Ben Affleck celebrates birthday with ex-wife Jennifer Garner while Lopez drops blast from the past

Jennifer Garner visits ex Ben Affleck on his birthday amid rumours of marital troubles with Jennifer Lopez.

As Ben Affleck celebrated another year, it was his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, who shared the spotlight. The former couple, known for their friendly demeanour post-split, were seen together, on August 15 at the actor’s Brentwood rental where he is currently residing.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez, Affleck’s current wife, took a nostalgic detour, sharing birthday throwback photos. However, it seems the Jenny from the Block singer was more interested in celebrating herself than her husband this time around, as the photos were actually from her own birthday bash just weeks ago.

The Accountant 2 star turned 52 on Thursday. Garner, who lives in the same Brentwood neighbourhood, was spotted stepping out of her car in a striped white T-shirt and a pair of navy trousers while visiting his rental accommodation. The actress has been spotted visiting Affleck multiple times amid his marital struggles with Jennifer Lopez and is reportedly playing a key role in helping the couple reconcile during their time apart.

The 13 Going on 30 star, opted for a laid-back look, going makeup-free and choosing a casual outfit that suggested she wasn’t in a party mood. Instead, her attire pointed to a friendly visit for her ex’s birthday. She completed her look with glasses and understated jewellery, including delicate silver earrings and an Apple Watch, as captured in photos by Daily Mail.
