Jennifer Lopez made a bold move by removing her wedding ring amidst swirling rumors about her relationship with Ben Affleck. Recent reports have suggested that the couple is no longer on speaking terms and that divorce proceedings might be looming. Despite this, Jennifer looked stylish and composed as she was seen exploring a luxurious mansion in Beverly Hills, worth a whopping $68 million. With her daughter Emme by her side, Jennifer showcased a chic look in a black top and cream trousers, exuding an air of sophistication.

Jennifer Lopez has decided to stop wearing her wedding ring, sparking rumors that her relationship with Ben Affleck is on the rocks and leading to speculation of an impending divorce.
The 55-year-old singer and her 51-year-old actor husband have been making headlines recently amid speculation about their divorce. DailyMail.com was the first to report that the paperwork for their separation had been completed but not officially submitted. The couple was spotted together in 2023.
On Monday, Ben was spotted without his wedding ring as he arrived at his LA office, marking the first time he’s been seen without it. Previously, Affleck also showed off his ring-free hand along with a midlife crisis makeover of a faux hawk and rocker tee, sparking speculation about the status of his marriage. The couple, who were once deeply in love and dated from 2002 to 2004, have been seen without their wedding rings lately, indicating that a divorce may be on the horizon after a failed attempt at reconciliation.
As rumors about their high-profile relationship swirl, Ben and Jennifer seem to have cut ties with each other completely. According to TMZ, they have stopped communicating altogether, which has made it challenging for them to reach a mutual agreement. While they have yet to involve lawyers, reports suggest that they plan to hire legal counsel once they come to a settlement.

Amid rumors swirling about the future of their high-profile relationship, it appears that Ben and Jennifer have decided to part ways for the time being. The last time they were seen together was back in March, and since then, they have been spending their summer in different locations – Jennifer on the east coast and Ben staying put in Los Angeles.
Their lack of public appearances together was notable, especially when they spent their wedding anniversary in separate cities on July 16. Speculation about their marriage first arose in May when sources revealed that Ben had moved into a lavish rental, indicating plans to sell their beloved ‘dream home.’
Apparently, differences in personality and values have contributed to the strain in their relationship. While Jennifer is known for her openness and willingness to connect with fans, Ben is more reserved and private in nature. This contrast in their approaches to life has reportedly posed challenges in their day-to-day interactions.
Ben and Jennifer were last seen together back in March, and since then, they have been spending the summer in different locations. Jennifer has been primarily on the east coast, while Ben has stayed in Los Angeles. They were spotted together in 2021, but their recent time apart has sparked rumors about the state of their relationship.
Ben’s house is conveniently located close to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s home in Brentwood. The former couple were married for 13 years, from 2005 to 2018, and they share three children: Violet, who is 18, Fin, who is 15, and Samuel, who is 12.
A body language expert, speaking to DailyMail.com, suggested that Ben and Jennifer no longer appear to be happy together and do not have that “look of love” in their eyes. This has fueled speculation that they may be headed towards another separation.
