Ben Affleck was spotted out in Los Angeles on Friday with his wedding ring on his finger amid rumors that he and wife Jennifer Lopez are on the rocks. The 51-year-old filmmaker was casually dressed in a blue button-up shirt layered over a blue T-shirt as he added light wash blue jeans and multicolor sneakers.
He was clean-shaven and although Jennifer, 54, was not present, his wedding band indicated that the two are still committed to each other. The Boston-bred actor sipped from a large cup of iced coffee and wore a pensive expression on his face.
Meanwhile, Jennifer shared a video on Friday morning where she was seen drinking Delola cocktails with her pals during a backyard barbecue at the $60M mansion she used to share with Ben as he was spotted bringing in delivery pizza to the $100,000 a month rental he is staying in near ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

This sighting comes amid news that Affleck had a special role in helping JLo as she filmed her new movie Atlas, which hit theaters on May 24. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Lopez’s co-star Sterling K. Brown revealed, ‘Every once in a while, Ben would read the lines for Smith,’ a character in the Brad Peyton-directed feature. Brown went on to say, ‘I think the newlyweds — still very much in love — I think she just wanted to hear his voice.
‘And so sometimes, the reactions that you got from her were because she was listening to her husband’s voice.’ It’s been claimed that Affleck and Lopez have clashed over their views on public attention after she aired out intimate details of their rekindled romance in her Prime Video documentary that was released in April.
Lopez has reportedly banned questions about Affleck during her Atlas promotional appearances, as the couple continues to be plagued by divorce gossip. According to TMZ, the media was also informed that Lopez would only participate in group interviews with co-stars Simu Liu and Brown.
However, during a press conference in Mexico, a reporter asked the singer point blank about the split rumors. Lopez — who was wearing her wedding ring — laughed off the question before telling the male reporter: ‘You know better than that.’

Lopez has been divorced three times. The singer’s first marriage was to Cuban actor Ojani Noa, 49, in 1997. It lasted 11 months. She tied the knot again with choreographer Cris Judd, 54, in 2001; they divorced in 2003. Lopez married singer Marc Anthony, 55, in 2004 and they welcomed twins Max and Emme, 16, during their 10-year marriage. They separated in 2011 and their divorce was finalized in 2014.
The Bronx native was engaged to Alex Rodriguez from 2019-2021 before they called it quits. Meanwhile, Jennifer did not seem to have a care in the world during a video shared to Insta Stories early on Friday morning. The beauty looked ready for a summer pool party as she sat in the backyard of the $60M mansion in Bel Air, California that she used to share with Affleck. The Atlas actress wore a strapless spring dress that was ivory with a floral print as she added a flirty beige hat with a pale green ribbon over her long lightened hair.
The star was with two of her oldest pals as they drank her brand of alcohol, Delola, on the rocks in wine glasses. The three cheered to ‘success’ as JLo added, ‘Here is to the tour.’ Lopez is kicking off a Greatest Hits tour in July. Jennifer Lopez drinks cocktails with pals in advert for Delola
Lopez was sitting on top of a table as she talked directly to her fans. She addressed her ‘JLovers’ telling them that her pals were grilling up fruit to put into her Delola drinks. They had grilled oranges and pineapple that Lopez said added a ‘smoky’ flavor and then she ate one of the pieces of fruit. There was no sign of sadness on Jennifer’s face as she appears to be going through a tough time with Ben.
