Jennifer Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday with a lavish Bridgerton-themed party in the Hamptons, but the event was overshadowed by the absence of her husband, Ben Affleck.

The Hustlers star officially turned 55 on Wednesday, July 24, but chose to celebrate over the weekend. Lopez presided over the festivities while channeling the spirit of Queen Charlotte of Bridgerton.

The star-studded event, with friends and family joining her in celebrating.

However, Affleck’s notable absence raised concerns and fueled rumors of a finalized divorce.

Two years into their marriage, Lopez and Affleck’s relationship turned rocky.

The whispers began when Affleck was absent when his wife co-chaired the Met Gala on May 6. A representative told PEOPLE and other outlets he was filming The Accountant 2 in Los Angeles.

Jen and Ben were last photographed together on March 30. Although reports have noted that J.Lo has been working on films and the Met Gala, whereas Affleck has been filming the oh-so-important Accountant 2. The couple has been photographed apart, though both were still wearing their wedding rings as of May 16.

However, earlier this week, the actor was spotted in Los Angeles without his wedding ring.

And Jennifer Lopez also announced her birthday with a mirror selfie flaunting her left hand without her shiny diamond-encrusted wedding band, further adding to the speculation.

Despite rumors of a divorce from Ben Affleck, the birthday girl appeared to enjoy her special day, planning a memorable celebration that perfectly blended elegance and fun in the way she knows how.

Guests dressed extravagantly to match the party’s royal theme. Jennifer surprised her guests by taking the microphone and entertaining them with her voice. Throughout the evening, Lopez was the center of attention, with the tulle layers of her gown as they danced around her.

JLo and Affleck have yet to address the divorce rumors. Their second wedding anniversary was on July 16, and they spent it on opposite coasts. Ben appears to have spent it in Los Angeles while Jennifer was in the Hamptons of New York.
