Ben Affleck was seen without his wedding ring on Friday, May 17, sparking further speculation about his marriage to Jennifer Lopez. The 51-year-old actor was photographed in Los Angeles adjusting the sun visor in his car, clearly without his wedding band. This sighting came shortly after reports emerged that Affleck and Lopez are not currently living together.
According to Us Weekly, Affleck moved out of the California mansion he shares with Lopez several weeks ago. The couple has not publicly addressed the separation, and their representatives have not commented on the matter. Despite the speculation, Affleck and Lopez were seen together on May 17 at a school function for one of their children, both wearing their wedding rings.
Sources indicate that the couple has been experiencing marital issues for a few months. An insider revealed that Lopez's increasing work commitments, particularly her preparations for the upcoming "This Is Me … Live" tour, have contributed to their problems. "They are on two completely different pages most of the time," the source added.
However, multiple insiders confirm that the couple is not rushing to separate. They are reportedly working on their relationship and have no immediate plans to split.
Affleck and Lopez, famously known as Bennifer, have a long and storied history. They first dated in the early 2000s after meeting on the set of "Gigli." Their initial engagement was called off in 2003, and they split in 2004. The pair reconnected in May 2021 and married in July 2022, followed by a more traditional ceremony in Georgia.
Both Affleck and Lopez have previous marriages. Lopez has been married three times before, to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, and Marc Anthony, with whom she shares twins Emme and Maximilian. Affleck was married to Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. Their divorce was finalized in 2018 after separating in 2015.
