Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are making waves in 2024. The couple captured the media’s attention with their romance and engagement in the early 2000s. While their relationship didn’t work then, they rekindled their flame in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022. Unfortunately, all signs point to divorce for the couple in 2024. Here’s what to know about Lopez’s 55th birthday party that Affleck didn’t attend, including her Instagram post.
Jennifer Lopez posted about having a ‘great day’ on the day of her birthday party
All eyes are on Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck as they continue to move through 2024 as a married couple. Lopez turns 55 on Wednesday, July 24, 2024. To celebrate the big day, she had a Bridgerton-themed birthday party in the Hamptons in New York on Saturday, July 20, 2024.
Lopez spared no expense to make the party look like Regency-era England. She had a horse trailer valet, as well as waitstaff and security. Trucks with flowers and furniture arrived before the party began.
Lopez’s mother, Guadalupe Rodríguez, was spotted arriving at the birthday party in a blue gown with white lace detailing. Women arrived in ball gowns and long gloves, while the men wore fitted breeches and tailcoats.
Lopez posted a series of photos of herself to Instagram on Saturday, July 20, 2024. The photos show her smiling with makeup on and nails down. She’s wearing a white tank top and gold jewelry. “Today is gonna be a great day,” she captioned the post. “Happy Saturday everybody.”
Ben Affleck remained on the West Coast amid reports that the couple has ‘deeper issues’
Ben Affleck didn’t attend Jennifer Lopez’s birthday party in the Hamptons. He stayed on the West Coast in Los Angeles as his wife celebrated on the East Coast in New York. Lopez and Affleck have been on separate coasts for the entire month of July.
A source told People in July 2024 that Affleck and Lopez have “deeper issues” in their marriage than some fans know. “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 explained. “There are deeper issues.”
Affleck has publicly acknowledged his distaste for the spotlight in the past. While Lopez adores her fans and enjoys fame, Affleck avoids the media. However, if fans believe recent insiders, their issues stem from more than just their fame preference.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez allegedly have ‘no plans’ to announce their future divorce
Fans anxiously await Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s official divorce announcement. However, a source told Fox News that the announcement is likely not coming to the public anytime soon. While the couple allegedly doesn’t plan on rekindling their flame for a third time, they’re keeping their issues out of the public eye.
“They are not getting back together,” an insider explained. “They have no plans to announce that they aren’t a couple right now. J.Lo wanted to make it work really badly; he’s just a different person to her now.”
In June 2024, another source told OK! Magazine that Affleck feels “upset and depressed” about the end of his marriage. “Jennifer was Ben’s dream woman,” the source explained. “It was drama all the time. He’s feeling down about it and is upset and depressed it didn’t work out even though he knows ending it is the right thing to do.”
