Jennifer Garner was spotted at her ex-husband Ben Affleck's home in Brentwood on Thursday, where the Oscar-winning actor was celebrating his 52nd birthday. 

The actress, who shares three children with Ben—Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12—was seen leaving his residence in her sleek BMW, flashing a friendly wave as she departed.

The 52-year-old actress kept her look casual and chic, with her hair pulled back into a ponytail and a pair of glasses resting on her face.

Ben and Jennifer, who were married from 2005 to 2018, have maintained an amicable co-parenting relationship, often seen supporting their children together despite their separation.

While Ben marked his milestone birthday, his current wife, Jennifer Lopez, noticeably refrained from posting any celebratory messages on social media.

In addition to the photos, Jennifer took to her JLo Beauty Instagram page to share a new video promoting her skincare line. The former Fly Girl was seen sitting in a hotel room, wearing a colorful robe, and noticeably absent of any wedding rings. 

In the video, she demonstrated how to use her face mask, which she claimed was "firming and lifting." After removing the mask, Lopez revealed her flawless, makeup-free complexion, free of wrinkles or blemishes, much to the admiration of her followers.

Just days before Ben's birthday, Jennifer Lopez was spotted visiting his rental home in Brentwood after taking his son to the mall.

This sighting fueled further speculation about the state of their marriage, especially since the couple has been facing rumors of trouble for months.

The visit comes after Affleck recently made headlines for purchasing a $20 million home in the upscale Pacific Palisades neighborhood. 

The property, according to TMZ, features five bedrooms, six bathrooms, a media room, and a guest house. It's a significant downsize from the sprawling Beverly Hills mansion he bought with Jennifer Lopez last year, which boasted 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms, a 12-car garage, and numerous luxurious amenities, including a 5,000 square-foot guest penthouse, a caretaker's house, a two-bedroom guard house, a pool, and an indoor sports complex.

The Beverly Hills estate, which the couple purchased in May 2023, was put on the market last month for a whopping $68 million. 

The decision to sell the mansion, coupled with Jennifer Lopez's recent social media activity and the couple's separate appearances, has only intensified speculation about the future of their relationship.
