right now at all,’ they revealed.

They added that while Affleck is looking forward to getting back to work as the writers and actors strikes come to an end, the couple has ‘enjoyed’ having extra time to spend together over the last few months.
‘They want to get back to work and are looking forward to the strikes being over but they are also very much enjoying the more time they are spending with each other,’ they continued.
‘[Affleck] is writing, JLO is writing music, so they still have outlets to create while they enjoy each other’s time together.’
The source explained that Lopez even turns to Affleck for advice on how to go about co-parenting with her ex, Marc Anthony, whom she shares 15-year-old twins, Maximilian ‘Max’ David Muniz and Emme Maribel Muniz with.
‘JLO and Ben have had many talks about how she deals with [Anthony], and they all have been able to figure it out. It is actually inspiring and nice to see,’ they said.

He was pictured leaning his head on the 13 Going on 30 star’s shoulder as she gave him a hug.
Affleck and Garner initially met while working on films such as Pearl Harbor and Daredevil, in which they costarred. Garner was previously married to Scott Foley, and their marriage lasted from 2000 until 2004.
Following that split, the actress moved on with Affleck, with whom she tied the knot in Turks And Caicos in 2005.
The pair started their family with Violet’s birth, which took place that year, and they added Seraphina and Samuel to their family in 2009 and 2012, respectively.
They remained together until 2015, when they announced that they had separated, although they waited for three years before finalizing their divorce.
