Jennifer Lopez is showcasing her resilience and determination following her breakup with Ben Affleck, using her 55th birthday as a chance to reset.
After reuniting in 2020 and tying the knot in 2022, the couple is set to part ways in 2024 due to conflicting approaches to handling the media and differences in their private lives.
Amidst this turmoil, the actor has moved out of their residence, and Lopez has chosen to forgo her wedding ring and other connections to the 51-year-old as they live separate lives.
“This year has been challenging with unforeseen realizations, changes, and hurdles,” a source shared with ET. “But Jen is seeing her 55th birthday as a fresh beginning.
She is determined not to let her situation with Ben dampen her spirits. Lopez is striving to maintain a positive outlook and focus on the positives in her life.”
Jennifer Lopez’s Birthday Celebration
The multi-talented artist celebrated her birthday on July 24 with a swimsuit photo on Instagram that flaunted her figure, a subtle reminder to Affleck. She then enjoyed a dinner outing with friends.
She spent the day in Bridgehampton, New York, alongside her son, a friend, and her longtime manager, while Affleck was notably absent.
“Lopez always enjoys her time on the East Coast,” the source added. “Especially in the summer, and being with friends and family who care for her has been comforting.”
Witnesses mentioned her happiness as she dined at Candy Kitchen with her companions and expressed gratitude to fans for their birthday wishes.
