For a while now, the relationship between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez has been showing signs of strain.
After rekindling their romance two decades later, the celebrity couple tied the knot to mark a love story more reminiscent of a Hollywood movie than reality.
However, recent signals point towards a possible separation, with Jennifer Lopez notably celebrating her birthday without Affleck in attendance.
On her 55th birthday, the singer and actress commemorated the occasion without her husband by her side.
JLo spent the day in the Hamptons, a renowned area in Long Island, New York, surrounded by family and friends at a lunch hosted at Arthur & Sons, a local restaurant in the vicinity.
As reported by Page Six, emotions ran high during the meal as the actress recollected past memories.

Guests included Benny Medina, her long-serving manager, her children Max and Emme, and her sister Lynda. Lopez donned a lovely white floral jumpsuit paired with sunglasses, perhaps to maintain a low profile.
Meanwhile, as Lopez marked her birthday throughout the weekend, Affleck remained in Los Angeles. Separated by great distances, their relationship is facing challenging times.
As per Page Six, JLo and her guests savored dishes like classic fried calamari, meatballs with ricotta, artichoke alla romano, salads, chicken parm, spicy rigatoni alla vodka, spaghetti aglio olio, lobster benedict, grilled salmon piccata over spinach, and more.
