Los Angeles, California – Ben Affleck sparked speculation as he shielded his ring finger from photographers amidst rumors of marital troubles with Jennifer Lopez. The 51-year-old actor was captured in Los Angeles picking up his son, Samuel, from school, where he cleverly obscured his left hand with a blue sweater.
As Affleck and his 12-year-old son walked to their car, the actor strategically kept his arm bent and covered with the sweater, avoiding any sight of his ring finger. Despite being aware of the paparazzi’s presence, Affleck chose not to engage with them, while his son took matters into his own hands by capturing photos of the photographers with a professional camera.
Amidst speculation about his marriage with Jennifer Lopez, Affleck’s actions have fueled rumors of trouble in paradise. Reports suggest that the couple has been living separately for most of May, with Affleck spotted without his wedding ring in recent sightings.
While the couple has not officially addressed the rumors, their absence from public events together and lack of recent photographs together have raised eyebrows. Lopez’s social media activity, including liking a post about unhealthy relationships, has added fuel to the ongoing speculation about the status of their relationship.
Despite the rumors, Affleck and Lopez were recently seen together at a movie event, both donning their wedding bands. Affleck’s visible wedding band has been the subject of scrutiny, especially after he was spotted without it in a subsequent sighting.
As rumors continue to swirl, both Affleck and Lopez have been spotted without their wedding rings at various public appearances. While Lopez continues to accessorize with her ring, Affleck’s actions have left fans questioning the state of their relationship.
Sources close to Affleck have suggested that he has come to terms with the fact that the marriage may not work out. The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022, have yet to confirm or deny the speculations about their relationship.
Affleck, who shares children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, and Lopez, who has children from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony, have faced ongoing scrutiny and speculation about the future of their relationship as fans and media outlets closely monitor their every move.
