Jennifer Lopez hits the red carpet without Ben Affleck amid conflicting rumors
Ben Affleck doesn’t appear to have joined Jennifer Lopez at the Los Angeles premiere of her new film ‘Atlas’ amid growing divisive speculation.
The 54-year-old “Jenny from the Block” singer walked the red carpet on Monday without the “Argo” actor by her side. However, she had a wedding ring on her left ring finger.
Lopez, who looked stunning in a black and white outfit, she posed for photos solo and with Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown and the director of the Netflix film, Brad Peyton.
Affleck’s apparent absence from the premiere comes exactly two weeks after the couple first sparked divisive rumors when Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala without him — despite serving as one of the event’s co-chairs.
A week later, TMZ reported that the couple was living apart.
The 51-year-old Oscar winner reportedly started staying overnight at the home in Los Angeles’ Brentwood neighborhood – less than 30 minutes from his and Lopez’s $60 million Beverly Hills mansion – almost two weeks ago.
Page Six later learned that Affleck, 51, was quietly looking for homes in the Los Angeles area. Meanwhile, Lopez was also spotted looking at houses last week, although we hear she was simply looking for an investment property.
While neither Affleck nor Lopez has publicly commented on the split rumors, the “Marry Me” star recently “liked” an Instagram post about unhealthy relationships.
The “Gone Girl” actor was spotted without his wedding ring over the weekend, and then put it back on for an outing with Lopez and their blended family.
Hours before the premiere of “Atlas,” a source exclusively told Page Six that Affleck had “come to his senses” about the couple’s ill-fated marriage.
“If there was a way to divorce him on the grounds of temporary insanity, he would do it,” our insider said. “He feels like the last two years have been just a fever dream, and now he’s come to his senses and realizes there’s no way this is going to work.”
After calling off their first engagement in the early 2000s, Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance in April 2021.
After a year of dating, the couple eloped to Las Vegas in July 2022.
They married a second time a month later in a lavish ceremony at Affleck’s 87-acre estate in Georgia.
