Ben Affleck Spotted Without Wedding Ring Following Separation from Jennifer Lopez

Ben Affleck was spotted in Los Angeles on Friday, May 17, without his wedding ring amid his marital issues with Jennifer Lopez. The 51-year-old actor was photographed by TMZ adjusting the sun visor in his car with his bare left hand.

The photos of Ben Affleck moving out of his California mansion with Jennifer Lopez surfaced online soon after it was revealed that they are no longer living together. A source informed Us Weekly that Affleck left the shared residence several weeks ago.

Both Affleck and Lopez have not made any public statements about the separation. Us Weekly has contacted their representatives for any comments.

Lopez and Affleck were recently seen together after fans speculated about their split. They were photographed side-by-side on May 17, wearing their wedding rings at a school event for one of their kids. This comes after not being publicly photographed together for 47 days.

According to a source who spoke exclusively to Us on May 16, Jen and Ben are facing challenges in their marriage. The source mentioned that issues started a few months ago when Jen began increasing her work commitments and preparing for her upcoming tour. Lopez is focused on work as she gets ready for her This Is Me … Live tour, which begins next month.

"They often have different opinions," said the insider.

Despite their differences, the couple is not in a hurry to break up. Another insider told Us that Lopez and Affleck have no immediate plans to separate. A third source mentioned that they are currently focusing on improving their relationship.

Lopez and Affleck, also known as Bennifer, have a long history together. They first started dating in the early 2000s after meeting on the set of their movie Gigli. Shortly after Lopez filed for divorce from her second husband Cris Judd in June 2002, she and Affleck went public with their relationship. They had a whirlwind romance and engagement, but they decided to call off their September 2003 wedding and eventually broke up in January 2004.

The famous couple reconnected in May 2021, almost 20 years after ending their engagement. They got married in July 2022 while on a trip to Las Vegas and later had a more traditional ceremony with friends and family in Georgia the following month.

Both Affleck and Lopez have been married before. Lopez was first married to Cuban chef Ojani Noa in 1997, then to Judd in 2001, and later to Marc Anthony in 2004. She had twins Emme and Maximilian with Anthony but they separated in 2011 and finalized their divorce in 2014.

On the other hand, Affleck tied the knot with Jennifer Garner in 2005 and they had three children together - Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. They announced their separation in June 2015 and completed their divorce in 2018.
