Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been spotted sporting their wedding bands – despite rumors of living separately amidst marital troubles. Batman star Ben was seen with his ring while dropping his kids at school in sunny Los Angeles.
Around the same time, JLo was photographed getting out of her car, wearing her wedding ring, en route to a dance studio in LA. Being a true style icon, she paired a chic dark blue cropped top with matching sweatpants.
The Good Will Hunting star was previously photographed solo outside a house in posh Brentwood, California, supposedly his residence away from his wife while they work on their marital woes.
The glittering couple, last seen in public holding hands in the hustle and bustle of New York on March 30, seems to be dealing with challenges in their marriage.

A source revealed to Us Weekly: “Jen and Ben are having issues in their marriage. They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour.”
All set to ignite the stage with her This Is Me… Live tour next month, Jennifer Lopez, aged 54, is due to kick off the tour in Orlando, Florida, and wrap it up on August 17, 2024, in the heart of New York City. The tour correlates with her ninth studio album ‘This Is Me… Now’, lauded by her self-funded film ‘This Is Me… Now: A Love Story’ which was featured on Amazon Prime in February 2024.

“Jen is very focused on work,” a source said. “They are on two completely different pages most of the time.”
Another insider confirmed that the power couple isn’t heading for splitsville just yet, while a third confidante shared that J. Lo and Ben are actively working on their relationship dynamics. Earlier this month, J. Lo made a solo appearance at the Met Gala as a co-chair.
The star is also busy shooting the film adaptation of the 1993 musical, ‘Kiss of the Spider Woman.’ Meanwhile, Ben, aged 51, has been spotted on the west coast filming ‘The Accountant 2,’ and he recently showed up for Netflix’s live broadcast of ‘The Roast of Tom Brady’ on May 5.

Bennifer 2.0 became official in 2021 after they famously dated from 2002 to 2004. They tied the knot in a Vegas elopement before celebrating with a grand wedding in July 2022 at Affleck’s sprawling estate near Savannah.
Both have kids from previous relationships; J. Lo co-parents 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex Marc Anthony, and Ben shares Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with his ex Jennifer Garner.
J. Lo opened up about their rekindled romance in her 2024 documentary titled ‘The Greatest Love Story Never Told,’ which explores their love saga, and she also gushed about it during a February interview on Australia’s ‘Kyle and Jackie O Show.
“I fell in love with the love of my life [earlier in life] and for whatever reasons, we needed to grow and do other things,” she explained on the show. “We both went off and had children with other people and other relationships, but you know in my mind I kind of had it like, ‘Oh, that was kind of The One.’”
