Jennifer Lopez’s recent birthday celebration was notably lacking the presence of her husband, Ben Affleck. Sources confirm that Affleck was absent from Lopez’s Bridgerton-themed party, held in the Hamptons on July 20. Lopez, who turns 55 on July 24, was surrounded by guests in royal-inspired attire, including her mother, Guadalupe RodrÃguez, dressed in a blue gown with white lace.
The couple, who married in a private Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, had previously celebrated with a larger event in Savannah, Georgia. This year, they spent their second wedding anniversary apart, with Lopez enjoying a bike ride in the Hamptons and Affleck spotted in Los Angeles at his office.
Affleck has largely remained on the West Coast due to his work on “The Accountant 2,” and his absence has been noticeable at various events, including the Met Gala and the premiere of Lopez’s film, “Atlas.” Lopez recently traveled to Europe alone, further highlighting their physical separation.
Reports suggest that the couple’s marriage is facing challenges, with sources indicating that their issues are not related to Lopez’s fame but rather deeper personal matters. Despite the ongoing difficulties, there is no indication that Affleck’s absence from recent events has been directly linked to their marital problems.
