AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck's marital status has been the subject of intense scrutiny over the past few days. The actor was spotted wearing his wedding ring again on Saturday, May 18, just a day after he was seen without it, igniting rumors of a rocky marriage with Jennifer Lopez.
The wedding band was conspicuously missing from Affleck's hand on Friday evening while he attended his child's school play, but reappeared the next day as he punched in the security code at his temporary rental home in Brentwood. This rental, costing $100,000 a month, is reportedly where Affleck has been living for several weeks since moving out of the $60 million L.A. mansion he shares with Lopez.
Adding to the intrigue, Affleck was seen without his wedding ring again on Saturday morning while on his way to meet his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their children. Despite the split rumors, Affleck and Lopez displayed a somewhat united front on Thursday evening as they attended a school event for Affleck's 15-year-old child, Fin.
An observer noted, "Ben did not look happy to see JLo as she arrived at a show for one of his kids," though both brought flowers to celebrate the performance.
Sources have provided conflicting accounts about the couple's relationship status. One insider told Us Weekly that while Affleck and Lopez have been "living separately," they have not officially split but are "having issues in their marriage." Another source suggested that the couple could be headed for a divorce after less than two years of marriage.
Jennifer Lopez has reportedly ramped up her work commitments and is preparing for her "This Is Me... Live" tour while Affleck is focused on his latest project, "The Accountant 2," and his children. The pair, who rekindled their romance in 2021 and married in 2022, have faced public speculation before, notably when Ben was famously seen slamming a car door in May last year.
The Hollywood couple's relationship has always been in the limelight, from their initial engagement in the early 2000s, their breakup in 2004, and their ultimate reunion and marriage last year. While fans continue to watch their every move, it remains to be seen how Bennifer will navigate this latest chapter of their public and private lives.
