Jennifer Lopez looks sleek in a turtleneck and tight jeans while touring a Santa Monica school with her son Max… amid rumors she is contemplating relocating to be closer to Ben Affleck
She’s been spending more time in Los Angeles in recent months as her relationship to her former fiancé Ben Affleck has heated up.
And Jennifer Lopez took another step toward a permanent relocation to Southern California when she visited a school in Santa Monica on Saturday with her son Max, 13, in tow.
The 51-year-old actress and pop star had all eyes on her thanks to a casual ensemble that accentuated her curves.

Jennifer looked relaxed in a sleek black turtleneck that hugged her torso, which she had tucked into her high-waisted jeans.
The slim pants were ripped across the knees and thighs and frayed around the hems, and she held them up with a black leather Chanel belt with a gold buckle.
She matched the pants to a stylish set of gray–blue suede stilettos with eye-catching gold spikes for heels.
The Out Of Sight star blocked out the piercing sun with a chic set of squarish metal-frame sunglasses.

Getting the tour: Jennifer and her son were joined by two other women as a school official escorted them around the grounds and made a pitch
Jennifer rounded out her ensemble with a black crocodile-print Birkin Bag, and she wore her caramel-colored hair tied back tightly in a ponytail.
Max went totally casual while touring his potential school. He had on a humorous navy blue T-shirt reading ‘Just 5 More Minutes’ above a classic PlayStation controller.
He blocked out the sun with a blue Vans baseball cap and wore gray shorts with black high top Converse sneakers.

Jennifer was last seen touring school in early June, though it seems she’s still looking for the ideal spot for her twins.
Missing from her trip was her daughter Emme. The day before, Jennifer and her reunited love Ben Affleck took a trip to the Brentwood Country Mart for lunch while Emme and Ben’s son Samuel got a chance to bond.

Getting serious: The Hustlers actress is trying to nail down a school for her kids amid reports that she’s ready to move in with her boyfriend. ‘They plan on moving in together very soon,’ an insider told Us Weekly on Thursday
The Hustlers actress is trying to nail down an LA-area school for her children amid reports that she’s getting ready to move in with her boyfriend.
‘Ben and Jen are spending almost every night together when they’re not working,’ an insider told Us Weekly on Thursday. ‘They plan on moving in together very soon.’
The news was preceded by a July 7 report that the pair are ‘committed’ to ‘spending the rest of their lives together,’ after realizing they’ve found ‘true love,’ per the publication.
‘They’re fully committed to taking the next steps and spending the rest of their lives together…As far as they’re both concerned, they’re just blessed to have found each other and discovered true love, which most people can only ever dream about.’
In June, a source told People that the Armageddon star was making inroads with his girlfriend’s kids.
‘They are slowly getting to know Ben,’ the source said. ‘Everything seems to be running smoothly. It’s very obvious that Jennifer is serious about Ben. She hasn’t looked this happy for a long time.’

Change of scenery: Jennifer and the twins have been based in Miami, but they’re reportedly onboard with moving to California with her
They added that Max and Emme were ‘onboard with starting fresh in Los Angeles,’ where Ben is based.
The actor, writer and director prefers not to go far from LA, as he wants to be able to spend as much time as possible with his son and daughters.
Jennifer has long been based in Miami, where her ex-husband also lives, but she seems more open to a West Coast move, especially now that her teens appear to be supportive of the idea.
Their renewed relationship seems to be a kind of wish fulfillment for the Out Of Sight actress, who sees Ben as ‘the one that got away,’ a source told Page Six last month.
‘Jennifer always saw Ben as the one that got away. She was crushed after they broke up, though she felt at the time that she had no other choice but to call off their engagement,’ the insider said.
The A-list couple originally began dating in 2002 and got engaged later that year, but they called off the engagement and split up by early 2004.
