Jennifer Lopez shows off lavish solo birthday party. The singer turned 55 without her husband by her side throwing herself an extravagant, Bridgerton-themed birthday party complete with horses, corseted ballgowns, and a string ensemble playing orchestral versions of her songs. Jennifer shared a clip to her Instagram page featuring her favourite moments from the lavish 20 July event, captioned: "Dearest Gentle Reader... And a splendid evening was had by all" - playing on the hit Netflix show's signature theme. Chauffeured to the soiree in a white, horse-drawn carriage, JLo could be seen in the video montage with friends and family including her mother Guadalupe Rodriguez, 16-year-old son Max, and longtime manager Benny Medina. An outfit change saw her switch from her elaborate ballgown into a flowing green gown, ready to make a wish as she blew out the candles on a four-tiered birthday cake. Jennifer’s husband of two years, Ben Affleck, was nowhere to be seen in the video, with People Magazine confirming he was not in attendance. The couple has been beset by reports they're on the rocks for some months, with their Los Angeles home believed to be on the market Ben was seen in LA on the weekend with his children Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52.
