Ben Affleck, our beloved 51-year-old actor and director of “AIR” fame, was recently seen navigating the wild terrains of a Los Angeles parking garage. His mission? A high-stakes meeting at his office on a casual Sunday, July 21. And, oh boy, did he dress for the part! Ben strutted in wearing a navy suit so sharp it could slice through a red carpet.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the country, Ben’s superstar wife Jennifer Lopez was busy throwing the party of the century in The Hamptons. Celebrating her 55th birthday, J.Lo went all out with a Bridgerton-themed bash that would make even Queen Charlotte jealous. Think horse-drawn carriages, regal floral displays, and enough lavish furniture to make Buckingham Palace look like a starter home.
Jennifer’s mom, Guadalupe Rodriguez, stole the spotlight in a powder blue dress with white lace detailing. She looked so royal, she probably had people bowing as she walked in. Photos and videos from The Daily Mail captured every extravagant detail, from the glitzy decorations to the parade of fabulously dressed guests.
However, in a plot twist worthy of a telenovela, Ben and his three kids were notably absent from Jennifer’s royal celebration. Multiple sources whispered to People magazine that the Affleck squad had other plans. Maybe they were busy saving Gotham or just trying to find a parking spot as good as Ben’s.
Adding to the drama, July 16th marked Ben and Jennifer’s second wedding anniversary. But did they spend it together, gazing into each other’s eyes? Nope. Jennifer was partying it up in The Hamptons, while Ben was probably still trying to figure out L.A. traffic.
Rumors of tension between the couple have been swirling like a Hollywood tornado. Earlier this month, they listed their marital home for sale, and Ben moved into a rental property. Because nothing says “marital bliss” like separate living arrangements and a For Sale sign in the yard.
So, while J.Lo was living her best Bridgerton life, Ben was out there proving that even Batman has to attend boring office meetings.
