Jennifer Lopez kicked off her 55th birthday with a leisurely bike ride with her 16-year-old son, Max, in the Hamptons on Wednesday.
As she rang in the milestone without her estranged husband, Ben Affleck, who did not attend her extravagant Bridgerton-themed bash, the superstar enjoyed some quality time with her teenager, who she shares with ex Marc Anthony.
The pair biked over to Pierre’s French restaurant, where they were joined by one of her friends, who wore a pink and silver ‘Happy Birthday’ headband.
For the occasion, the Grammy nominee looked elegant in a $3,400 white and aqua mid-length shirtdress, which she belted, from Dior and a pair of studded flats.
The mother-of-two wore her light brown locks in a sleek ponytail and accessorized with a pair of oversized sunglasses, a straw tote bag, and statement earrings.

Her massive green diamond engagement ring remained on her left finger, despite rumors of martials woes after spending her second wedding anniversary apart from the two-time Oscar winner.
Meanwhile, Max wore an all-white ensemble and brown sandals.
The mother-son duo dined outside the French bistro, located in the heart of Bridgehampton, before heading home on their bikes.
The intimate celebration was much quieter than the lavish party she threw in her own honor, which included a horse-drawn carriage and period-era costumes.
Guests were seen arriving to her home in elaborate garments, inspired by Netflix’s hit show Bridgerton, over the weekend.
People confirmed that Affleck was ‘not in attendance’ at the party, which took place on Saturday.
On Wednesday, J-Lo shared a video featuring footage from the bash, which included Regency-era dances and, at least, two wardrobe changes from the birthday girl.
Lopez looked like the diamond of the season in the video montage, which showed her singing into a microphone, blowing out her candles and enjoying orchestral music.

Max’s sister, Emme, was not in attendance
‘Dearest Gentle Reader… And a splendid evening was had by all,’ she captioned the post.
This comes amid rumors that Jennifer and Ben are facing marital issues two years after tying the knot.
The couple also spent the Fourth of July weekend separately, with the This Is Me… Now star celebrating in the Hamptons with family and friends while the Deep Water actor stayed in Los Angeles.
It was recently disclosed that their $60.85 million marital home in Beverly Hills is now publicly on the market.
In June, the couple attempted to discreetly sell the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom mansion but were unsuccessful.

Earlier this summer, reports surfaced that Jen and Ben have been living apart for ‘months,’ amid speculation that they are headed for divorce.
But JLo did wish her other half a Happy Father’s Day.
‘Our hero. Happy Father’s Day,’ she gushed over a black-and-white photo of Ben with a white heart emoji in an Instagram Story.
The duo also recently attended Violet’s high school graduation together.
In May, sources told People Jennifer and Ben’s marriage ‘is not in the best place at the moment.’

Meanwhile, Us Weekly recently claimed that there is a ‘sliver of hope’ that Ben and Jennifer could get back together.
‘Jennifer suggested they just take time to figure it out,’ the source said.
It was also added that Bennifer 2.0 ‘still haven’t made a decision’ regarding splitting.
Affleck and Garner announced their separation in 2015 after nearly 10 years of marriage, and officially filed for divorce in 2017.
The 13 Going on 30 star has since moved on with businessman John Miller, while Ben rekindled his romance with Lopez in April 2021 before tying the knot in July 2022.
