Ben Affleck turned 52 yesterday (August 15), but Jennifer Lopez spent the day focusing on herself.
The singer posted a series of photos from her own birthday celebration last month—a party that, notably, Ben Affleck did not attend.
His absence might have been due to him being preoccupied with purchasing a new bachelor pad amidst ongoing rumors of their possible divorce.
Interestingly, J.Lo was also seen dancing at a Bruno Mars concert last night, where, as Pop Crave aptly observed, she seemed to be enjoying herself to the fullest.
So, what did Ben do on his birthday while J.Lo was reflecting on her own or dancing the night away? He opted for an “intimate” celebration, spending the day with “close friends and family.”
Despite the current state of their relationship, J.Lo and Ben appear to be on speaking terms. The singer was spotted at Ben’s house just a few days earlier on August 11 and also spent time with his son, Samuel.
“Just because she’s not with Ben doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about his kids,” a source told.
“She’s always cared about them. Last year, she spent months searching for the perfect house for their blended family.
Now that she’s back in L.A., she wants to spend quality time with them before school starts and Violet heads off to college.”
The insider also mentioned, “The kids are still on summer break. [Ben] spends a lot of time with them too. It hasn’t been the easiest summer for him, but he’s trying to stay focused and make each day as positive as possible.”
