Jennifer Lopez had a lavish 55th birthday bash in the Hamptons while her husband, Ben Affleck, stayed in Los Angeles. The couple tied the knot in 2022 after nearly getting married 20 years prior.

However, there might be hope for fans who want the couple to stay together, as Lopez still has framed photos of her and Affleck in her Hamptons mansion.
Jennifer Lopez still has framed photos of her and Ben Affleck in her Hamptons mansion
Jennifer Lopez celebrated turning 55 without Ben Affleck. She’s been staying in the Hamptons in New York through July 2024 and threw herself a Bridgerton-themed birthday bash. The party involved her close friends and family decked out in Regency-era garb, and it came complete with horse-drawn carriages and musicians.
Lopez fans noticed that Ben Affleck didn’t attend her party, and it seems the couple didn’t spend Lopez’s actual birthday together. Rumors that Lopez and Affleck were heading for divorce started in April 2024, and they continue to ramp up as the couple stays on opposite coasts. However, Lopez proved she still has framed photos of her and Affleck in her Hamptons mansion.
Lopez reposted a clip of her producing partner, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, and her vocal coach, Stevie Mackey, on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, July 25, 2024.
“We’re here for Jennifer’s birthday, are we not, Stevie?” Goldsmith-Thomas said while on a couch in Lopez’s home.
“Yes, we are,” Mackey said while sitting next to Goldsmith-Thomas. Behind Mackey, fans can clearly see a framed photo of Lopez and Affleck on their wedding day in 2022. There are several other photos near the large wedding photo, and fans could assume that a few of the frames contain photos of Lopez and Affleck.
Jennifer Lopez appeared in a selfie without her wedding ring on her birthday
While Jennifer Lopez still has photos of Ben Affleck in her Hamptons home, she didn’t show them off in her fiery birthday selfie. On July 24, 2024, she posted a selfie to Instagram showing her in a white bathing suit. “This is me … now,” she captioned the post, referencing her 2024 album of the same name.
Lopez wears gold bangles, earrings, and a large ring on her index finger in the selfie. However, her ring finger remains bare. A source told In Touch Weekly that Lopez wants Affleck to continue to wear his wedding ring even if they plan to end their marriage.
“Until this divorce is final, she wants him to wear the ring and still act like a married man,” the source claimed, according to Yahoo. “Ben’s getting as much time away from her as he can because he just doesn’t want to deal with another fight. He’s walking on eggshells and never knows when she’s going to blow up.”
The couple might be trying to reconcile before committing to divorce
Many fans think there’s no hope for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck regarding saving their marriage. However, a source told DailyMail.com that the couple’s time apart might help them rekindle their romance. Additionally, Lopez and Affleck allegedly started writing love letters to each other to reignite their old spark.
“Jen and Ben agreed it is best to take some time apart so they can really figure out what it is that they want,” the insider shared. “They were ready to throw in the towel. Divorce papers are done and ready to be filed. But they wanted to give it one last go before walking away from this and are going back to the beginning by writing each other letters. This is what made them fall in love in the first place.”
