The Juno actress, who herself is dating businessman John Miller, teamed a navy cardigan with a white t-shirt and a pair of trendily faded jeans.

Her sighting comes after an insider exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com that the two Jennifers have been in close contact amid Ben’s latest crisis.

Both of them are apparently fearful that Ben’s marital woes could endanger his sobriety, following his well-publicized battles with alcoholism.

‘JLo has been confiding in Jen because she knows that she is one of the only people in the world who would understand what she is going through,’ the source said.

‘She has been through it with the same man herself and although the circumstances were quite different it is still the same man and they both dealt with some of the same issues,’ the insider revealed.

‘Jen does not want Ben to pull the plug on this marriage because she really does care about JLo. She did go to his house to talk to him about this and to try and keep the two of them together.’

The source went on: ‘JLo was told several times by Jen how valued she is in all their lives. She is one of the only women who can get through to Ben and keep him from jumping off the deep end with his addiction.’

This week, JLo was seen seeking solace at the dance studio after canceling her upcoming summer tour amid claims that she and Ben are on the brink of divorce.

While emerging in public for the first time since abruptly scrapping her This Is Me… Live Tour to spend time with her children and family, the superstar, 54, attempted to keep a low profile as she arrived to the Mihran K. dance studio in Burbank.

After sliding out of the passenger side of a white car, the two-time Grammy nominee exchanged friendly hugs with several members on her team.

For the occasion, she wore an oversized white sweater over a matching tank top, sweatpants, sneakers and an oversized shades over her light brown eyes.

Her 8.5-carat natural green diamond engagement ring, which is estimated to be worth between $5 million and $10 million, was visible on her wedding finger.

Lopez, who is reportedly disappointed by the idea of a fourth divorce, carried her essentials in a crocodile Birkin.

The Atlas actress put on a happy face as she spoke with her colleagues on Friday.

Her latest sighting comes after Lopez canceled her Greatest Hits summer tour to spend more time with her family.

In a statement, provided to DailyMail.com, it was revealed that the performer would be ‘taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.’

Lopez also sent a special message to her fans through her OntheJLo site.

‘I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,’ the Hustlers star began.

‘Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary.

‘I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…’ wrote the producer.

A source told DailyMail.com that Lopez was sad to be dropping out of the tour, which was selling well, but needed to be home at this time.

‘She’s taking time off to be with family and close friends,’ said the insider as they noted she had been rehearsing often for the show and was ready to commit, but felt it was time for a break.

‘This was a very difficult decision made by Jennifer this week and she’s sorry to her fans.’

This decision was not made around ticket sales as the tour was actually doing well in most key cities and there had been a good uptick, a source told DailyMail.com
