Jennifer Lopez, unfazed by divorce rumors, celebrated her 55th birthday with a grand Bridgerton-themed party in the Hamptons. The pop icon hosted the extravagant pre-birthday event on Saturday, featuring a star-studded guest list. Attendees arrived in royal costumes, adding to the event’s opulent atmosphere. Among the notable guests were Sarah Jessica Parker and Lucy Paez, who co-starred with Lopez in Netflix’s The Mother. In photos obtained by Page Six, guests were seen being greeted by a horse-drawn carriage, enhancing the Bridgerton theme’s regal charm.
Lopez’s mother, Guadalupe Rodríguez, also attended the celebration, wearing a blue gown with white lace detailing. Despite the presence of several family members, Lopez’s husband, Ben Affleck, was notably absent. A source told People that Affleck was recently seen driving solo in Los Angeles, with his wedding ring in full display. The couple, who married in 2022, are reportedly spending time apart amid ongoing marital challenges.
Ben Affleck’s Absence Fuels Divorce Rumors
The absence of Ben Affleck at Jennifer Lopez’s birthday bash has fueled rumors about their potential divorce. The couple has not been photographed together for over a month, according to Page Six. Additionally, they reportedly spent their second wedding anniversary apart, further intensifying speculation. Despite these rumors, Lopez was seen spending time with Affleck’s 18-year-old daughter, Violet, in the Hamptons. Violet is Affleck’s daughter with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
Media reports have suggested that Affleck might be struggling with Lopez’s fame. However, a source recently denied such claims, indicating that the issues between the couple are more profound. “The idea that Ben thinks Jennifer is too famous and that he didn’t know what he was getting into with the attention on their marriage isn’t true,” a source told People. This statement suggests that their relationship struggles are not due to Lopez’s celebrity status but rather deeper, underlying issues.
Despite the swirling rumors and media speculation, Jennifer Lopez continues to focus on her personal celebrations and professional endeavors. Her Bridgerton-themed birthday party showcased her ability to host grand, memorable events, drawing attention away from her personal life and towards her vibrant, star-studded celebrations. As fans eagerly await updates on her relationship with Affleck, Lopez remains in the public eye, balancing her personal and professional life with grace.
