Ben Affleck was recently seen without his wedding ring, which has fueled rumors that he and Jennifer Lopez might be having marital problems.
Their relationship, once celebrated as a beautiful reunion, is now facing difficulties like living apart and constant public attention. They are also dealing with the effects of their past relationships.
The rumors started on May 18 when TMZ shared a photo of Ben in a car without his wedding ring. This picture made many people think that Ben and JLo, who have been married for nearly two years, might be splitting up.
Fans and onlookers quickly reacted. Some were not surprised, saying things like, “They both need to just learn to be happy on their own,” and “Sorry but I am not surprised at all!”
Others worried more, with comments like, “Oh no, not his wedding ring,” and, “Soooo maybe it’s NOT a rumor,” suggesting that there might be deeper issues.
Some people questioned if Ben was trying to send a message, asking, “Isn’t he showing that hand up on purpose tho?”
There were also comments about Ben’s past, with one person saying, “He should have stayed with Jennifer Garner.”
Another commenter was sympathetic, hoping that JLo takes care of herself and that Ben gets through this tough time, wishing them both the best.
Despite all the rumors, another fan was hopeful, saying, “I certainly hope not…I really pray they stay together for the long run. They really love each other, I’m sure!”
The story took a turn on May 19 when another photo showed Ben wearing his wedding ring again while driving in Los Angeles.
This happened right after Ben and JLo were seen together in public for the first time in 47 days on May 17. They were spotted in a parking lot, with JLo holding flowers and Ben carrying some papers after attending an event for Ben’s children, which his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, also attended.
Later that evening, Ben Affleck was seen picking up Jennifer Lopez and her daughter, Emme Muñiz, from outside a school. Ben leaned over to open the car door for JLo, who sat in the front seat, while Emme got into the back. Ben then drove away with a serious look on his face.
Even though there are still rumors about their relationship, these recent sightings show that Ben and JLo are still together. They have previously said that constant public attention was one of the reasons they broke up in the early 2000s.
