Here’s what to know about Lopez’s 55th birthday party that Affleck didn’t attend, including her Instagram post.

Ben Affleck didn’t attend Jennifer Lopez’s birthday party in the Hamptons. He stayed on the West Coast in Los Angeles as his wife celebrated on the East Coast in New York. Lopez and Affleck have been on separate coasts for the entire month of July.
A source told People in July 2024 that Affleck and Lopez have “deeper issues” in their marriage than some fans know. “The idea that Ben thinks Jennifer is too famous and that he didn’t know what he was getting into with the attention on their marriage isn’t true,” a source explained. “There are deeper issues.”
Affleck has publicly acknowledged his distaste for the spotlight in the past. While Lopez adores her fans and enjoys fame, Affleck avoids the media. However, if fans believe recent insiders, their issues stem from more than just their fame preference.

While the couple allegedly doesn’t plan on rekindling their flame for a third time, they’re keeping their issues out of the public eye.
“They are not getting back together,” an insider explained. “They have no plans to announce that they aren’t a couple right now. J.Lo wanted to make it work really badly; he’s just a different person to her now.”
In June 2024, another source told OK! Magazine that Affleck feels “upset and depressed” about the end of his marriage. “Jennifer was Ben’s dream woman,” the source explained. “It was drama all the time. He’s feeling down about it and is upset and depressed it didn’t work out even though he knows ending it is the right thing to do.”
