Ben Affleck Celebrates 52nd Birthday "Exactly" as He Desired

According to SAEDNEWS, Ben Affleck, the beloved Daredevil star, turned 52 on August 15, and it seems he preferred a very low-key celebration this year. An insider shared with People that Affleck chose to stay home, finding joy in the intimate moments spent with his family rather than a big party.

According to the source, “It’s exactly what he wanted. He didn’t want to go out to celebrate. The kids had gifts for him, and it was cute.” Affleck's day was made even more special when his wife, Jennifer Lopez, stopped by to congratulate him, emphasizing the love within their family circle.

The birthday festivities took place at their home in Brentwood, California, where the kids spent most of the day with him. "He didn't leave the house at all for his birthday," the insider confirmed, indicating that he truly embraced the idea of a quiet celebration surrounded by his loved ones.

Interestingly, Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, was also seen leaving his home on his special day, a testament to their amicable co-parenting relationship. The actor shares three children with Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.

Earlier reports had hinted that Affleck was planning a simple birthday, with another source mentioning to OK! Magazine, “Ben is planning to keep things intimate for his birthday, spending it with close friends and family.” Given the warmth and love surrounding him on his special day, it’s clear that Affleck enjoyed exactly what he hoped for: a heartfelt and cozy birthday with those who matter most to him.
