Despite Ben Affleck spending his 49th birthday with his kids Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9, Jennifer Lopez, 52, still has something planned!
A source close to the famous Latin singer revealed she has “something special” cooking for the actor in honor of his big day.
“Jennifer has been planning a special getaway for Ben’s birthday. She wanted them to be away together,” our source dished, adding, “They are going somewhere without the kids.”
Our insider went on, “She wanted it to be an adults-only trip, just the two of them to spend time together as a couple. They are keeping the whereabouts very quiet. Not many people know where they’re going and she’d like to keep it that way.”
Ben spent his real birthday, August 15, in Los Angeles with his three children. He wore a blue top, black denim trousers, and grey and white sneakers to cut a comfortable figure. He added glasses to complete the look, while his kids with Jennifer Garner wore casual attire as well.
When it comes to birthdays, “Bennifer” has it all figured out. Ben recently surprised Jen with a lavish trip to Europe for her 52nd birthday. Since rekindling their romance in May, this was also the first time the birthday lady shared a public PDA-filled snapshot with Ben.
As fans are aware, Ben and J.Lo are rekindling their love after dating in the early 2000s. They were engaged in 2003, but by 2004 they had broken up. In July, a source informed us, “Bennifer is moving full steam ahead.”
“Everyone around her especially can’t believe this is happening. But when she said she was done with Alex Rodriguez, everyone knew she meant it. She’s given ending that relationship zero-second thought and hasn’t looked back,” the insider said.
Matt Damon, Ben’s childhood friend, is a fan of the couple! On the August 13 episode of The Carlos Watson Show, the Golden Globe winner, 50, opened up about his friend’s relationship, stating that he is a huge Bennifer fan.
“Oh man, no one’s pulling harder than I am,” Matt said when he was asked if he thought the pair would go the distance.
On his appearance on SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show in July, he gave a sarcastic answer when he was asked about “Bennifer”. “But how else would I be? Like would I be unhappy?” Matt said with a laugh. “Like I hate true love, it sucks,” Matt sarcastically added, then went on to jokingly say that he wishes Ben and Jen “nothing but you know, hardship.”
