Recent speculation surrounding the relationship status of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck has heightened following Affleck being seen without his wedding ring for the first time. In images obtained by TMZ, the 51-year-old actor was photographed driving to his children's recital on May 17 without his ring on his left hand. This sighting comes amidst swirling rumors suggesting a potential split between Affleck and JLo.
Although Affleck was ringless on May 17, both he and JLo were seen wearing their rings the day prior when he picked her up. On May 17, JLo was spotted still wearing her ring as she headed to dance practice.
Adding fuel to the speculation, JLo recently liked a cryptic Instagram post by relationship coach Lenna Marsak, which touched on the importance of integrity and respect in a relationship. The post emphasized the challenges of building a healthy relationship with someone who lacks emotional safety and self-awareness.
An unnamed insider reportedly informed In Touch on May 15 that the couple is no longer together. The source suggested that despite their enduring love for each other, fundamental differences prevented them from making the relationship work. Affleck is said to have moved out of their shared residence to focus on his professional commitments and his children.
According to TMZ, Affleck is now residing permanently at his property in Brentwood, Los Angeles, after being photographed driving in the area.
As the situation continues to unfold, fans and followers of the celebrity couple are eagerly awaiting further updates on the status of their relationship.
