Ben Affleck was spotted without his wedding ring the same day his estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez, filed for divorce. He was photographed walking through a parking garage to reach his office in Los Angeles wearing a casual outfit including a light gray T-shirt and blue jeans. While he skipped wearing his ring, Jennifer Lopez was seen leaving an apartment building in New York City still wearing her 8.5-carat green diamond engagement ring from Affleck despite filing for divorce. The court documents were submitted on the second anniversary of the couple’s Georgia wedding ceremony, with Lopez listing the date of their separation as April 26.
An insider later revealed that Affleck showed no interest in trying to repair their marriage, prompting Lopez to end it. Sources confirmed that the couple did not have a prenuptial agreement and had reconciled in 2021 after first dating and getting engaged in the early 2000s. The couple has reportedly now accepted that they are not built for the long haul and are ready to move on. No official statement has been released by Affleck and Lopez regarding their separation, but sources have confirmed both families are prepared to move on from the relationship.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez sparked divorce rumors in May when he did not attend the Met Gala with her and moved out of their marital home into a rental house in Brentwood, California. They listed their Beverly Hills mansion for sale in July and Lopez has been seen house-hunting in the Los Angeles area. The couple has been seen wearing and not wearing their wedding rings on several occasions. They did come together to celebrate their children’s milestones over the summer, including Affleck’s kids’ graduation parties. Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday in the Hamptons without Affleck in July, and she spent his 52nd birthday at a Bruno Mars concert in LA.
Affleck and Lopez held an extravagant Georgia wedding in August 2022 after legally marrying in Las Vegas that July. They have been through a rollercoaster relationship over the years, with rumors of a split circulating throughout their time together. However, they remained committed to making their marriage work until recently, when Affleck’s lack of interest drove Lopez to make the decision to file for divorce. The couple had finally managed to deal with unresolved issues from the past but ultimately realized that they were not suited for a long-term commitment. Despite the emotional toll of the breakup, both Affleck and Lopez are ready to move on and start new chapters in their lives.
