Jennifer Lopez is ready for some big changes in her life. The singer has had a very difficult year, but she’s not letting it get her down. Despite the marriage drama with husband Ben Affleck, her disappointing album, and the cancellation of her summer tour, she’s doing her best to stay positive. Sources say JLo is using her 55th birthday as a turning point and is all about making a fresh start.
Entertainment Tonight reports that Jennifer Lopez celebrated her birthday on Wednesday. Although Ben Affleck was by her side to celebrate, she was seen having a great time with her loved ones. Amid all of the drama that’s surrounded her over the past year, JLo is said to be using the milestone birthday as a way to turn the page in the story of her life. “[She] is doing her best to stay positive and focus on the great things in her life,” an insider stated.

“It has been a hard year with some unexpected realizations, changes, and obstacles, but Jen is trying to view her 55th birthday as a fresh start,” the source adds. “She is trying not to let her situation with Ben bring her down.”
JLo celebrated her birthday in the Hamptons, where she has been hanging out all summer. She’s been seen happily spending time with friends and riding her bike around the countryside, per People Magazine. Meanwhile, Affleck has remained in Los Angeles, where he’s been seen spending time with his three children, Violet, Fin, and Samuel.
“[JLo] always loves getting to spend time on the East Coast, especially during the summer, and it’s been nice for her to be surrounded by friends and family who love her.”
It was previously reported by In Touch Weekly that Lopez has been working hard to put on a brave face amid the speculation with Affleck. Insiders told the outlet that JLo is “faking” her happy and positive vibes for the camera. However, her positive persona may be the way she deals with the stress in her life.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have yet to make any public moves to end their marriage. However, after spending the summer, and their second wedding anniversary apart, things aren’t looking good for the pair.
If Jennifer Lopez is headed towards divorce with Ben Affleck, it seems she plans to keep her head held high. JLo has been here before as she’s been married three times in the past. At this point, she’s basically a pro at navigating divorce.
