Jennifer Lopez has been hard at work on her upcoming ninth studio album, titled This Is Me… Now.
And on Thursday, the triple threat performer was spotted moments after wrapping up an intense 14-hour recording session in Los Angeles.
She was seen making her way outside towards her parked vehicle, eager to get home to her husband, Ben Affleck and their blended family that consists of five children between the two.
Even while dressed casually, the Hustlers star still oozed a sense of style in a black and brown-patterned overcoat that tied around the waist with a built in belt, which she wore over flared blue jeans and a white top.
Her wrist was adorned with the elegance of a $34,000 Hermes Clic H diamond bracelet in 18-karat rose gold.

Rounding out her overall look, Lopez also wore a pair of light brown boots, and had her lightened locks styled long and voluminous, although slightly messy after her long day in the studio.
By the time she made it out of the exit doors of the studio seemed to be a bit frazzled and in a hurry to get in her SUV and leave.
While carrying a laptop under one arm, the mother of twins eventually got in the vehicle and drive off, seemingly back home.
Lopez signed a new recording and publishing partnership with BMG, Billboard announced on September 11.
With the business side of her musical career now in order, this batch of new songs will be the first release under their new contract.
The new album, titled This Is Me… Now, has been described as a sequel to her third studio album, This Is Me… Then (2002), which dropped more than 20 years ago with Jenny From The Block serving as its lead single.
The new album even includes a sequel to the This Is Me… Then song Dear Ben that’s titled Dear Ben Pt. II.
This sequel album was written and produced primarily from May to August 2022, around the time of Lopez’s reunion and marriage to Ben Affleck.
