Just hours after it was reported that Ben Affleck had come to his senses about his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, the actor was once again spotted without his wedding ring. The 51-year-old actor was spotted on set Monday afternoon carrying a duffel bag, even though he was NOT wearing his wedding ring anymore.
Not only did the actor stop wearing the ring, but he was also absent from his wife’s big Netflix movie premiere . Lopez, 54, walked the red carpet alone at the premiere of her movie Atlas, held at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood on Monday, even though she was wearing a ring. There have been reports that the couple are having trouble moving into their own home and haven’t been seen together in weeks. They were then spotted leaving the Aero Theater in Santa Monica over the weekend, with both Ben and Jen wearing their wedding rings.
Ben was also photographed in the car with Jen, holding his phone, with her call screen showing, revealing that she was on his phone as ‘Jennifer Affleck’. Oddly enough, Lopez herself was actually sitting in the car right next to him, denying that she needed to call him. A report surfaced on Monday from PageSix claiming Affleck has ‘come to his senses’ about his marriage to Lopez. The source described the marriage as a ‘fever dream’ and that he was so infatuated with Lopez that he didn’t think it through. It is also claimed that he now ‘knows’ he has to divorce her, although another report from People claims they will try to work things out.
People claims they disagree about how they are seen in public, although the source claims they will stay together because they have ‘a great love story’. “They just have very different approaches when it comes to attracting media attention,” a source said. ‘Ben hates all the attention and it makes him very uncomfortable. Jennifer always has a different approach.” It was added that sharing too much about his personal life is not ‘his way’. ‘It doesn’t make him happy and causes stress in his life and subsequently hers. There’s no doubt their different styles clash,’ the source added.
Fans started noticing something was wrong with the power couple earlier this month when they weren’t photographed together for nearly two months. But they have busy careers: he’s filming The Account 2 in Los Angeles and she’s co-chairing the Met Gala in New York City. Headlines claiming they were on the rocks were circulating everywhere. But then suddenly she was seen smiling at her husband while his son Seraphina was performing in a school play last week.
