Ben Affleck was spotted wearing his wedding ring in Santa Monica, California, on May 21, 2024. Amidst growing speculation about his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, he appeared in public without her but alongside friends at the Giorgio Baldi restaurant. Meanwhile, Lopez attended two separate events solo in Mexico City and Hollywood.
Affleck opted for a casual look during his outing with friends in Santa Monica. He wore tan jeans paired with a navy button-up shirt. The sighting comes just as rumors about marital discord have surfaced, questioning the stability of their relationship which began in 2022.
On the other hand, Jennifer Lopez made public appearances alone at high-profile events. She was at the ‘Atlas’ movie premiere in Mexico City dressed in a white Chloé gown on May 20, and a day later at Netflix’s sci-fi movie premiere at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. At both events, it was unclear if she was wearing her wedding ring.
Interestingly, while Affleck has been busy filming “The Accountant 2”, Jennifer briefly mentioned him during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live”. Reports from PEOPLE magazine suggest that “Marriage is not in the best place at the moment,” and highlighted that they are currently living miles apart.
Sources close to the couple reveal that there might be underlying issues contributing to their struggles. While Lopez is celebrated for her openness and fan engagement, Affleck tends towards privacy — differences that could be causing friction between the couple.
In summing up their current situation, one music source from PEOPLE magazine stated, “Lopez and Affleck are not on the same page,” which clearly hints at possible problems regardless of public appearances or statements.
**Background Information**: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez rekindled their romance years after their initial engagement ended in 2004. They were married by 2022 but recent developments have hinted at challenges within their marriage tied to differences in personality and lifestyle choices.
