Was 2024 Jennifer Lopez‘s roughest year yet? The 55-year-old released her ninth album This Is Me… Now, a companion musical film, and documentary — all panned by critics and pop fans. She canceled her 2024 North American tour citing family priorities. Then, her sci-fi thriller Atlas received negative reviews from critics, and her former love, Sean “Diddy” Combs, was arrested and charged with sex trafficking.

The cherry on top of a difficult year: Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck despite fans adoring the couple since their 2021 reunion. Needless to say, the “Waiting for Tonight” singer needs a reset, and Aspen, Colorado, looks like her vacation of choice.

Before Christmas, Lopez touched down in the ski resort town with her sister, mom, niece, and daughter. The family’s arrival set in motion endless photo ops for lingering paparazzi hoping to catch celebrities vacationing in Aspen. On Christmas Eve, Lopez shopped with her manager, Benny Medina, and her 16-year-old daughter, Emme Muniz. The Selena star wore a red plaid shirt, oversized faux fur coat, wide-leg denim, and platform lug boots.

Jennifer Lopez kept her Christmas plans private, emerging on December 26 with Medina and Muniz for coffee and a walk around town. The businesswoman wore the same platform boots paired with a Polo Ralph Lauren black and white wool-blend shawl-collar cardigan.

Lopez took to Instagram after Christmas, sharing snaps of family time at her Aspen rental home. Lopez’s younger sibling, Lynda Lopez, was present in Aspen with her daughter Lucie. Fans are relieved to see the “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” singer enjoying herself with her loved ones after such a tough year.

A few days later, J.Lo stepped out in another black and white oversized sweater, accessorizing with Versace Medusa Icon Shield Sunglasses. Wearing her hair in the sleek topknot, the snow bunny traversed the slopes in a fur-lined coat and boots.

That evening, Jen visited Kemo Sabe, a luxury Western wear boutique and bar. The “I’m Real” singer sipped cocktails and socialized with Medina and some girlfriends. At one point, she made eye contact with the paparazzi, playfully sticking out her tongue from afar. Kevin Costner also made an appearance at Kemo Sabe. Officially divorced as of 2024, the former Yellowstone star seemed ready to party in the ski town.

The next day, Jennifer and Medina recovered with a romp in the fresh snow. The mother of two wore her beloved platform lug boots with black pants and a white down jacket. She stayed warm with a Polo Ralph Lauren Wool Snowflake Pom-Pom Beanie.
