Jennifer Lopez is turning a new leaf on her 56th birthday, months after she finalized her divorce from ex-husband Ben Affleck. According to Star Magazine’s exclusive report, the singer is planning on big-scale celebrations that could last into the summer. A source shared that she will be taking a few days off from her Up All Night Tour in Europe, “so she can properly celebrate” her birthday.
The insider further shared that Lopez is planning on inviting a few of her close friends so that she doesn’t feel alone on her special day. Her pals will reportedly receive “A-list treatment” as part of the celebrations. According to the source, the singer has a list of fun activities in the pipeline that she’s yet to finalize.
The source said, “Right now, it’s a toss up between renting out a huge yacht and cruising the Med for a couple of days.” Other options allegedly include renting out a lavish five-star villa “where they can lounge and get spa treatments and have a big party and totally let loose.” The insider recalled Lopez throwing a grand party for her birthday last year. However, it came with the pain of her split from Affleck.
The former couple first met in 2002 and got together, but broke off their engagement two years later. After carrying on with building their respective lives and family, they were spotted together again in 2021, sparking reconciliation rumors. They eventually confirmed their romance and tied the knot the following year. However, Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, and the couple finalized it in January this year.
