Jennifer Lopez flees to Aspen to get through her first Christmas without Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez was seen stepping out in Aspen on Christmas Day to enjoy a meal at the White House Tavern. The 55-year-old singer looked stunning as she bundled up in a stylish black shearling-lined parka with a fur hood, perfectly suited for the snowy weather.

The famous signer, who had exchanged Christmas gifts with her ex-husband Ben Affleck a couple of days earlier, styled her light brown hair with sun-kissed blonde highlights in a bouncy blowout.

She completed her chic Christmas look with a small black Dior purse and her signature glam makeup-sultry smoky eyes, warm blush, and a nude pink pout.

A joyful holiday despite divorce

This year marked Lopez's first Christmas since filing for divorce from Ben Affleck over the summer. Despite their separation, the former couple reunited in Los Angeles for an early Christmas celebration with their families. They were spotted having lunch at Soho House in Hollywood and reportedly exchanged gifts earlier in the week.

Lopez and Affleck, who share a blended family, have made it clear that they intend to remain involved in each other's lives for the sake of their children. Affleck, who shares three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, has been supportive of this approach. Meanwhile, Lopez shares 16-year-old twins Emme and Max with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Earlier this month, Lopez and Affleck were seen together with Garner at their children's school, where they came to support Fin and Emme in their school play.

Over the weekend, Lopez spoke about how she deals with hardships, particularly in light of her divorce from Affleck. In a video interview with British Vogue published on Friday, she shared her perspective on overcoming challenges.

"I think the way I overcome things is not by thinking of them as happening to me," she said.

"When I think of things that way and stay in a kind of a more positive mindset about it, it's easier to kind of embrace it for the lesson that it is.

"What am I supposed to learn here? There are no coincidences. This is not happening, you know, just randomly. It's happening for a reason."
