Ben Affleck Spotted Without Wedding Ring After Jennifer Lopez Files for Divorce
Ben Affleck was seen for the first time since his wife, Jennifer Lopez, filed for divorce, and he wasn’t wearing his wedding ring. The 52-year-old actor was spotted entering an office building in Los Angeles on Tuesday, and he kept his attire casual, wearing a gray T-shirt, jeans, and sunglasses.
According to reports, Lopez and Affleck have been taking their wedding rings on and off during various outings, amid rumors about their relationship status. On Tuesday, Affleck’s bare hands were hard to miss.
Earlier this year, a source revealed that the couple hit a rough patch in their marriage. “They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour.”
The source added that Lopez was “very focused on work,” and the couple was “on two completely different pages most of the time.”
Affleck and Lopez originally started dating in 2002 after meeting on the set of Gigli. They called off their engagement two years later but reconciled in 2021 after Lopez’s high-profile split from Alex Rodriguez.
The director proposed for a second time in April 2022, and they eloped three months later in Las Vegas. Affleck and Lopez celebrated their wedding again two months later with a ceremony with their friends and family.

Before their split, Affleck and Lopez’s romance was front and center in This Is Me … Now: A Love Story. The highly stylized take on Lopez’s life — which accompanied her most recent album — explored their relationship on screen. Lopez later shared that the project never would have made it off the ground without the encouragement of Affleck.
“I was like, ‘I don’t write, I don’t do this,’” Lopez recalled at a press conference in February, which was the last month her and Affleck made a public appearance together as a couple. “He was like, ‘You do, you write, you direct, you produce, you choreograph, you do all the things. Start stepping into that, start owning a little bit of who you are.’”
Lopez previously gushed over Affleck’s commitment to the project. “We collaborate very well together,” she told Entertainment Tonight in December 2023. “So we were able to kind of sit down and really dig into it, in a way that I don’t think any other writer could’ve done with me.”
