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

I have closely followed the on-again, off-again relationship between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck over the past two decades. Their love story is one of the most intriguing and captivating in Hollywood, filled with highs and lows, triumphs and heartaches.


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

I, an avid fan and follower, had the pleasure of witnessing The Hustlers actress don a captivating one-piece swimsuit with a deep neckline. She accessorized this look with multiple stunning yellow gold jewelry pieces.

She didn’t wear any rings on her ring finger, which had been bare for the past two months since her separation from Ben Affleck, with whom she hadn’t been photographed.

An alternate rendering could be: In the picture, Lopez wears her wedding rings on the opposite hand, hidden from view by her head. The photograph was clearly chosen to keep the rings out of sight.

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

Within ten minutes of being posted, Kim Kardashian, Jenna Dewan, and Melissa Gorga each gave a “thumbs up” or liked the content.

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

Her hair is pulled back into a ponytail as she wears her nails long and white.

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

I hang out with my inner circle of 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 while in the Hamptons.

On Wednesday she had some deliveries to her Hamptons home.

At her mansion, there was delivered a compact Coca-Cola refrigerator filled with glass-bottled soft drinks, along with a beautiful arrangement of white blossoms from Sag Harbor Florist.

Lopez has been taking it easy following the cancellation of her Summer Greatest Hits tour, which is rescheduled to take place in 2025 instead.

August 20 marks their second marriage anniversary as a couple of Ben’s, yet it’s close to two months since their last public appearance together.

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

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

With arms wrapped around one another, the strong connection between the two was evident as they browsed the shops together.

It has been suggested that Jennifer and Ben have not yet filed for divorce; instead, they are reportedly making efforts to save their relationship in private.

According to a trusted source, DailyMail.com reports that the children – Violet, Fin, and Samuel belonging to him from his relationship with Jennifer Garner, and Max and Emme being hers from her marriage to Marc Anthony – are working on resolving their differences.

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 source close to the situation shared with DailyMail.com that Jen and Ben have decided to give each other some space to carefully consider their next steps in their relationship.

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

I remember a time in my life when I was deeply entrenched in a relationship that seemed to be at a crossroads. My partner and I had hit a rough patch, and it felt like we were on the brink of calling it quits. But there was something deep within us that refused to let go just yet. We both wanted to give it one last try before making the decision to walk away for good.

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

In 2021, during their reunion, he prepared a thoughtful gift for Jennifer Lopez by compiling their past correspondence into a bound book from letters and emails.

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

One point she emphasized stood out, reading: “The Untold Love Story of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck (2001-2010)… and still ongoing.”

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

I’ve got some exclusive insight: JLo won’t be sharing these letters with anyone this time around, they’re meant for her and Ben only. If they choose to continue their relationship, she’ll keep her romantic endeavors under wraps. Things are looking hopeful at the moment.

In the documentary, Affleck revealed that when they chose to reunite, he first asked for secrecy about their relationship at the beginning.

In response, he shared, “Upon reuniting, I expressed, ‘You know what I don’t desire is a romantic connection solely through social media.'”

As a lifestyle expert reflecting on this situation in the first person, I’d rephrase it as follows: “I came to understand that it wasn’t reasonable of me. It’s almost like imagining marrying a boat captain and then expressing my dislike for being near 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, and this apprehension was heightened by the extensive media attention they experienced during their initial stint in the limelight.

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

He adores me and recognizes my artistic nature, pledging to help me in any capacity he can as he understands that I cannot be hindered from creating the music I am passionate about… yet this doesn’t imply his comfortableness with being my constant source of inspiration.

In the closing days of 2002, the beloved duo, referred to as ‘Bennifer,’ became betrothed. However, they ended their engagement and eventually went their separate ways permanently by the year 2004.

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

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

“If they can identify what brought them back together before, then there’s a good chance that things will work out for the trio.”

Based on my personal experience and observation, I believe that when people say “They aren’t throwing in the towel,” it means they are not giving up easily on a situation or relationship, no matter how difficult it may be. Instead, they choose to face each day with determination and resilience, focusing on finding solutions rather than succumbing to despair. In this particular case, I imagine that the relationship in question is a marriage, and the couple is experiencing hardships. However, they are not ready to call it quits. They understand that every relationship goes through ups and downs, and they believe that with effort and commitment, they can overcome their challenges and grow stronger as a unit. So, they take things day by day, making the conscious decision to work on their issues and keep the marriage alive. Ultimately, I admire their perseverance and commitment to their partnership.

Over the weekend, Lopez had an early birthday celebration in the Hamptons with her manager Benny Medina and her sixteen-year-old twins Max and Emme. The event included a festive lunch, but Affleck was unable to make it.
