Jennifer Lopez was on a mission in Los Angeles on June 10 when she was spotted furniture shopping with her 15-year-old son Max. The actress looked stylish in an orange and white oversized dress. She paired the look with sky-high heels and a sleek bun. Her son looked casual in green pants and a graphic t-shirt, with a baseball cap hiding his face.
Photos showed the mother-and-son duo entering and leave a furniture store in LA. It wasnโt clear if JLo purchased anything during the shopping spree, but she has a good reason to be on the hunt for new furniture.
The actress recently made headlines alongside her husband Ben Affleck for buying a $60 million mansion after nearly two years of house hunting.
The mansion is known as the Wallingford Estate and is in the heart of Beverly Hills. Sitting on 2 acres of land, the home comes with thousands of square feet of living space, including 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms, which is perfect for their blended family.

However, the mansion has a dark history. Over the years, several of its owners were arrested for criminal activities. For example, in 2004, it was bought by Curtis Somoza only a few years before he was handed 25 years in jail for orchestrating a $64 million Ponzi scheme.
Later, the estate was picked up by Saudi Prince Majed Abdulaziz Al-Saud in 2015. However, the prince was soon involved in a scandal when a woman accused him of assault. Though he was arrested, police couldnโt prosecute the royal due to lack of evidence.
The home went on to be purchased by real estate developed Gala Asher, who focused on renovating the property before JLo and Ben scooped it up.
Why JLo Recently Said Filming With Jason Statham Was Hard
Jenniferโs real estate purchase isnโt the only reason sheโs been in the headlines this month. The actress recently made a candid confession about how difficult it was to film an intimate scene with Jason Statham. During her decades-long career, JLo has had to get close with a variety of co-stars for the sake of her movies. But it appears that filming 2013โs Parker was one of the most challenging for her.
โMy heart was beating out of my chest,โ JLo recalled. โIt was awful. You can hear a pin drop. And everybody knows [the scene is] coming. It was really nerve-wracking.โ The actress said the worst part was not knowing what to expect during the moment. While she wasnโt required to undress completely, Jen explained that it was โenough to make me feel uncomfortable.โ
โYou do โ you get so nervous, and heโs sitting there. Iโm like, โThis is so weird,โ Butโฆ I knew it was part of the script, and we talked about how far we would go and, โIs he gonna make me take everything off?โโ she went on.
Despite the difficulties, the film was eventually released to mixed reviews. Today, it has 6.2/10 stars on IMDB.
While Jennifer says working with Jason was a challenge, the actor has only had positive things to say about working with her. โIt was a great couple of weeks that we had together,โ Jason said of filming Parker. โI try not to come in with expectations on what someone is going to be like, because sheโs so famous.โ
He added, โThe idea is just to meet someone on face value and go from there. I think itโs always the most honest way.โ
Given Jenniferโs comments, it seems like a future movie alongside Jason Statham may be out of the cards for her
