Sources say Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage is struggling, and people are noticing signs that it might be ending. This week, another big sign has appeared that’s sparking more speculation. Keep reading to find out more.
Jennifer Lopez is celebrating her 55th birthday a bit early with a Bridgerton-themed party in the Hamptons. She invited some of her closest friends and family to join in the festivities.
The party took place on Saturday in the Hamptons. While there weren’t any photos of Jennifer Lopez herself, pictures of the event were popular online. The party featured a horse-drawn carriage, fancy furniture brought in just for the event, and lots of flowers.
Lopez’s mother, Guadalupe Rodríguez, attended, wearing a blue dress with ruffles and matching blue shoes. Another guest wore a similar dress, and a male guest was dressed in an outfit like those seen in Shonda Rhimes’ period drama series.
Jennifer Lopez’s birthday is officially on July 24th, but she celebrated a few days early. Although Lopez and her twins, Max and Emme, weren’t pictured at the party, they were reportedly there. However, Ben Affleck and his kids, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, were not at the celebration.
Write this in easy human language:
While Lopez did not herself post anything from her birthday, she made sure to post earlier in the day a series of pictures, with the caption manifesting a good day for herself.
The caption read, “Today is gonna be a great day 🤍🙏🏼 Happy Saturday everybody ☀️”

It looks like Affleck and Lopez have been celebrating important events separately. Last week, they both marked the two-year anniversary of their Las Vegas wedding, but they were on opposite coasts of the country.
Lopez was seen riding her bike and driving around with her longtime manager and friend, Benny Medina. Meanwhile, Affleck was spotted in Los Angeles wearing a black suit and still wearing his wedding ring.
Their second wedding anniversary, which was a bigger event, is coming up on August 20th. However, rumors say they have been living apart for some time. They have even put their $68 million Beverly Hills home up for sale, and Lopez went on a solo vacation to Europe.
A source recently said that the couple is trying to make things easier for their children during this time. They want to be gentle and avoid making things more upsetting than they already are.
One child who might be especially affected by the split is Violet Affleck, who has become close with her stepmother, Jennifer Lopez. A source says they have built a strong bond during Jen and Ben’s relationship, and keeping that bond is important to everyone.
Recently, JLo posted a picture of a girls’ outing, with Violet sitting in the car next to her. The source added that Ben doesn’t want to create any problems between Jen and Violet and supports them spending time together. Although it’s a bit tricky for him, both Jen and Ben want all their kids to be happy despite their marriage issues.
