Jennifer Lopez sees 55th birthday as ‘fresh start’ amid Ben Affleck divorce rumors: report

Jennifer Lopez is embracing a new perspective as she turns 55.

The iconic singer, who celebrated her birthday on Wednesday, views her new age as a chance for a “fresh start,” as reported by ET.

Despite ongoing divorce rumors surrounding her marriage to Ben Affleck, Lopez marked her milestone birthday surrounded by friends and family in the Hamptons.

According to a source, Lopez is focusing on the positive aspects of her life and trying to maintain a hopeful outlook amid challenges and changes.

Lopez is enjoying her time on the East Coast during the summer and is grateful for the love and support of her close ones during this period.

Reflecting on the past year, which has been filled with unexpected twists and turns, Lopez is determined to approach her 55th year with a fresh mindset and not let her relationship status with Ben Affleck affect her spirits.

Page Six has reached out to Lopez’s representatives for any comments on the matter.

Lopez and Affleck, who got married in July 2022, did not celebrate their 2-year wedding anniversary together on July 16, fueling further speculation about the status of their marriage.

While neither party has publicly addressed the divorce rumors, a source close to the couple revealed to Page Six that their relationship has been on the rocks for months.

Despite the absence of any public acknowledgment from Affleck on Lopez’s birthday, the singer shared a birthday selfie on Instagram with her followers.

“This Is Me…Now 🎂,” she captioned a mirror selfie of herself in a one-piece swimsuit.

Lopez has been enjoying her summer in the Hamptons, celebrating her birthday with a festive lunch surrounded by loved ones.

During the birthday lunch at Arthur & Sons in Bridgehampton, Lopez was joined by her manager Benny Medina, her twins Max and Emme, and her sister Lynda, while Ben Affleck was notably absent.

Prior to the birthday lunch, Lopez hosted a “Bridgerton”-themed party in the Hamptons, where guests dressed up in elegant attire for a night of celebration.

Guests, including Lopez’s mother Guadalupe Rodríguez and actress Sarah Jessica Parker, were treated to a grand entrance with a horse-drawn carriage before joining the festivities.
