Jennifer Lopez’s mother Guadalupe Rodriguez made a glamorous entrance to her daughter’s 55th birthday party in the Hamptons on Saturday. 

Rodriguez looked incredible in a light blue gown with lacy top as she arrived at the Bridgerton-themed celebrations with a slew of other guests donning Victorian wear.

She looked stunning with her hair styled into loose curls and an array of jewelry adding extra sparkle to the look.

People reports that Jennifer’s husband Ben Affleck, 51, did not attend the party. The couple have been embroiled in divorce rumors as of late.

Lopez recently spent her second wedding anniversary without her husband, as he remained in California while she holidayed on the East Coast.

Although she actually turns 54 this coming Wednesday, it appeared that she was gearing up to throw her party a bit early over the weekend.

A large van full of flowers could be spotted arriving at her party venue on Saturday, where a horse and buggy also appeared to have been hired for the occasion.

Lopez may have rented some upscale furnishings for the fete, as a truck from the luxury furniture brand Serena & Lily was on the scene as well.

Members of staff, all dressed in black, could be spotted gathering near the valet stand as the on-site arrangements came together.

Ben has not been pictured with Jennifer since June 5 and as recently as this Friday he was spotted in California with his children.

His eldest daughter Violet, 18, whom he shares with Jennifer Garner, was spotted visiting Lopez last weekend in the Hamptons.

A source exclusively told DailyMail.com that Affleck and Lopez’ respective children have been working behind the scenes to help them repair their marriage.

On Saturday morning, as the preparations for her festivities kicked off, Lopez posted a beaming selfie on Instagram and wrote: ‘Today is gonna be a great day’

‘The kids think Jennifer and Ben are really, deeply in love, like soul mates and they don’t want them to divorce. They want them to work it out for better or for worse, like their vows said.’ the insider explained.

‘And they do feel that the two should continue counseling and talking it out, even if it is painful. They feel like if they do and say the right things that there could be more peace,’ the source continued.

The children were purportedly hoping that Affleck and Lopez would be able to get ‘back together’ before the pop star celebrates her 55th birthday on July 24.

The party comes as insiders informed DailyMail.com that Lopez is throwing herself into efforts to salvage her marriage.

Sources said their recent time apart has only reinforced just how much they love each other, further fueling their determination to avoid calling it quits.

The pair, who recently listed their $60million family home, were last pictured together on June 2 and have spent several big occasions – including Mother’s Day and their second wedding anniversary – apart amid ongoing reports their rekindled romance is careering towards divorce.

But Lopez, 54, has made a concerted effort to focus on their blended family and has put work commitments on hold to help get their romance back on track.

‘Jennifer is hopeful right now about salvaging her marriage to Ben,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively.

‘She would not be spending time with his children acting in the role as a mom to them if she was not working things out with him or, at the very least, on the right path.’

Lopez and Affleck have realized they still love each other after spending some time apart ‘to think things over’, a source has revealed to DailyMail.com (pictured in February)

The insider added that the true reason why Ben and Jennifer have not been together so far this summer was to help them determine how much they still valued their relationship.

‘They have given each other space to think things over and this has reinforced that they do love each other,’ the source claimed.

‘Jennifer has put work on hold to focus on repairing the damage that was done. She knows that she allowed her career and her fame to come between her marriage at times.’

They continued: ‘She is really trying to just be a good mom and a normal person for the time being because she knows that, at the end of the day, her riches and fame aren’t everything. She is hoping that it is not too late.’

However, the insider added that Affleck had also made his own mistakes, adding: ‘Those around her have assured her that she is not solely to blame as Ben is not a walk in the park either.’

DailyMail.com previously revealed that Lopez had even been confiding in her husband’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, who eventually had to step back from an informal mediator role between the pair, as she no longer wanted to be part of the ‘circus’ around the pair.

But she still remains in ‘constant communication’ with Garner who has ‘helped things tremendously.’

‘Jennifer is eternally grateful for her help even though she has now taken a step back,’ the insider said. ‘But Jen was able to get through to her ex-husband like no one else could – even her.’

Affleck and Garner share three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.

Meanwhile, Lopez shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony.

It looked like their blended family would be ripped apart after Affleck moved out of their California mansion and into a $100K-a-month rental located near his ex-wife.

Just weeks later, the home was quietly listed for $65 million and the pair began selling off art work from inside the mansion.

However, the source revealed that the pair had a simple reason for choosing to put their marital home back on the market – their family did not feel ‘safe’ in the Bel Air mansion and struggled to call it ‘home.’

‘Jennifer and Ben decided to sell their house because neither one of them, nor their kids, felt like this place was home,’ the insider dished.

‘It was too big, and the openness made them feel unsafe at times and although they have around the clock security, something just didn’t feel right.’

The source added that Affleck, in particular, never felt truly comfortable in the mansion – likely leading to him being so quick to move his items out last month.

They added: ‘Ben hated the house more than Jennifer, so when things started to fall apart in their marriage he was just over it.

‘The amount of money it costs just in utilities for that home was astronomical.’

But the duo were spotted on opposite ends of the country as they marked their second anniversary apart on July 16 (pictured in May 2023)

The couple’s love story first began in 2002 when they dated while filming the movie Jersey Girl. They got engaged the following year but broke up in 2004.

They delighted fans when they rekindled their romance in the spring of 2021. They tied the knot in a Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a lavish wedding at his Georgia estate a month later.

But the duo were spotted on opposite ends of the country as they seemingly failed to come together to mark their second anniversary on July 16.

A smiling Affleck was spotted suited up as he arrived at his office in Los Angeles, carrying a large iced coffee and a duffel bag while Lopez was in the Hamptons with his 18-year-old daughter Violet.

Whatever happens next, the pair still have plans to work together as Lopez is set to star in two upcoming movies – Unstoppable and Kiss Of The Spider Woman – for Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company, Artists Equity.
