Jennifer Lopez wows in white playsuit as she celebrates 55th birthday in New York without Ben Affleck amid split rumours
BIRTHDAY girl Jennifer Lopez chooses a playful look as she points the way to celebrations with family and friends.
The singer and actress, who turns 55 tomorrow, had a weekend of fun, including a Bridgerton-themed party on Saturday in The Hamptons.
But while she enjoyed herself in New York state, actor husband Ben Affleck, 51, stayed 2,800 miles away.
Amid rumours of marriage troubles, he was instead pictured with his daughter Violet, 18, in LA.
They still wear their wedding rings — maybe papering over the cracks.
In May, the singer announced that she was cancelling the rest of the tour to spend more time with her family.
Sources revealed that the singer’s decision is due to a sensitive time in her personal life.
In a special message to her fans, Jennifer, 51, wrote, “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down.”
The Atlas actress continued, “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary.
“I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…”
Live Nation reps announced that the summer tour, This Is Me… Live, which was scheduled to begin June 26 in Orlando, Florida, was cancelled in a statement.
Amid her relationship turmoil, she has since reportedly warned Ben’s ex to stay away from him.
J-Lo and Ben's 'tensions'
By Teresa Roca
JENNIFER Lopez gushed love is “twenty years patient” when she wed Ben Affleck two decades after they called off their wedding in 2002, but now it seems their fairytale wasn’t worth the wait.
JLo, 54, and Ben, 51, had a whirlwind romance when they began dating in March 2002, as Ben proposed just four months later.
But in September of that year, the stars postponed their wedding just three days before, as they released in a statement: “When we found ourselves seriously contemplating hiring three separate ‘decoy brides’ at three different locations, we realised that something was awry.
“We began to feel that the spirit of what should have been the happiest day of our lives could be compromised.”
They ultimately announced their split in January 2004 after 18 months together.
Jennifer married singer Marc Anthony six months later and welcomed twins Emme and Max, now 16, before their divorce in 2014.
Ben went on to tie the knot with actress Jennifer Garner, who he shares three children with, in 2005. They divorced in 2018.
After a series of relationships, they reunited in 2021 and eloped in Las Vegas at the Little White Wedding Chapel.
They then had a second wedding at Ben’s $7million Georgia mansion.
During their marriage, fans have noticed tension between the couple.
During a coffee run last year, Ben seemed “miserable” and appeared to slam a car door while helping Jen into the passenger seat.
The singer was even caught on camera seemingly snapping at Ben at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
And now the love story appears to have officially ended. Ben has reportedly moved out of their $47million Beverly Hills mansion, as Jennifer was seen house hunting.
The couple hasn’t been seen together in seven weeks and during their last public outing, they appeared tense.
JLo even attended the Met Gala without Ben earlier this month.
