AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez recently reunited for a family gathering amid escalating divorce rumors, sparking further speculation about the state of their marriage.
On Thursday, May 30, the star couple was seen attending a graduation celebration for Affleck's 18-year-old daughter, Violet. Despite the festive occasion, neither Affleck nor Lopez seemed to be in high spirits, projecting anything but marital bliss. They were last seen together nearly two weeks prior at a movie event alongside Affleck's ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
Observers noted that the usually glamorous Lopez kept her head down and wore oversize sunglasses as she walked beside Affleck. The Batman star carried a large wicker basket presumably filled with gifts for Violet, while Lopez was spotted with her hands in the pockets of her floral tea dress, avoiding exposing her left hand.
Interestingly, Affleck has been seen without his wedding band multiple times over the past month, though it reappeared on his hand during a solo outing last Friday.
The reunion, which included Affleck's mother, Christopher Anne "Chris" Boldt, marks the couple's first sighting in twelve days. They were previously putting on a frosty display at Affleck's child Fin's school recital just days before the graduation event, and before that, they had not been seen together in seven weeks, last appearing in New York City in late March.
Speculation around their relationship has intensified recently, with the couple skipping various public events together. Notably, Lopez attended the Met Gala solo on May 6, and Affleck did not join her during her recent press tour for her new Netflix sci-fi action flick, "Atlas". The couple was also absent from one another for Memorial Day celebrations, further raising questions about their union.
Rumors suggest that Affleck and Lopez have been living separately for weeks, with Affleck reportedly moving out of their $60.85 million mansion to a $100,000-a-month property in Brentwood, Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Lopez has been seen house hunting alone in Beverly Hills.
Despite the numerous signs pointing towards a split, representatives for both Affleck and Lopez have yet to publicly address or confirm the current status of their relationship. Fans continue to watch closely as the fate of this high-profile couple remains uncertain.
Although Lopez hasn't addressed the split rumors, banning all questions about Ben Affleck during press junket for her new movie, she recently talked about her attempt to scale down her busy schedule and "be home more."
