Jennifer Lopez Spotted Wearing Wedding Ring Despite Anniversary Apart from Ben Affleck
Despite being miles apart on their wedding anniversary, Jennifer Lopez was seen wearing her wedding ring during a bike ride in the Hamptons, suggesting that the couple may still hold hope for their relationship. On the same day that marked their anniversary, the 54-year-old singer and actress was spotted pedaling solo through the upscale seaside community, accompanied by her manager, Benny Medina.
Lopez, dressed in a casual tank top and overalls, completed her laid-back look with hoop earrings, a messy bun, and flip flops. The sighting came amid ongoing rumors about her marriage with Ben Affleck, who was seen separately in Los Angeles. The 51-year-old actor was photographed in business attire at his office, further fueling speculation about their relationship status.
Affleck, reportedly living solo at his Brentwood home since May, and Lopez, who has been seen multiple times with her wedding ring, including during her press tour for her film "Atlas" in May and on July 4, continue to be a topic of interest. The couple's anniversary on July 16 marks two years since their intimate Las Vegas wedding, a milestone that seems overshadowed by recent reports of marital discord.
Their luxurious Beverly Hills home remains on the market, which some see as a sign of their uncertain future. Earlier this month, sources told media outlets that Lopez and Affleck are "doing their own thing right now." This has led to widespread speculation about whether they are on a break or heading towards a more permanent separation.
An insider shared that while the couple has not officially decided the status of their relationship, there remains a "sliver of hope" for reconciliation. "They are both incredibly busy with their careers, which has added strain to their relationship," the source noted. "However, they are committed to working through their issues and have not ruled out the possibility of getting back together."
This latest sighting of Lopez wearing her wedding ring comes as a surprise to many fans and observers who have been following the couple's journey. Known for their on-again, off-again romance that dates back to the early 2000s, Lopez and Affleck rekindled their relationship in 2021, much to the delight of their fans. Their love story, often referred to as "Bennifer," has been one of Hollywood's most talked-about romances.
Their marriage in Las Vegas was a private affair, with the couple later hosting a more elaborate celebration for family and friends. Since then, they have been seen together at numerous public events, often displaying affection and unity. However, the pressures of their high-profile careers and personal lives have taken a toll, leading to the current speculation about their future.
