Jennifer Lopez, also known as JLo, is a multidimensional personality who has wowed audiences as a singer, actor, and dancer. For decades, the world has been fascinated by her connection with her husband, actor Ben Affleck.
Lopez recently celebrated her 55th birthday with a Bridgerton-themed party, but Affleck was noticeably absent. The event has prompted interest in why the actor was not present to celebrate with her.
Lopez appeared joyful on July 20, 2024, and expressed excitement about her upcoming birthday. She shared a photo of herself smiling online. The celebrity also flaunted her cleavage in a tank top while relaxing in full glam, her complexion bright and her skin gleaming.
A day after the Bridgerton-themed birthday parties, Lopez went to the Hamptons for a lavish lunch, which Affleck did not attend.
She looked lovely as she walked into the Italian restaurant Arthur & Sons in Bridgehampton, wearing a flowery suit and a sleek ponytail.
The Saturday and Sunday celebrations took place before Lopez’s 55th birthday, which was a few days later on July 24, 2024. She thanked everyone on Instagram for the birthday greetings, wonderful videos, and messages she received from all around the world.
Lopez also shared a sweet photo of her three-tiered mint-colored birthday cake, which matched her pajamas. Even in her jammies, she looked stunning. She wore her hair in a high bun and accessorized it with a lovely tiara that read happy birthday.
Lopez shone and had a good time celebrating her birthday, but Affleck was not present, unlike at her birthday party in 2023, when he attended.
Multiple sources revealed that the actor did not attend the Bridgerton-themed birthday celebration or lunch at the Italian restaurant.
The “Marry Me” star married Affleck in a small wedding in Las Vegas in July 2022. She stated in her “On The JLo” newsletter that their walk down the aisle was just what they desired. Lopez revealed that she donned an outfit from an old film to their wedding ceremony.
The ceremony took place in a modest chapel, and they exchanged rings to signify their lifetime commitment. The next month, the couple enjoyed a grander wedding celebration in Savannah, Georgia.
Affleck is allegedly spending his vacation in California. The couple also celebrated their second anniversary individually on July 16, 2024. Lopez was spotted driving a classic Mercedes-Benz convertible with her longtime manager, Benny Medina.
Violet Affleck, who recently fought for the return of mask restrictions after getting a post-viral illness, wore one for the most of the day. However, she temporarily removed it while strolling with a buddy.
Violet lives with Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Violet and Lopez were spotted again on Sunday, July 14, 2024, in Southampton, New York. They strolled arm in arm to 75 Main restaurant, joined by Violet’s buddy.
Meanwhile, on his and Lopez’s second anniversary, Affleck was photographed heading into his Los Angeles office dressed in a grey suit. The 51-year-old has remained in Los Angeles, where he even spent the Fourth of July.
In addition to Violet, Ben Affleck has two children with Garner: Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12. Lopez has twins with her ex-husband Marc Anthony. Lopez’s marriage to Affleck is purportedly on the rocks, and Garner has apparently been there for her.
According to a source, the couple’s marriage is “not in the best place at the moment.” Insiders say Lopez and the actor’s marriage has been over since March 2024.
For the last month, the two have not been seen together in public. The actress and Affleck have recently officially listed their Beverly Hills property for $68 million.
The hints of turmoil in Lopez and Affleck’s marriage continued to pile up after the actor was spotted without his wedding band. On July 21, 2024, when Lopez was celebrating her 55th birthday, Affleck left his wedding band behind while out in Los Angeles.
He was also seen hanging out with a young lady that evening. The actor had chosen to spend the evening with Violet rather than celebrating his wife’s birthday.
The next day, Affleck arrived at work dressed in a navy suit. The Oscar winner had an iced coffee in his right hand and a phone and gym bag in the other, making it difficult to tell if he was wearing his wedding band.
Meanwhile, Lopez was seen wearing her glittering wedding band at an Equinox gym in the Hamptons on Monday, July 22, 2024.
The heroine of “The Mother” showed off her abs in a cream sports bra, low-slung white linen slacks, and a fluffy oversized sweater. The enormous cardigan later made it difficult to view her hands, since it covered the ring finger.
Despite reports of a breach in their marriage and divorce, Lopez and Affleck have prioritized their children in their mixed family. The couple has also not officially verified or refuted reports that they are divorced or about to split.
