Ben Affleck, the Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker, was spotted without his wedding ring during a dinner date with his eldest daughter Violet on June 22, 2024. The absence of the band raised speculation about the status of his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, who was vacationing in Italy at the time.
Affleck shares Violet and her siblings Seraphina and Samuel with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. He became a stepfather to Emme and Max when he married Lopez in 2022. The couple has faced rampant divorce speculation since May, but they have yet to comment officially on the rumors.
Lopez announced her tour cancellation in order to focus on her family. She was seen vacationing solo in Italy and taking selfies in a bathing suit, seemingly carefree. However, a source claims she is reflecting on her marriage while abroad.
Affleck has moved into a rental and is reportedly putting their $60 million estate up for sale. Despite their public appearances together, sources suggest they are living largely separate lives.
In an interview with Kevin Hart's Peacock chat show Hart to Heart, Affleck marveled at the impact Lopez has on her fans and expressed his concern for the impact of his public life on his children. He stated, 'Every day I’m alive I want to make sure I’m doing the right thing by them, making their lives better.'
