Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were spotted enjoying a night out in Los Angeles as they celebrated Powell Pierre-Muller’s 40th birthday.
The couple, who recently rekindled their romance, looked stunning as they stepped out for the special occasion.
Lopez, 54, radiated elegance in a green satin dress, which she paired with a cozy white coat.
She completed her ensemble with a gold clutch bag and matching heels.
Arm-in-arm with her 51-year-old husband, the singer turned heads with her glamorous appearance.
Meanwhile, Affleck opted for a sharp look, adhering to the event’s smart dress code by donning a black suit and white shirt.
The couple joined other guests at the party, including Pia Whitesell and her husband, Patrick Whitesell.
Pia Whitesell, formerly known as Pia Miller, is an Australian actress and the wife of Hollywood talent agent Patrick Whitesell.
The couple secretly tied the knot in May 2021.
Patrick, who serves as the executive chairman of Endeavour, is a prominent figure in the entertainment industry.
With clients such as Ben Affleck, Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Michelle Williams, and Meghan Markle, he holds significant influence in Hollywood.
Interestingly, Meghan Markle was notably absent from the guest list, raising eyebrows among attendees.
It appears that there may be some tension between Markle and Whitesell, as the latter’s agency has been working hard to secure a contract with the Duchess of Sussex for the past six months, but without success.
Rumors suggest that the agency may even cancel the deal by the end of this year.
This development comes at a challenging time for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, as their popularity seems to be dwindling.
While the rest of the royal family has been receiving positive news coverage, with King Charles promoting Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson, critics question the role of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
With the upcoming Earthshot Prize ceremony, all eyes will be on Prince William, Harry’s brother.
Critics believe that this event will generate significant press attention and social media coverage, potentially overshadowing the Sussexes from their California residence.
As positive coverage of the UK family continues to grow, Harry and Meghan risk losing their public image credibility.
Daniela Elsa, a commentator from News.com, commented on the situation, stating that Harry will have to witness extensive press coverage highlighting his older brother’s philanthropic achievements.
This, coupled with the grandeur of the Earthshot Prize event, will serve as a reminder of what Harry and Meghan gave up when they stepped away from their royal roles – the connections, the financial resources, and the influence of royalty.
In a separate development, just a day before the Earthshot Prize ceremony, Meghan’s sister, Samantha Markle, is suing the Duchess for defamation in Tampa, Florida.
Samantha is seeking $75,000 worth of damages, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing saga surrounding the Sussexes.
As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the dynamics between Meghan Markle, Patrick Whitesell, and the entertainment industry will evolve.
The absence of Markle from the guest list and the potential cancellation of her contract with Endeavour reflect a challenging period for the Duchess, while her popularity and public image credibility hang in the balance.
