Here’s What Ben Affleck Was Up to During J.Lo’s 55th Birthday Party

In case you missed it due to spiraling over *glances around* everything, Jennifer Lopez threw herself a fabulous-looking Bridgerton-themed 55th birthday party over the weekend—complete with period costumes and horse-drawn carriages.

And while J.Lo’s party had a pretty stacked guest list, one person who didn’t attend? Ben Affleck. The couple have been semi-estranged all summer as Jennifer spends time in the Hamptons and Ben chills across the country in Los Angeles—and if you’re wondering what he was getting up to during his wife’s big moment, Page Six got their hands on multiple photos of him...running errands.

As a reminder, Ben and Jen also spent their second wedding anniversary apart, and Ben didn’t join his wife during her trip to Europe earlier this summer. However! They’re both still wearing wedding rings. In fact, here’s J.Lo wearing hers yesterday, July 22, while leaving the gym:

Meanwhile, J.Lo was supported by family at her birthday party—including her mom Guadalupe Rodríguez, who’s reportedly eager for her to file for divorce.

A source recently told the Daily Mail, “Jennifer’s mom told her, ‘Cut your losses and move on to avoid getting any deeper in this mess.’ She told her that she’s wasted years believing that Ben was some kind of knight in shining armor. He was not the person she built him up to be. It’s taken too much of a toll on her and because of this, she has lost sight of who she is and what she stands for.”
