Jennifer Lopez was seen happily shopping with her daughter Emme after finalizing her divorce from Ben Affleck, even sporting a “winner’s smile”

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are still living separate lives, with JLo vacationing in the Hamptons while her husband hangs back in Los Angeles with his children.

It appears the Get Right star tried to distract herself from their rumored marriage woes by enjoying a shopping trip with her child Emme, 16, and two friends on Friday.

She was photographed flashing a rare smile as she kicked back in the passenger’s seat of gold Jeep with her vacation crew.

For their shopping spree, the ladies focused their efforts on a farmers market in Amagansett Square, before making their way to other shops in the Amagansett region of East Hampton in Long Island.

Lopez and Affleck have been spending time apart since March amid an avalanche of speculation that the Hollywood couple is headed for divorce.

For their cruise around the Hamptons, Lopez kept it casual-cool in flared blue jeans and a white cropped T-shirt.

In keeping with her relaxed of style, JLo strolled from store to store in a pair of flip flop sandals.

She let her honey-toned hair flow out from under a stylish straw hat.  

Despite rumors that a divorce with Affleck is ‘imminent,’ Lopez still had her wedding ring on for Friday’s outing in New York.

Also on Friday, Affleck was seen flashing his wedding band as he ran errands in Los Angeles. 

But just three days earlier, the Argo star was photographed without it on.

The estranged couple, who have not been pictured together in nearly a month, recently put their Beverly Hills marital home on the public market.

They bought the property last year for $60.85 million following a two-year search for that perfect abode in some of the most expensive neighborhoods in Southern California. 

Amid speculation of a split, Jennifer and Ben attempted to quietly offload the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom mansion for $65million in June. 

But as of Thursday, the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom mansion is listed as ‘for sale’ on Zillow with a whopping $68 million price tag.

The new listing, as per TMZ, claims that the 38,000-square-foot abode was renovated within the last four months – which may explain the $3million price hike. 

The renovations and improvements to the home were reportedly completed in the last four months. 

TMZ also noted that California’s mansion tax – an extra transfer tax applied to home sales over $5million — may also be a factor in price. For homes sold for $10million and above, an extra 5.5% charge is applied to the sale.

Bennifer’s listing is being held by Santiago Arana of The Agency – the real estate brokerage owned by reality TV star Mauricio Umansky. 

Celebrity realtor, Josh Flagg, recently told PEOPLE that the listing price for the mansion is ‘relatively close to what they paid for it,’ and added it ‘means they really want to move the property.’ 

‘With that said, I’m also going to take [a guess] that they’re not going to walk out of this making money. They’re going to either break even or take a small loss.’

Flagg – who is known for starring on Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles – continued, ‘generally, people do not sell their primary residence a year after they buy it unless there is a divorce, a death, or some kind of desperation.’

However, he explained that the attention the pair have been receiving over rumored marriage woes will not dissuade potential buyers. 

‘If a buyer wants to buy a house, they’re going to buy a house. If anything, at least it is giving me some press to the house. It’s good advertising for the property,’ Josh expressed.  

Jennifer and Ben have reportedly been living apart for ‘months’ amid speculation that they’re headed for divorce. 

Affleck has been residing in a $100,000-per-month rental home near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52, in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood. 

He was reportedly seen moving his belongings out of the Beverly Hills house that he once shared with Lopez in late June, as per PEOPLE.

‘Ben continues to live at the Brentwood rental. He’s been there for about two months now,’ a source told the outlet at the time.

‘He seems okay. He’s been at his office every day and seems focused on work. He’s also spending time with his kids.’ 

Neither Jen nor Ben wanted to keep their marital dwelling for different reasons: she felt it was too big and he thought it was too far from his kids.

A source previously dished to PEOPLE: ‘Ben never liked the house. It’s too far away from his kids.’

The Gone Girl star co-parents his three children Samuel, 12, Fin, 15 and Violet, 18, with his ex-wife Garner, who lives in the Pacific Palisades. 

Meanwhile, Lopez, who shares 16-year-old twins Emme and Max from prior marriage to Marc Anthony, feels the 12-bedroom house is simply ‘way too big for her.’
