Jennifer Lopez’s mother Guadalupe dons ballgown as she arrives to daughter’s 55th birthday bash – but pop star’s husband Ben Affleck ‘was missing from the celebrations’ amid split rumors

As someone who has followed the lives of Hollywood celebrities for years, I can’t help but be intrigued by the latest developments between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. The on-again, off-again couple, who first met while filming “Jersey Girl” in 2002, have been making headlines once again after they sold their shared California mansion earlier this year.


I had the pleasure of attending Jennifer Lopez’s magnificent 55th birthday bash in the Hamptons last weekend. To everyone’s delight, her dear mother Guadalupe Rodriguez graced us with her radiant presence, making a stunning entrance that truly added to the glamour of the event.

As an obsessed fan, I couldn’t help but be in awe as I watched Rodriguez gracefully make her entrance at the Bridgerton-themed party. Clad in a stunning light blue gown with a delicate lacy top that perfectly accentuated her figure, she truly stood out among the sea of other guests donning Victorian attire. The way the fabric flowed around her, and the gentle sparkle of the gown under the soft party lights, left me completely captivated.

With her hair casually curled and adorned with a collection of sparkling accessories, she looked breathtakingly beautiful.

I’ve heard from people that Ben Affleck, Jennifer’s spouse, wasn’t present at the recent party. Lately, there have been rumors swirling around about a possible divorce between us.

Recently, Lopez celebrated her second wedding anniversary sans her husband. He stayed behind in California, while she enjoyed her vacation on the East Coast.

Despite her birthday not officially taking place until next week on Wednesday when she will be 54, she seemed eager to celebrate earlier over the weekend.

On Saturday, a big flower-laden van made its way to the party site, and to add to the event’s charm, a horse-drawn buggy was also seen.

It’s possible that Lopez hired high-end furniture from Serena & Lily for the party, since a delivery truck from the luxury brand was present.

Staff members, clad in black attire, were noticeable huddled around the valet station as preparations on site progressed.

Since June 5, there have been no reported sightings of Ben with Jennifer. As late as this past Friday, he was observed in California in the company of his kids.

Last weekend in the Hamptons, 18-year-old Violet, his elder daughter whom he has with Jennifer Garner, paid a visit to Lopez.

DailyMail.com received exclusive information from a reliable source that Affleck and Lopez’s children 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 and meant for each other, akin to soulmates. They fervently hope that they can resolve their issues and stay together through thick and thin, as per their marriage promises.

The source added that they believe both parties should keep communicating and undergo counseling, despite the discomfort. They hold hope that by expressing themselves appropriately, harmony may prevail once more.

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

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 fantastic day.”

According to well-placed sources, DailyMail.com reports, Lopez is putting in great effort to save her marriage.

According to reports, their time spent apart has only deepened their affection for one another, making them more resolved to keep their relationship from ending.

More recently, the couple, who put up their $60million house for sale, were last seen together on June 2. They have been separated for significant events such as Mother’s Day and their wedding anniversary, fueling rumors that their reconciled relationship is headed for a divorce.

Instead of this: “But Lopez, 54, has made a deliberate attempt to prioritize their combined family and has suspended work obligations to aid in reviving their relationship.”

A source shared with DailyMail.com on an exclusive basis that Jennifer currently harbors optimism about saving her marriage to Ben.

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

An inside source revealed that Ben and Jennifer had deliberately kept their summer separation to assess the strength of their feelings for each other.

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

Jennifer has paused her professional commitments to dedicate time to mending the harm. She is aware that her career and renown sometimes created a barrier in her marriage.

I strongly believe that being a good parent and living a normal life are priceless experiences that go beyond riches and fame. Speaking from my own perspective as someone who has navigated the complexities of both wealth and motherhood, I can attest to the profound impact they have on one’s personal growth. It’s easy to get caught up in the glamour and material possessions that come with success, but the simple joys of raising a child and living an authentic life are immeasurable. And as someone who has had my fair share of challenges, I can also empathize with the fear of it being too late to truly appreciate these experiences. So, I urge everyone, regardless of their circumstances, to cherish the moments they have and not take for granted the power of being a good mom and a normal person.

Nevertheless, an insider revealed that Affleck too had committed errors. They mentioned, “People close to her have reassured her that she isn’t the only one at fault, as Ben can be challenging as well.”

Previously, DailyMail.com reported that Lopez had been sharing her concerns with Jennifer Garner, her husband’s ex-wife. However, Garner eventually decided to withdraw from acting as an informal intermediary between Lopez and her husband due to her unwillingness to be involved in the ongoing drama surrounding them.

She continues to keep in touch closely with Garner, who has been instrumental in making things better for her.

Jennifer remains deeply thankful for her assistance, noted the source, despite the fact that she has since reduced her involvement. However, it was Jennifer who managed to reach her ex-husband in a way that no one else had been able to.

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. 

After Affleck left their California mansion to rent a place costing $100K a month close to his ex-wife, it seemed their blended family might be torn apart.

Approximately four weeks after, the house was discreetly put up for sale with a price tag of $65 million, while the duo started auctioning off some art pieces within the mansion.

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 our source, Jennifer and Ben came to the agreement that it was time for them, along with their children, to part ways with their current residence as none of them felt a strong sense of belonging there.

Although it was spacious, its vastness sometimes caused unease and discomfort. Despite having constant protection, an uncanny sense of insecurity lingered.

The insider mentioned that Affleck seemed uneasy about living in the mansion, which may have explained why he hastily removed his belongings just last month.

“In their crumbling marriage, Ben disliked the house even more than Jennifer did, making him quick to grow weary of the situation.”

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

Back in 2002, I was part of a dynamic duo who embarked on a romantic journey while working together on the set of “Jersey Girl.” Our connection sparked something magical, and we found ourselves falling in love amidst the chaos of film production. The next year, our bond grew even stronger as we made things official and got engaged. However, just like every love story isn’t without its ups and downs, we encountered some rough patches in 2004 which ultimately led to us going our separate ways.

In the spring of 2021, they brought joy to fans by reigniting their relationship. They got married in a quick and intimate ceremony in Las Vegas in July 2022. A month after that, they held a grand wedding reception at his estate in Georgia.

The pair were seen in different parts of the country instead of being together to celebrate their second anniversary on July 16, giving the impression that they had failed to do so.

In Los Angeles, a beaming Affleck was observed entering his workplace, clad in a suit and holding a big iced coffee and a bulging duffel bag. Meanwhile, Lopez and his eighteen-year-old daughter Violet were relaxing in the Hamptons.

Regardless of what follows, the duo intends to collaborate further as Lopez is slated to feature in two forthcoming films, “Unstoppable” and “Kiss Of The Spider Woman,” under Affleck and Damon’s production company, Artists Equity.
