Ben Affleck turned 51 on August 15th (time flies when you’re running on Dunkin’), and naturally Jennifer Lopez hopped on Instagram to celebrate her man.
J.Lo dropped a lil’ clip of her and Ben signing “Wonderful World” by Sam Cooke in the car— a super cute glimpse into their private life away from the spotlight—and Ben is truly belting out the song. She captioned the post with a simple “Dear Ben … Happy Birthday. I love you!”
According to a source who recently chatted to People, Ben is “happy and thriving” and “Everything is going well in his life. He is happy and content.” Great to hear!
Meanwhile, J.Lo also recently celebrated her birthday with a party that Ben threw for her at their brand new home. As she put it in her never-not-iconic newsletter On the JLo (if you haven’t subscribed, you’re not truly living), “Thank you all for the birthday love. Here’s a lil peek into my party. Ben hosted it at our new house with our closest family and friends. All the kids were there, it was a gorgeous day full of sunshine and perfect for a pool party!!”
She also dropped some pics from the big day, and mused “I felt so appreciated and acknowledged by my loved ones, and I’m extremely grateful to be where I am today at this point in my life’s journey with so many beautiful, caring people to share it all with.”
Unclear if Ben had a birthday party this year, but gonna assume J.Lo had something special planned!
