Ben Affleck celebrated his 52nd birthday just as he wanted. The Gone Girl star marked his birthday on August 15 with a “small birthday celebration at home” with his kids.

A source told People, “It’s exactly what he wanted. He didn’t want to go out to celebrate," and his kids got gifts for him. The insider called the celebration "cute." The source added that his allegedly estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez, also stopped by to wish him a happy birthday.

Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares his kids Violet (18), Seraphina (15), and Samuel (12), was also spotted visiting the actor at his rental home in Brentwood, California, according to photos published by Page Six.

Lopez, 55, was seen at Ben’s temporary residence a few hours after Garner’s visit, per The Daily Mail. The duo, for those not in the loop, have been defending rumors of divorce since early May, two years after tying the knot in an intimate ceremony in Vegas in July 2022. Bennifer also celebrated their union with a grand ceremony in Georgia in front of friends and family that August following their Sin City elopement.

On the same day as Affleck’s birthday, JLo stepped out solo at the opening night of the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, which featured performances from Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and more. The Atlas star posted snaps of her OOTN, a Dior dress, on Instagram before heading to the venue.
