Her latest sighting comes after she said canceling her summer tour earlier this year was the ‘best thing she’d ever done’ amid her split from Affleck.
The songstress pulled the plug on her This Is Me… Live concerts in May, telling fans at the time she was ‘heartsick and devastated’ to ‘let them down’ before later confirming in divorce documents that the couple had split the prior month.
A statement at the time read that JLo was retreating from the spotlight ‘to be with her children’ and speaking on Friday’s Graham Norton show she said: ‘I took the summer off to be home with the kids, which is the best thing I have ever done’.
Sticking to what she said, she brought along Emme to the premiere to enjoy the highly anticipated Broadway adaptation of Wicked.
