Jennifer Garner was spotted at her ex-husband Ben Affleck’s Brentwood home on Thursday, where the Oscar-winning actor celebrated his 52nd birthday.
The actress, who has three children with Ben – Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12 – was seen leaving his house in her sleek BMW and waving to him as she left.
The 52-year-old actress went for a casual and chic look, with her hair combed back into a ponytail and glasses on her face.
Ben and Jennifer, who were married from 2005 to 2018, maintain a friendly relationship as co-parents and often care for their children together despite their separation.
While Ben celebrated his milestone birthday, his current wife Jennifer Lopez conspicuously refrained from posting any congratulatory messages on social media.
Instead, she shared a series of glamorous snaps from her own 55th birthday party in the Hamptons last month.
The Atlas actress looked stunning in the pictures, showing off her toned legs in a sexy dress as she posed confidently in front of a car. Her hair was styled in a playful ponytail and she accessorized with diamond earrings and a pearl-studded handbag.
The stunning photos were posted on her Instagram page, which has a huge fan base of 251 million followers.
Fans quickly speculated that the timing of the post could have been a subtle message to Ben
In addition to the photos, Jennifer posted a new video on her JLo Beauty Instagram page promoting her skincare line. The former Fly Girl is sitting in a hotel room, wearing a colorful bathrobe and conspicuously missing her wedding rings.
In the video, she demonstrated how to use her face mask, which she said has a “tightening and firming” effect. After removing the mask, Lopez revealed her flawless, makeup-free complexion, free of wrinkles or blemishes, much to the admiration of her followers.
Just days before Ben’s birthday, Jennifer Lopez was spotted visiting his Brentwood rental home after going to the mall with her son.
This sighting further fueled speculation about the state of their marriage, especially since rumors of marital problems between the couple have been circulating for months.
The visit comes after Affleck recently made headlines with the purchase of a $20 million home in the upscale Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
The property features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a media room and a guest house, according to TMZ. It is significantly smaller than the sprawling Beverly Hills mansion he purchased with Jennifer Lopez last year, which featured 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, a 12-car garage and numerous luxury amenities, including a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse, a caretaker’s house, a two-bedroom guardhouse, a pool and an indoor sports complex.
The Beverly Hills estate, which the couple purchased in May 2023, was put on the market last month for a whopping $68 million.
The decision to sell the mansion, coupled with Jennifer Lopez’s recent social media activity and the couple’s separate appearances, have only increased speculation about the future of their relationship.
