How Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Spent Their Anniversary Separately

As I delve deeper into the captivating story of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s rollercoaster romance, I can’t help but marvel at the rich tapestry of their experiences that has brought them back together after nearly two decades.


Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez can hear it in the silence. 

On their second wedding anniversary, July 16, the actors from “Good Will Hunting” and “Hustlers,” who have faced separation speculation in recent times, kept their celebrations low-key. Instead of making a scene, they spent the day separately, each on different coasts.

Jennifer, who is a mother to 16-year-old twins Emme and Max with her ex Marc Anthony, spent her day in the Hamptons. She wore a casual beach outfit consisting of white overalls, brown flip flops, gold hoop earrings, and her hair tied up in a bun. Riding her bike through the town’s streets at 54 years old, with her wedding ring on, she later went for a drive in a vintage convertible with her manager Benny Medina.

At the same time, Ben, father of Violet (18), Seraphina (15), and Samuel (12) with his ex-partner Jennifer Garner, went about his routine in Los Angeles. The 51-year-old made an appearance on the West Coast wearing a gray suit and a white button-down shirt. True to form, Ben, a known Dunkin’ Donuts fan, held an unmarked cup of iced coffee and carried a black duffel bag with him.

Jennifer, who recently posted a video of herself celebrating with her stepdaughter Violet, chose not to acknowledge Ben and Jennifer’s anniversary on social media. Instead, she used the occasion to boost her J.Lo Beauty brand by advertising its Amazon Prime Day deals which took place from July 16-17.

J.Lo’s failure to acknowledge Ben on Instagram aligns with his preference for keeping a low social media profile. The director, who avoids public social media platforms, has previously expressed that his and J.Lo’s contrasting approaches to privacy in their relationship are notable.

 

After reuniting in 2021, Ben shared, “I told her, ‘Look, I don’t want our relationship to be just on social media,'” he expressed in “The Greatest Love Story Never Told.” “We both have unique ways, and it’s important for us to find a balance and adapt.”

 

Lately, over the past few months, there have been reports that Jennifer has been living separately from Ben and has even listed their $60.8 million house for sale. She’s remained silent about her personal matters, including marriage rumors, preferring not to engage in speculation as she stated at the May press event for “Atlas.”
