(NewsNation) — Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage is still going strong.
Affleck wasn’t at Lopez’s 55th birthday at her Water Mill mansion last weekend, but sources say he’s flying out next week, possibly for her birthday on Wednesday.
“He’s supposed to be flying in for the week,” said an insider.
Lopez’s “Bridgerton” themed party featured guests in elaborate costumes despite the 90-degree heat. Attendees included her mother, sister, manager Benny Medina, and PR person Desiree Gruber.
Lopez spent the previous week with Affleck’s daughter Violet, with whom she has a close relationship.
Regarding divorce rumors, our insider said, “They’re still wearing their rings.” (Other sources claim, “It’s over — Ben doesn’t want to pile on while Jennifer is having such a bad year.”)
Lopez has been out east for most of the summer, trying to keep a low profile.
“It’s been a horrific year,” another source said.
Another friend added, “She’s just trying to heal.”
No one was surprised that Affleck missed the Bridgerton-themed party. “That’s not his scene,” the original source said. “He’s much more low-key and a homebody. He hates that stuff.”
However, if he actually shows up, thank him for planning to fly in to see Lopez this week.
