In a turn of events that will surprise absolutely no one, Ben Affleck was seen brooding alongside Jennifer Lopez recently. Despite rumors of an impending divorce, the veteran actor and director reunited with J-Lo on Sunday.
According to Page Six, Affleck and Lopez attended a movie event at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica, California, before heading to Soho House for a casual outing.
Lopez, 54, exuded chic elegance in slacks and a turtleneck sweater, topped with a long trench coat. In contrast, her Jersey Girl co-star, 51, chose his signature casual look, donning jeans, sneakers, and a Boston-themed graphic tee. Indeed, Affleck also sported his signature nonplussed, exhausted-looking puss.
However, Ben was also spotted wearing some important bling: his wedding ring. Of course, the gossip mill really started churning when he was recently seen without the age-old symbol of commitment.
Ben seemed flustered as they navigated the parking garage, while Lopez kept a neutral expression. Upon reaching the elevator bank, Affleck reportedly cracked a bit, thrusting his arm out in anger.
Of course, Images of a beleaguered-looking Ben Affleck alongside his beloved bride Jennifer Lopez made their way to X (formerly Twitter).
Meanwhile, video footage from the same day outside the theater shows a stoic Affleck jaywalking. Later, he’s spotted alongside J-Lo, the pair appearing emotionless.
Rumors of a Ben Affleck Split with Jennifer Lopez Kicked Off Earlier This Month
The split speculation kicked off after Affleck failed to attend the 2024 Met Gala with Lopez, who served as one of the event’s co-chairs earlier this month.
The rumors continued to swirl after Ben gave a frantic, tonally weird rant during Tom Brady’s recent comedy roast. Instead of poking fun at Brady, a nervous, sweaty Affleck went after internet trolls.
Page Six also reports that Affleck has been actively house-hunting in Los Angeles and is currently living in a separate residence in Brentwood, California, apart from Lopez.
Meanwhile, Lopez was seen touring a home. However, an insider clarified that she was simply seeking an investment property.
Affleck and Lopez first got engaged in the early 2000s, but they hit pause on their love story thanks to the paparazzi’s relentless hounding of the couple. Nearly two decades later, the duo rekindled their relationship and eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022.
The following month, they hosted a second wedding reception at Affleck’s sprawling Georgia estate.
