Jennifer Lopez recently celebrated her 55th birthday with a fresh perspective, viewing it as a new beginning despite ongoing divorce rumors surrounding her marriage to Ben Affleck. The singer, known for hits like “On The Floor” and “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” chose to focus on the positive aspects of her life, surrounded by friends and family on the East Coast.
Despite facing unexpected challenges and changes over the past year, Lopez remains resilient and optimistic. She is determined not to let her relationship issues with Affleck dampen her spirits. The couple, who got married in July 2022, did not spend their 2-year wedding anniversary together, fueling speculation about the state of their union.
While neither Lopez nor Affleck have publicly addressed the rumors, sources suggest that their marriage has been on the rocks for some time. Lopez marked her birthday with a reflective Instagram post, captioning a selfie with “This Is Me…Now ??.”
During her birthday celebrations, Lopez enjoyed a festive lunch at an Italian eatery in Bridgehampton, joined by her manager, Benny Medina, her twins Max and Emme, and her sister Lynda. Notably absent was Affleck, further raising questions about their relationship status.
Prior to the lunch, Lopez hosted a “Bridgerton”-themed soirée in the Hamptons, where guests dressed in elegant attire and were greeted by a horse-drawn carriage. The event was attended by her mother Guadalupe Rodríguez and actress Sarah Jessica Parker, showcasing Lopez’s flair for extravagant celebrations.
