Jennifer Lopez did not seem to have a care in the world during a video shared to Insta Stories early on Friday morning.
The 54-year-old beauty looked ready for a summer pool party as she sat in the backyard of the $60M mansion in Bel Air, California that she used to share with her husband Ben Affleck as he has moved into a $100,000 a month rental.
The Atlas actress wore a strapless spring dress that was ivory with a floral print as she added a flirty beige hat with a pale green ribbon over her long lightened hair.
The star was with two of her oldest pals as they drank her brand of alcohol, Delola, on the rocks in wine glasses.
The three cheered to ‘success’ as JLo added, ‘Here is to the tour.’ Lopez is kicking off a Greatest Hits tour in July.

Meanwhile, her husband Affleck was seen getting delivery pizza to his rental located near ex-wife Jennifer Garner on Thursday, making it clear they are living in separate residences.
Lopez was sitting on top of a table as she talked directly to her fans.
She addressed her ‘JLovers’ telling them that her pals were grilling up fruit to put into her Delola drinks.
They had grilled oranges and pineapple that Lopez said added a ‘smoky’ flavor and then she ate one of the pieces of fruit. And there were cookies to the side.
There was no sign of sadness on Jennifer’s face as she appears to be going through a tough time with Ben as he lives alone.
But, as his friend Jason Mewes told TMZ this week, Ben may just be focusing on his role for his latest movie, the sequel to The Accountant.
Jennifer and Ben have yet to make a public statement on the state of their marriage as headlines are daily about their union.
Meanwhile, Jennifer has been promoting her new film Atlas as well as her upcoming massive tour.

This comes after the actress told Entertainment Tonight that she is comforted by those closest to her.
‘The one thing you can always trust in is family,’ the Bronx-born beauty shared with the outlet while on the red carpet.
Her comments are not what one would expect as there have been claims some very big problems are arising with her immediate family.
That same day PageSix claimed that her husband Ben Affleck, 51, is over the union and is ready to divorce.
Affleck, who wed Lopez in 2022 after a 2021 reunion, was not with his wife at her big premiere because he was working on the sequel to his film The Accountant.
People, however, has maintained that the couple will stick it out as they have a ‘great love story.’
There was no stress on her face and she seemed to be in a carefree mood
Her family includes many children.
Together she and Ben have been co-parenting his kids with Garner – Violet, Seraphina and Samuel – as well as her two teens with Marc Anthony – twins Max and Emme.
Jennifer is also often with her mother Guadalupe and her two sisters Leslie and Lynda.
PageSix painted a bleak portrait of Bennifer 2.0.
A source told the site that the Oscar-winning Argo star has ‘come to his senses’ about his ‘fever dream’ Lopez marriage.
Apparently the star was so caught up in his love for the 54-year-old Atlas actress that he could not think straight.
But now his head is clear and he ‘knows’ he needs to divorce, despite spending quality alone time with Lope in recent days.
The two have also been looking at new homes, it was claimed, after they bought a $60M mansion together last year.
Ben has been staying at a home in Bel-Air.

And Lopez is looking at new properties, though a source has told PageSix that it is only for ‘investment purposes.’
‘If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would,’ the PageSix source said.
‘He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.’
DailyMail.com has reached out to a rep for Lopez and Affleck, but has not heard back.
Fans started to notice that something might be wrong with the power couple earlier this month when they had not been photographed together in almost two months.
But they had busy careers: he was filming The Accountant in Los Angeles and she was working on co-chairing the Met Gala in New York City.
Headlines that they were on the rocks made the rounds.
But then suddenly she was seen smiling at her husband when his child Seraphina was giving a performance in her school play last week.

Ben did not look as enthused.
They were seen out together again over the weekend as he drove toward a garage by Soho House in Los Angeles.
He was holding onto a cell phone that read Jennifer Affleck on the front; it is not clear if he was holding her cell phone or if he was calling her from his phone even though she was sitting right next to him.
This time they were smiling and seemed more in sync. Both have been wearing their wedding rings.
The two have a complicated history.
They first fell in love on the set of their movie Gigli and got engaged but split in 2004.
They got back together in 2021, and eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022 before having a big ceremony later in Georgia.

Eyebrows were raised when she wrote about their love in her movie This Is Me… Now, in which he appeared, and she was seen melting down alongside him in the accompanying documentary titled The Greatest Love Story Never Told.
In the documentary he made it clear he did not like his wife sharing his old love letters.
He also addressed their different approached to fame: ‘Getting back together, I said, “Listen, one of the things I don’t want is a relationship on social media.” Then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask. It’s sort of like, you’re gonna marry a boat captain and you go, “Well, I don’t like the water.”‘
People also made claims on Monday about how they do not align when it comes to attention.
‘They just have very different approaches when it comes to media attention,’ said a source. ‘Ben hates all attention and it makes him very uncomfortable. Jennifer has always had a different approach.’
It was added it is just not ‘his way’ to share so much of his personal life.
‘It doesn’t make him happy and causes stress in his life and then in hers. There is no question their different styles clash,’ added the source.
A third source, from the music world, relayed: ‘She needs that expression but Affleck simply is not comfortable with it. After a while it causes tension in the relationship.
‘He is more introspective and private. She likes to open her heart to her fans and to the world. This makes them considerably different, and it has been difficult in the day-to-day relationship.’
The People source was more optimistic than the Page Six source saying they will stick it out.
‘There have always been clashes in their styles, how they handle issues, and their actions, but nothing has stopped their love over the years. This is a great love story,’ the insider shared.
