Jennifer Lopez looked footloose and fancy free when on the East Coast on Sunday.
The Atlas actress – who will turn 55-years-old in nine days – was spotted smiling as she rode a bicycle near her mansion in the Hamptons on Long Island in New York.
The brunette beauty had on a pink and white top with white shorts and flip flops.
And the This Is Me… Now star added Barbie pink sunglasses from Gucci and large silver hoop earrings as she looked very stylish.
Her wedding rings from estranged husband Ben Affleck were in place.
The 54-year-old movie star has been in the Hamptons for the past week with her manager Benny Medina. She has also been seen with Ben’s daughter Violet Affleck, whom the actor shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Lopez has not been pictured with Affleck in 43 days; that was when they attended his son Samuel’s basketball game in Los Angeles.

Ben has three children, Violet, 18, Finn, 15, and Samuel, 12, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. JLo, on the other hand, shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Meanwhile, Ben was seen in his office parking lot in Los Angeles on Monday.
The Argo writer and actor was dressed up in a dark suit with a crisp white shirt with no tie as he looked ready for a board meeting.
The ex of Gwyneth Paltrow held onto an iced coffee as he carried a black duffle bag.
This comes after DailyMail.com has learned that the combined five children have been working behind the scenes to get Jennifer and Ben ‘back together,’ said a source.
‘The kids think Jennifer and Ben are really, deeply in love, like soul mates and they don’t want them to divorce,’ said the insider.
‘They want them to work it out for better or for worse, like their vows said. And they do feel that the two should continue counseling and talking it out, even if it is painful.
‘They feel like if they do and say the right things that there could be more peace.’
The kids want Ben and Jennifer to get back together before her 55th birthday, which falls on July 24, added the insider.
‘There is hope they could all celebrate together for a mellow family party in Los Angeles,’ added the source.
So what are they doing exactly to help the movie stars to get back to peace? ‘They highlight the positive attributes each have.’

And the insider said there is a general feeling like Ben could lighten up.
‘He is a prickly one, he can be grumpy, that is true for sure, he is not a happy go lucky kind of dude, even if he is very intelligent and funny. The kids are trying to get him to lighten up and let stuff go,’ added the insider.
Turns out Lopez has her flaws too: ‘She needs to work less and relax more.
‘The twins’ dad Marc Anthony has always said that: Jenny needs to relax and enjoy her life more, he told her for years and years to do this.
‘Now Max and Emme are doing the same,’ the source added.
The kids have another motive: they all like each other and want to stay family.
‘The kids get along great, especially Emme and Fin, they are best friends and talk every day,’ said the insider.

‘They tell Ben and Jenny, hey don’t give up, don’t lose this.’
The family has not been all together in one room since June when Samuel graduated from school.
The source added that there was supposed to be a divorce announcement on the 4th of July weekend but it never came. And that is why they are both still wearing their wedding rings.
‘There might be a delay or plans to split for good may be called off, no one is really sure now, not even her close friends really know,’ said a pal.
‘Everyone has been waiting for the bombshell news they have lawyered up and are ready to split but it has not come,’ said the source.
As far as how Ben’s ex-wife Garner feels, she is up for whatever is best for the kids.
‘She is a supermom and always put the kids first so if the kids want Ben and Jennifer to get back together, she is on board with that,’ said another source.

Meanwhile, Us Weekly claimed on Wednesday that there is a ‘sliver of hope’ that Ben and Jennifer could get back together.
‘Jennifer suggested they just take time to figure it out,’ the source said.
It was also added that Bennifer 2.0 ‘still haven’t made a decision’ regarding splitting.
‘They are going through so much individually and as a couple,’ another source told Us. ‘They may take some time to see if this complicated moment can resolve itself and they come back to each other [as] better people.’
This comes after news the Batman actor, 51, and the Maid in Manhattan star, 54, decided to put the Beverly Hills mansion on the public market for $68M ‘very recently’ and are hoping for a buyer asap, a source told UsWeekly on Saturday.
‘They thought they could sell it off-market but made a game-time decision in order to put more eyes on the property,’ the insider explained.
‘They are in a rush to sell it. Ben especially wants to be done with the house. He was never happy there.’
The source said the couple ‘never felt settled’ in the massive 38,000 square foot property, which features 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms.
‘They rarely have all the kids there at once, so it felt huge for the two of them,’ they continued.
The insider added, ‘Nothing has been decided yet as far as the divorce, but selling the house is the first step.’
Bennifer’s listing is being held by Santiago Arana of The Agency – the real estate brokerage owned by reality TV star Mauricio Umansky.
The home is now listed as ‘for sale’ on Zillow at the reported $68million price point.
Jennifer and Ben have reportedly been living apart for ‘months’ amid speculation that they’re headed for divorce.
Ben — who is still wearing his wedding ring — has been residing in a $100,000-per-month rental home near his ex-wife Garner, 52.
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.’

Meanwhile, Lopez feels the 12-bedroom house is simply ‘way too big for her.’
Jennifer and Ben bought the mansion and paid for it with cash after a two-year-search for their dream home in what was supposedly a fairytale ending to their decade’s long love story.
But the couple have been leading separate lives for the last few months after tying the knot at Ben’s Georgia estate on August 21, 2022.
