Jennifer Lopez posts a stunning swimsuit selfie on her 55th birthday as she appears wedding-ring free... after MONTHS apart from Ben Affleck

As someone who has followed the tumultuous love story of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck over the years, I cannot help but be in awe of their resilience and determination to make their relationship work. Their romance, which began in the early 2000s, was marked by intense media scrutiny and high-profile breakups, yet they have managed to find their way back to each other.


Jennifer Lopez posted a stunning photo on her 55th birthday on Wednesday.

In a casual, clear style: At the beach, the Actress from Hustlers donned a deep-cut one-piece swimsuit and accessorized with multiple yellow gold items of jewelry.

I haven’t seen my husband Ben Affleck by my side or on the tabloids for the past two months. Consequently, my ring finger felt bare and empty without its usual adornments.

As an obsessed fan, I can’t help but notice the intricacies of every detail in Jennifer Lopez’s images. But even if her wedding rings appear reversed with her hand hidden behind her head, she manages to keep us guessing. The photograph must have been meticulously chosen to ensure those dazzling rocks remain unseen.

Her caption read, ‘This is Me… Now’ with a cake emoji.

The image was taken during her vacation in Capri earlier this month with her pals. 

Lopez has been in the Hamptons for weeks without Ben who is in LA.

She hangs out with her friends including manager Benny Medina, stylist Shawn “Beezy” Barton, vocal coach Stevie Mackey, and personal photographer Ana Carballosa.

The Atlas actress still wears her wedding band from her husband in the Hamptons.

Lopez has been taking it easy following the cancellation of her summer tour titled “Greatest Hits,” which is rescheduled to happen in 2025 instead.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d suggest paraphrasing it this way: On August 20th, it will mark the two-year anniversary for me and my husband Ben. Regrettably, we haven’t shared a public appearance or posted a picture of us together in nearly two months.

The last time they were seen together was in early June at his son Samuel’s basketball game.

Lopez was seen with Ben’s oldest child, Violet, during her visit to the Hamptons where Lopez was performing.

They appeared closely connected as they were spotted with embracing arms while out shopping together.

It’s been suggested that neither Jennifer nor Ben have formally filed for divorce; instead, they’re reportedly making efforts to save their relationship privately.

I’ve recently learned from a reliable insider that the blended family I belong to, which includes my children Violet, Fin, and Samuel from my relationship with Jennifer Garner, and Max and Emme who are Marc Anthony’s kids, are making efforts to heal any existing rifts. We’re all working towards strengthening our bonds as a family.

Still, their Bel Air mansion is sitting on the market for $68M with no takers yet.

Another source has told DailyMail.com that talks are underway.

They are working to save their union by keeping their love life out of the spotlight.

An insider shared with DailyMail.com that Jen and Ben have decided to give themselves some space to thoroughly consider their desires.

‘They were ready to throw in the towel. Divorce papers are done and ready to be filed. 

Instead of starting anew by writing letters, they chose to rekindle their feelings by exchanging one final set before deciding to part ways. This was the method that initially brought them close.

In her movie “The Greatest Love Story Never Told,” Lopez revealed that Affleck had given her a large collection of love letters. During his 13-year union with Jennifer Garner, Affleck kept these heartfelt messages close.

In 2021, when they reconnected, he compiled their past correspondence – the letters and emails – and turned it into a book as a present for Jennifer Lopez.

She mentioned in the documentary that this book was a gift Ben gave her during our first Christmas reunion, twenty years ago. Its pages contain all the letters and emails we exchanged back then.

One point she emphasized stood out, which was titled: “The Untold Love Story of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck (2001-2010)…” and continues.

But her latest love letters to Affleck will not be made public.

“According to my source, JLo has made up her mind not to share these letters with anyone, including you and me. She intends to keep her relationship with Ben private. If they choose to stay together, she will continue to do so. At the moment, things are looking hopeful.”

In my experience as a lifestyle expert, I’ve come across situations where reviving a relationship calls for discretion at first. When Affleck and I made the decision to give our bond another try, I suggested we keep it under wraps for a while.

In response, I shared, “You know what I’m not keen on? A relationship that plays out solely on social media.”

“Suddenly, I came to understand that it wasn’t right to make such a request. It’s like asking to marry a boat captain and then expressing dislike for the water.”

He added: ‘We’re just two people with different kinds of approaches trying to learn to compromise.’

Lopez was aware of her husband’s discomfort with their public image as a couple, magnified by the extensive media attention they received during their earlier stint in the limelight.

‘I don’t think [Ben] is very comfortable with me doing all of this,’ she said.

He acknowledges my artistic nature and adores me, assuring me of his unwavering support in all ways possible. However, being the source of inspiration for my music isn’t a role he finds easy or comfortable with.

In the closing days of 2002, Bennifer – the beloved nickname for the pair – became engaged. However, they ended their engagement and eventually parted ways completely by the end of 2004.

In July 2021, they reconnected, and the next year saw them exchanging “I dos” for the first time in Las Vegas, followed by a second wedding ceremony at Affleck’s residence in Georgia during August.

An outside report suggested that their marriage is facing difficulties, yet emphasized that they still hold strong feelings of love for one another.

“If they can figure out what brought them back together before, then there’s a good chance that their third attempt will succeed,” they suggested.

Based on my personal experience and observation of people going through difficult times, I believe that when someone says “They aren’t throwing in the towel,” it means they are not giving up easily on their marriage or situation, despite the challenges they face. Instead, they choose to take things one day at a time, focusing on making it through each moment as best they can. They may be holding on to hope for improvement or change, and aren’t ready to call it quits by getting divorced. This mindset requires immense courage and resilience, and I have seen it lead to positive outcomes in some cases. However, every situation is unique, and ultimately the outcome depends on the individuals involved and their willingness to work through their issues.

Over the weekend, Lopez held an early 55th birthday celebration in the Hamptons, which was attended by her manager Benny Medina and her 16-year-old twins Max and Emme. Affleck did not join the lunch.
