Jennifer Garner fills in for Jennifer Lopez on Ben Affleck's 52nd birthday

Ben Affleck celebrated his 52nd birthday without Jennifer Lopez by his side as rumours of an impending divorce swirl. However, Jennifer Garner — Affleck’s wife before JLo — made sure to pay him a friendly visit.

Photographs obtained by Page Six showed the 13 Going on 30 star dressed casually in a striped T-shirt and navy trousers as she arrived at Affleck’s Brentwood, California, rental home on Thursday, August 15.

Garner, who shares three children with the Oscar winner — Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 — appeared relaxed and at ease, accessorising her look with simple jewellery and an Apple Watch.

The visit didn’t appear to be too out of the ordinary for the pair, who share three children together: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.

The former couple have maintained a friendly co-parenting relationship since their divorce in 2018.

Meanwhile, JLo’s absence fueled ongoing speculation that she and Affleck are heading for a divorce.

She recently spent her own birthday in style with a Bridgerton-themed party in the Hamptons, with Affleck nowhere in sight.

Their second wedding anniversary in July also passed with the pair on opposite coasts.
