The 13 Going On 30 actress, who turns 50 on Sunday, stepped out in a loose-fitting gray sweater and a pair of high-waisted blue jeans.

The pair became engaged on Wednesday, April 6 when he got down on one knee and offered her a diamond ring reportedly worth $10 million.
Lopez was in the bubble bath when she said Affleck popped the question.
‘[I] just looked in his eyes smiling and crying at the same time trying hard to get my head around the fact that after 20 years this was happening all over again,’ she wrote in her fan newsletter. ‘I was quite literally speechless and he said, ‘Is that a yes?’ I said “YES of course that’s a YES.”‘
The pair were previously engaged from 2002 to 2004.
