Recently, Ben Affleck was spotted driving to his office in Los Angeles, California, without his wedding ring. This comes after spending the Fourth of July holiday weekend apart from Jennifer Lopez amid rumors of marital issues. Affleck, 51, was seen in photos obtained by Page Six, sitting in the driver’s seat with his left hand bare, as he squinted and fidgeted with something on his dashboard. This act of not wearing his wedding ring has been quite consistent in recent months since he moved out of the marital home he shared with Lopez and into a rental in Brentwood, California.
Jennifer Lopez, 54, has also been seen both with and without her wedding ring, adding fuel to the speculation about the state of their marriage. During her time in the Hamptons over the long weekend, Lopez was photographed wearing her ring along with a charm bracelet that bore Affleck’s initial. This display of jewelry choice has only added to the confusion surrounding the couple’s relationship status. Lopez was also seen going shopping with her manager, Benny Medina, and her child, Emme, signaling that she is keeping busy amidst the rumors.
While Lopez was enjoying her time in the Hamptons, Affleck chose not to accompany her and instead spent quality time with two of his children from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner. This decision to spend the holiday weekend apart only added to the speculation surrounding the state of their union. Sources close to the couple revealed that the chances of reconciliation are slim, with one insider stating that Lopez is focused on a summer filled with health, happiness, and joy, indicating a shift in priorities that might not include a reunion with Affleck.
Rumors of trouble in paradise began swirling when Lopez attended the Met Gala solo in May, despite the couple’s history of attending the event together. This was followed by the revelation that Affleck had moved into a rental home, prompting further speculation about the state of their relationship. The decision to put their $60 million mansion on the market only added to the mounting evidence that their marriage might be on shaky ground. Despite all the rumors and sightings, Lopez and Affleck have yet to address the situation publicly, leaving fans to speculate about the future of their union.
The unraveling of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s marriage has been a topic of much discussion and speculation. From their choice of jewelry to their separate holiday plans, all signs seem to point towards a marriage in crisis. As the couple navigates these challenging times, only time will tell if they are able to weather the storm or if they will go their separate ways.
