Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday in style with a lavish Bridgerton-themed party in the Hamptons, but fans quickly noticed Ben Affleck was absent. While Lopez looked radiant in social media posts, Affleck remained in Los Angeles, sparking more rumors about trouble in their marriage.
JLo’s Birthday Bash Without Ben
On July 20, 2024, Lopez hosted a Bridgerton-inspired party attended by family and celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker. Guests arrived in ballgowns and tiaras, welcomed by a horse-drawn carriage. Lopez’s mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez, and her 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, were there — but Affleck was nowhere in sight.
Separate Lives
The celebrations continued with a lunch at Arthur & Sons in Bridgehampton. Lopez stunned in a floral Zimmermann outfit but again, Affleck missed the event. Meanwhile, Affleck was spotted working in Los Angeles, without his wedding ring, as Lopez shared, “Today is gonna be a great day 🤍🙏🏼.”
Rumors of Trouble
Sources say the couple’s marriage has been “not in the best place,” and they listed their Beverly Hills mansion for $68 million. Affleck was seen running errands alone while Lopez celebrated, further fueling divorce rumors.
Family Focus
Despite the split speculation, both Lopez and Affleck continue prioritizing their children. They have not publicly addressed the divorce rumors, but the growing distance is hard to ignore.
