Ben Affleck was spotted without his wedding ring while out in Los Angeles on Tuesday, the same day Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce. The actor appeared unfazed as he walked through a parking garage to reach his office, dressed casually in a light gray T-shirt with a black lightning logo, blue jeans, and black and white Nike sneakers. He accessorized with aviator sunglasses and a light brown watch but notably did not wear his ring.
Meanwhile, Lopez was seen in New York City still wearing her 8.5-carat green diamond engagement ring from Affleck despite filing for divorce. The court documents, submitted on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony, listed the date of separation as April 26.
Sources revealed that Affleck showed no interest in reconciling their marriage, leading Lopez to make the decision to end it. The couple, who first dated in the early 2000s, got engaged, and later reconciled in 2021, reportedly did not have a prenuptial agreement.
Although no official statement has been released by Affleck and Lopez, sources suggest that both parties and their families are prepared to move forward. The divorce rumors initially surfaced in May when Affleck did not accompany Lopez to the Met Gala and subsequently moved out of their marital home.
They listed their Beverly Hills mansion for $68 million in July, with Lopez seen house-hunting in the LA area. Despite being photographed both with and without their wedding rings, the couple came together to celebrate their children's milestones over the summer.
Rumors intensified after Lopez celebrated her 55th birthday without Affleck in the Hamptons and spent his 52nd birthday at a Bruno Mars concert in LA. The couple had an extravagant Georgia wedding in August 2022 after legally marrying in Las Vegas the previous July.
