While Ben Affleck was busy attending meetings in Los Angeles, Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday with a spectacular ‘Bridgerton’-themed party in The Hamptons, stirring up even more curiosity about the state of their marriage.
Ben, the 51-year-old actor and director of “AIR,” was seen navigating through a parking garage as he headed to his office building on Sunday, July 21. Dressed in a sharp navy suit, he looked ready for business. Meanwhile, Jennifer was indulging in some Regency-era fantasy on the East Coast.
The birthday bash, which took place on Saturday, July 20, was nothing short of extravagant. The Daily Mail shared photos and videos showcasing the lavish setup, complete with regal furniture, opulent decorations, and stunning floral displays that would make the Bridgerton family proud. Guests even arrived in horse-drawn carriages, adding to the party’s aristocratic charm.
Jennifer’s mom, Guadalupe Rodriguez, embraced the theme beautifully, donning a powder blue dress with white lace detailing. She looked every bit the part of a high-society matron as she arrived alongside other guests.
Despite the grandeur of the celebration, one notable absence was Ben Affleck and his three children. Multiple sources confirmed to People that Ben and the kids did not attend Jennifer’s birthday festivities.
Jennifer officially turned 55 on Wednesday, July 24. This milestone comes just days after July 16, which marked her and Ben’s second wedding anniversary. However, the couple did not celebrate the occasion together; Jennifer was in The Hamptons while Ben remained in L.A.
Rumors of tension between the power couple have been swirling for weeks. Earlier this month, they listed their marital home for sale and Ben moved into a rental property, fueling speculation about their relationship. Despite these rumors, neither Jennifer nor Ben has publicly commented on the state of their marriage.
The couple’s history is well-documented, from their early 2000s romance, subsequent breakup, and eventual reunion. Their rekindled love story captured the public’s imagination, but it has not been without its challenges. The pressures of their respective careers, public scrutiny, and blending their families have undoubtedly tested their relationship.
As Jennifer enjoyed her lavish party, complete with all the trappings of a Regency-era soiree, Ben was focused on his work in Los Angeles. The contrast between their weekends couldn’t have been more stark, further fueling the rumor mill.
