Jennifer Lopez prepares for 55th birthday party in the Hamptons with a horse and buggy plus a van full of flowers... with Ben Affleck across the country amid their marriage woes

As someone who has followed the lives of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck closely over the years, I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness reading about their recent marital troubles and the decision to sell their Bel Air mansion. The couple, who first fell in love while filming “Jersey Girl” in 2002, have always seemed to be a match made in Hollywood heaven. But their relationship has been far from smooth sailing, with multiple breakups and makeups over the years.


As a seasoned event planner with years of experience under my belt, I can tell you that preparations for Jennifer Lopez’ 55th birthday bash in the Hamptons were progressing smoothly this Saturday afternoon, despite the ongoing media frenzy surrounding her marital issues with Ben Affleck.

I were heartbroken as I celebrated my second wedding anniversary alone this time, with my beloved husband being stuck in California, while I enjoyed my vacation on the charming East Coast.

It seems she’ll spend her upcoming birthday with Affleck in another part of the country, amidst whispers of potential divorce.

She looked ready for her party before her actual 54th birthday on Wednesday, which took place over the weekend instead.

At her party location, you could see a big flower-laden van pulling up, while a horse-drawn buggy seemed to have been engaged for the event as well.

It’s possible that Lopez hired expensive furniture from the renowned brand Serena & Lily for the party, as a truck from their company was present at the event.

Staff members, clad in black attire, were noticeable as they congregated by the valet station during the preparations on site.

Since June 5, there have been no reported sightings of Ben with Jennifer. However, on Friday, he was observed in California in the company of his kids.

Last weekend in the Hamptons, eighteen-year-old Violet, who is his eldest daughter he shares with Jennifer Garner, was seen paying a visit to Lopez.

DailyMail.com received exclusive information that Affleck and Lopez’s kids have been secretly involved in efforts to mend their relationship.

According to the source, the children strongly believe that Jennifer and Ben are deeply connected as if they were meant for each other. They hope that the couple will find a way to overcome their difficulties rather than getting a divorce. In essence, they want them to honor their marriage vows and stay together through thick and thin.

The source added that they believe both parties should keep communicating through counseling, despite the discomfort. They hope that by expressing themselves correctly, they might achieve greater tranquility between them.

The kids were reportedly wishing for Affleck and Lopez to reconcile before the singer turns 55 on July 24.

On Saturday morning, as Lopez began preparing for her celebrations, she shared a bright and happy self-portrait on Instagram with the caption: “Today is going to be an amazing day.”

According to sources close to the matter, DailyMail.com reports that Lopez is putting in great effort to save her marriage.

I’ve heard from reliable sources that their recent separation has only deepened their affection for one another. This newfound realization has strengthened their commitment to work through their issues and keep their relationship alive.

I’ve been following the news about my favorite celebrity couple closely, and it seems they listed their stunning $60million home just recently. The last time we saw them together in the media was on June 2. Lately, they have missed out on several significant events such as Mother’s Day and their second wedding anniversary. Sadly, there have been persistent rumors that their romance, which appeared to be rekindled not too long ago, might be heading towards a divorce.

Instead of this: “But Lopez, 54, has made a deliberate attempt to prioritize their combined family and has suspended professional engagements to revive their relationship.”

According to our source, Jennifer currently harbors optimism towards saving her marriage with Ben. (DailyMail.com exclusive)

If she wasn’t trying to work things out with him or wasn’t on the right track, she wouldn’t be spending time with his children acting as their mother.

An source close to the situation revealed that Ben and Jennifer had deliberately kept their distance this summer to assess the strength of their connection.

The source stated that after providing room for reflection, their love for one another has been affirmed.

Jennifer has paused her professional commitments to attend to the repairs. She’s aware that her career and fame had sometimes created a rift in her marriage.

Based on my understanding of the text, I believe that the speaker is expressing empathy towards a woman who is striving to maintain a normal life despite her wealth and fame. It seems she understands that material possessions are not the only values in life and recognizes the importance of being a good mother. The speaker also conveys concern for the woman’s fear that it might be too late for her to make amends or live a simpler life. This is a common concern among individuals who have achieved significant success early in their lives, but later realize they may have missed out on important aspects of personal growth and relationships. The text reflects a deep appreciation for the complexities and challenges of balancing wealth, fame, motherhood, and personal fulfillment.

Despite this, an insider noted that Affleck had similarly erred, explaining, “People close to her have reassured her that she isn’t the only one at fault, as Ben can be challenging too.”

In the past, DailyMail.com reported that I, J.Lo, had been sharing my concerns with Jennifer Garner, my husband’s ex-wife. However, as things between Ben and I became more complicated, Jen felt she could no longer act as an informal go-between and chose to distance herself from the situation, finding it too chaotic for her comfort.

She continues to keep in touch with Garner frequently, and his assistance has been invaluable.

Jennifer remains deeply thankful for her assistance, noted the source, despite her ex-helper stepping away. However, Jennifer’s unique ability to connect with her former spouse proved invaluable – none could match her impact.

Affleck and Garner share three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. 

Meanwhile, Lopez shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony. 

Their blended family appeared to be at risk of falling apart when Affleck left their Californian mansion for a $100,000-per-month rental place close to his ex-wife.

Only a few short weeks had passed, and I, as a lifestyle expert, found myself helping my clients prepare their stunning mansion for sale. We set an asking price of a breathtaking $65 million and started discreetly marketing the property. Simultaneously, we began the delicate process of selling some of the exquisite art pieces that adorned the walls, carefully selecting each piece to be offered at prestigious auctions.

The insider disclosed that the couple decided to sell their Bel Air mansion as they didn’t feel secure there and had difficulty considering it as their home for their family.

According to the source, Jennifer and Ben chose to put their house on the market as neither they nor their children felt a strong sense of belonging there.

The size of it made them uneasy, and its expansiveness gave them a sense of unease at times. Although they had constant security, there was an unsettling feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

The insider mentioned that Affleck seemed uneasy about living in the mansion, which may explain why he hurriedly removed his belongings a month ago.

I felt an even stronger dislike for the house than Jennifer did. When issues arose in our marriage, I found myself growing weary of it all much faster than she did.

‘The amount of money it costs just in utilities for that home was astronomical.’

The romantic journey of the pair started in the year 2002 as they went out together during the production of the film “Jersey Girl.” They announced their engagement by the end of that year, but unfortunately, they parted ways in 2004.

In the spring of 2021, they brought joy to fans by reigniting their relationship. Later in July 2022, they got married in a low-key ceremony in Las Vegas. A grand wedding reception took place at his estate in August 2022.

The pair were seen in different parts of the country, apparently unable to celebrate their second anniversary together on July 16th.

In LA, a beaming Affleck was seen, clad in a suit, heading to work with an oversized iced coffee in hand and a bulky duffel bag under his arm. Meanwhile, Lopez and their 18-year-old daughter Violet were enjoying time together in the Hamptons.

Moving forward, the duo intends to collaborate once again as Lopez is slated to feature in two forthcoming films, “Unstoppable” and “Kiss Of The Spider Woman,” produced by Artists Equity, the production company of Affleck and Damon.
