Jennifer Lopez kept her ring finger hidden as she celebrated her birthday in the Hamptons on Monday amid her marital problems with Ben Affleck.
The superstar, who turns 55 on Wednesday, was spotted in the posh Long Island neighborhood just days after hosting a Bridgerton-themed birthday party that her estranged husband didn’t attend.
The actress and singer wore a light pink sports bra and matching pants and appeared to hide her wedding ring finger beneath the oversized sleeves of her fuzzy white designer dress.
She flashed her huge smile and showed off her toned abs, keeping a low profile in dark designer sunglasses.
The seaside getaway comes after reports that Jlo celebrated her milestone with her 16-year-old son Max, her mother Guadalupe Rodriguez, her sister Lynda, manager Benny Medina and more at Italian restaurant Arthur & Sons in Bridgehampton, New York, on Sunday.

The superstar, who turns 55 on Wednesday, was spotted in the posh Long Island neighborhood just days after hosting a Bridgerton-themed birthday party that her estranged husband didn’t attend.
The luncheon was attended by a “very intimate audience, who shared many heartfelt stories,” said chef Joe Isidori People“They had a great time.”
He added: ‘At the table, she and her guests were saying, “This food is amazing!” and Jennifer was like, “Okay? I know!” Our team sang her a chorus of ‘Happy Birthday.’ It was really fun.’
The Hamptons jaunt also coincides with the 51-year-old Batman actor being spotted elsewhere in the country in Los Angeles for business meetings.
The former Good Will Hunting filmmaker appeared to be in high spirits as he walked through the parking garage, despite mounting concerns over the superstar couple’s marital status.
The handsome matinee idol looked dapper in a classic black suit with a navy shirt. He carried his beloved iced coffee and a black gym bag for the morning outing.
He flashed a glimpse of his megawatt smile as he entered the building’s lobby, before disappearing into an elevator.
The office visit follows Ben’s weekend on the West Coast, while his wife JLo celebrated her 55th birthday with a party in the Hamptons.
The event saw numerous guests arrive in royal attire, including Lopez’s mother, Guadalupe Rodríguez, who wore a blue dress with white lace detailing.
JLo also recently celebrated her second wedding anniversary without her husband. He stayed in California while she vacationed on the East Coast.
Ben’s business meetings take place after he is seen wearing his wedding ring at his ex Jennifer Garner’s house.
The Batman actor, who shares Violet, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with the Alias veteran, 52, looked tense as he gripped the steering wheel of his Rivian SUV and glanced down at his wedding ring.

On Saturday morning, as preparations for her festivities got underway, Lopez posted a beaming selfie on Instagram, writing, “Today is gonna be an amazing day.”
Dressed in a yellow T-shirt and sipping a soda, the handsome matinee idol cruised through the posh Brentwood neighborhood after attending several business meetings over the past few days.
The visit to Garner’s home comes amid rumors that Ben and JLo’s marital problems have nothing to do with her status as a global superstar.
“The idea that Ben thinks Jennifer is too famous and that he didn’t know what he was getting into with the attention surrounding their marriage is not true,” a source told People on Friday.
“There are deeper problems,” they added.
The couple, who have not been photographed together in two months, appear to be celebrating their second wedding anniversary separately amid rumors of divorce.
On Tuesday, July 16, Ben was spotted laughing in Los Angeles on his way to the office, while Jennifer enjoyed a trip to The Hamptons.
These sightings coincided with the second anniversary of their wedding at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022. The following month, they had an even more lavish ceremony in Georgia.
However, on their second birthday they were spotted on the other side of the coast.

This comes amid rumors that Jennifer and Ben are having marital problems two years after their first marriage.
The couple also spent the Fourth of July weekend apart, with the This Is Me… Now star celebrating the nuptials in the Hamptons with family and friends while the Deep Water actor remained in Los Angeles.
It was recently announced that their $60.85 million Beverly Hills wedding home is now for sale.
In June, the couple tried to discreetly sell the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom mansion, but were unsuccessful.
Earlier this summer, reports surfaced that Jen and Ben had been living apart for “months” amid speculation that they were on the verge of divorce.
But JLo did wish her other half a happy Father’s Day.
“Our hero. Happy Father’s Day,” she cheered alongside a black-and-white photo of Ben holding a white heart in an Instagram Story.
The duo also recently attended Violet’s high school graduation together.
In May, sources told People that Jennifer and Ben’s marriage “isn’t in the best of shape right now.”
In the meantime, We weekly recently claimed that there is a glimmer of hope that Ben and Jennifer could get back together.
“Jennifer suggested they just take their time and figure it out,” the source said.
