Jennifer Lopez recently turned 55, and while her career continues to thrive, her personal life has drawn significant attention. Recent months have been rife with speculation about a potential divorce between Lopez and Ben Affleck.
Lopez celebrated her birthday with a week-long party in the Hamptons, including a Bridgerton-themed event that Affleck did not attend. On her birthday morning, she was seen with her producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, and friend Stevie Mackay. Lopez shared a video from Elaine’s Instagram featuring the vocal coach with a “Happy Birthday” headband and a noise maker. Observant fans spotted a framed wedding photo of Lopez and Affleck in the background.
The presence of the wedding photo, Lopez’s continued display of her wedding ring, and recent reports of reconciliation efforts suggest a possible positive shift in their relationship. An insider informed the Daily Mail, “Jen and Ben agreed to take some time apart to reassess their needs and desires.”
The source added that the couple was close to ending their marriage. “The divorce papers are prepared and ready to be filed,” the source revealed. “However, they decided to give their relationship one last chance. They are reconnecting by writing letters to each other, which initially brought them together.”
Their second anniversary is approaching. The couple legally married on July 16 at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, but their official wedding ceremony took place on August 20. Despite being apart on their anniversary, they might still plan to celebrate on the August date. For their first anniversary, Lopez honored Affleck with a post on social media, using lyrics from her song “Dear Ben, Pt. II” as the caption.
