Ben Affleck recently celebrated his 52nd birthday in a low-key fashion, opting for an intimate gathering with a close circle of friends and family, deviating from the typical Hollywood-style celebrations. His ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, was seen visiting his Brentwood home earlier in the day. Later, Jennifer Lopez, Affleck’s wife, joined him for a private celebration, though she remained silent about the occasion on social media. On August 15, Garner was seen visiting Affleck at his Brentwood rental, where the actor currently resides. Known for maintaining a friendly relationship post-divorce, the former couple’s interaction comes amid ongoing speculation about Affleck’s marriage to Jennifer Lopez.
Jennifer Garner was dressed casually in a striped white T-shirt and navy trousers, opting for a makeup-free look. Her choice of attire and accessories, including delicate silver earrings and an Apple Watch, suggested a low-key visit rather than a celebratory one. Garner’s visit to Affleck has sparked conversations, especially given her history of being supportive of Affleck during challenging times.

Lopez, who has been spending the summer apart from Affleck, kept her appearance casual yet stylish, donning a tan jacket and jeans. Despite her absence on social media for the birthday, she kept her followers engaged by posting glamorous throwback photos from her own birthday.
Affleck, who is currently filming Accountant 2, also recently purchased a $20 million home in Los Angeles, although he has not yet moved in. Reports have emerged suggesting tension between Lopez and Affleck, with rumors of an impending divorce circulating. The couple, who did not celebrate their second wedding anniversary together, have sparked further speculation about their relationship status.
Meanwhile, Lopez was living it up in the Hamptons last month with a Bridgerton-themed birthday party without Affleck, who also decided to skip their second wedding anniversary.
On the other hand, Jennifer Garner is reportedly concerned about Affleck and is trying to support his sobriety, believing that Lopez plays a crucial role in his well-being. As Affleck enters his 52nd year, he is said to be focusing on his three children with Garner: Violet, Fin, and Samuel.
