Ben Affleck was spotted wearing his wedding ring in Santa Monica, California, on Tuesday, May 21, amid ongoing reports of marital issues with Jennifer Lopez. Affleck, 51, was seen with a group of male friends, dressed casually in tan jeans and a navy button-up shirt, with his wedding ring clearly visible on his left hand. Earlier that evening, he dined at the upscale Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.
On the same day, Lopez, 54, attended the premiere of her upcoming movie "Atlas" at Plaza Toreo Parque Central in Mexico City, walking the redcarpet alone. She wore a stunning floor-length white Chloé gown with oversized ruffles and a plunging neckline. The dress flowed over her arms and hands, making it unclear if she was wearing her wedding ring.
This solo appearance by Lopez followed another the previous day, May 20, when she attended the premiere of a Netflix sci-fi movie at the EgyptianTheatre in Hollywood without Affleck. He was reportedly absent due to filming commitments for "The Accountant 2."
Reports suggest that Lopez and Affleck, who married in 2022 after rekindling their early 2000s romance, are facing challenges in their relationship. A source told PEOPLE on Tuesday that their marriage "is not in the best place at the moment." Another insider mentioned that the couple, living a few miles apart, are struggling to find common ground. “She likes to open her heart to her fans and to the world. He is more
introspective and private. This has been difficult day-to-day.”
Despite the challenges, a film industry source acknowledged Affleck's admiration for Lopez's hard work and success, though noted that her opennesand promotional style differ significantly from his more private nature.
