To honor her milestone birthday, Lopez threw a royal-themed early birthday bash in the Hamptons, New York over the weekend

“I’ve been seeing all of your birthday wishes, beautiful videos, and posts all last night and this morning from all over the world,” Lopez began.

For the soiree, Lopez channeled Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte, and held court in her very own throne

Lopez said she was ‘moved’ by a birthday billboard in Times Square, organized by her devoted fans.

In a video montage shared to the superstar's Instagram, she stunned in an elaborate blue corset ball gown, with embroidered gold details that sparkled in the dark

“I have laughed, smiled, shed some tears, and when I saw the billboard in Times Square, I was completely overwhelmed. I really do have the best, most amazing fans in the world. I could never express how moved I am or how incredibly blessed I feel to have all of you be a part of my life. Thank you sooooo very much,” she continued.

Later on she changed into a mint green dress before blowing out the candles on her four-tiered birthday cake

Reflecting on her over 30-year career, Lopez noted how fans have watched her evolve into an A-list star.

“It’s hard to believe we have spent all this time together. It’s funny as I sit here contemplating on the most extraordinary journey, I still feel like the same girl starting out so full of energy and bravado, so ready to take on the whole world on the outside and yet so tender, fragile, and sometimes frightеnеd but always full of love on the inside.

Lopez had her closest family and friends by her side, including mom Guadalupe Rodríguez, her longtime manager Benny Medina, 66, and her 16-year-old twins Max and Emme, at Saturday's party

“I have so much love for you. I want you to know on my birthday that YOU are my biggest gift. Besides my family and friends, you have always been there for me in the good times and in the tough times. I can always count on you. And I want you to know that you can always count on me.

But her husband Ben Affleck, 51, was 'not in attendance' amid ongoing split rumors between the pair, who have not been pictured together in two months, as confirmed by PEOPLE; seen in 2023

“Thank you for your caring, your understanding, your loyalty, and most importantly your love. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you… Always, Jennifer,” the “Hustlers” star concluded.

Jennifer Lopez Celebrates Birthday Without Ben Affleck

For her milestone birthday, Lopez hosted a royal-themed party in the Hamptons, New York, over the weekend.

Channeling Bridgerton’s Queen Charlotte, Lopez held court in her very own throne.

In a video montage shared on Instagram, she wore an elaborate blue corset ball gown with embroidered gold details and accessorized with sheer white gloves, a golden necklace, and a voluminous updo.

The attendees donned Regency-era costumes. Later in the evening, Lopez changed into a stunning mint green off-shoulder dress with golden lace detailing.

Her Instagram video, set to orchestral music from the Bridgerton series, showed moments from her special night, including a white horse-drawn carriage picking her up.

“Dearest Gentle Reader… And a splendid evening was had by all,” she captioned the post.

Fans praised the imaginative birthday party, calling it the “social event of the season” and jokingly referring to Lopez as the new Bridgerton queen.

Close family and friends, including her mom Guadalupe Rodríguez, manager Benny Medina, and 16-year-old twins Max and Emme, attended the party. Affleck, however, was absent amid ongoing split rumors.

Affleck was seen in Los Angeles with his children over the weekend. The couple has spent much of the summer apart, including their second wedding anniversary on July 16. They were last seen together in early June at Samuel’s basketball game.

Affleck and Lopez, known as ‘Bennifer,’ got engaged in 2002, broke up in 2004, reunited in July 2021, and married in 2022. However, recent months have seen divorce speculation after Affleck moved out of their Beverly Hills mansion, which is now on the market for $68 million.

A source claimed the couple is in a rush to sell the house as Affleck “wants to be done with it.” He’s currently living in a $100,000-per-month rental home in Brentwood, near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

Despite claims of a strained marriage, the source noted there’s a deep love between Lopez and Affleck, and they are not giving up on their relationship. They have continued to wear their wedding rings amid speculation.
