Jennifer Lopez Throws Lavish 'Bridgerton'-Themed Party for Her 55th Birthday — Without Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez celebrated her birthday with a Bridgerton-themed costume party. Her husband Ben Affleck, with whom she is rumored to be divorcing, was not at the party.

The singer turned 55 on Wednesday, July 24, but she celebrated over the weekend, where she dressed up as Queen Charlotte from the TV series Bridgerton: she wore a ball gown with a corset embroidered with gold details. She posted a video of the celebration on her Instagram*. It captured several moments from the party: a string quartet performing, a carriage pulled by a white horse, and a multi-tiered cake with Jennifer Lopez blowing out the candles. All the guests wore Regency costumes.

Jennifer Lopez later changed into a mint green dress and accessorized her regal look with white gloves, a gold necklace, and voluminous hair. Her 16-year-old son Max was at the party, as was the singer's manager Benny Medina, but Ben Affleck, with whom she is apparently planning to divorce, was not there: insiders claim that they have not lived together since March.

This is not the couple's first attempt at building a relationship: the first failed in the 2000s, when they broke off their engagement a few weeks before the wedding. This time, they tried to save their marriage, and Affleck's ex-wife Jennifer Garner even tried to help them, but insiders believe that she eventually got tired of it.

Amid rumors of divorce, Jennifer Lopez, as fans noted, has noticeably lost weight, and Affleck has started drinking again. Insiders claim that Lopez is upset that the press often calls her the culprit of the breakup, since Affleck was often sad in public around her, and smiled without her. "Everyone around J. Lo thinks it's unfair that she is considered the culprit. Just look at Ben's behavior to understand what kind of anger management issues he has," the source said.
