Ben Affleck has finally ditched his wedding ring as insiders have claimed that his near two year marriage with Jennifer Lopez has been ‘over for months’ now.
The 51-year-old Argo director was seen ringless while arriving at his office in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
The outing comes days after it was claimed that his marriage with 54-year-old actress J.Lo has been ‘over for months’ now, according to a new report. lime
The Hustlers star and the Argo director have ‘been apart since March’ as per a source who spoke with Page Six on July 1.
Despite their marital woes, the insider added that Affleck is ‘very protective of Jennifer.’
The pair — who have not been pictured together in almost one month — have been at the center of split rumors for months, and are said to be ‘on the edge of divorce.’
DailyMail.com had reached out to Lopez’s and Affleck’s representatives for comment at the time.
Also on July 1, it was reported that the pair are selling off art work from inside their $60M mansion in Bel-Air, California.
The house was listed for $65M last month.
And now it seems some of the pricy stuff inside the boxy white two story, 12-bedroom building – referred to as the ‘Wallingford estate’ – is getting the heave-ho as well.
Page Six claimed on Monday morning that items like painting and ‘other items’ were sold off to collectors in early June.
The lovebirds have not been seen in public together since June 2 when they had an awkward cheek kiss at his son Samuel’s basketball game in Los Angeles. lime
This comes days after People reported that Affleck picked up the last of his items from the dwelling when Jennifer was vacationing in Italy last month.
The stars are no longer living together; she is residing in their $60M Bel Air, California mansion while he is staying at his $100K a month rental located near his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Affleck and Garner share three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
‘Ben continues to live at the Brentwood rental,’ a source told the site.
Affleck has been carrying on as business as usual amid constant rumors that he is ready to divorce his wife of only two years.
‘He’s been there for about two months now,’ another source added.
‘He seems okay. He’s been at his office every day and seems focused on work. He’s also spending time with his kids.’
Jennifer, on the other hand, seems to be trying to enjoy some fun this summer as she was seen in Paris then in Italy with close pals.
The two appear to still be in contact.
They have business ties: Lopez is set to star in two upcoming movies for Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company. Those films are Unstoppable and Kiss Of The Spider Woman. lime
This comes a week after a source told DailyMail.com that Jennifer is ‘over’ trying to make her marriage with Ben work.
Amid rumors about the status of the couple’s marriage, an industry insider has now claimed that the pop star has reached her wit’s end and no longer feels that she can do any ‘more’ to save the relationship.
‘Jenny has had enough and she really tried but she can do no more, it’s not getting any better, it’s worse,’ a music industry source told DailyMail.com.
Jennifer is sad about the end of her nuptials but ‘is trying to make the best of it by working out, spending time with her twins Max and Emme and making new plans for 2025,’ they went on. lime
One of those new plans is resuming her This Is Me… Live tour for the summer of 2025 when she turns 56. She canceled the 2024 tour that was scheduled to kick off in July in order to ‘recollect herself.’
‘She is excited about going on tour next year when her personal life is on calmer ground and she can connect with her fans. She will take her tribe with her and make the most of it,’ said the source.
Lopez is also said to be ‘shocked’ by the bad press she has been getting, which she believes is not fair.
‘If people could see what she has really gone through they would be easier on her,’ said the source.
‘Ben is a great guy but he can be grumpy and a downer. I think the world saw that in photos like when they were at the Grammys last year; he wouldn’t smile. If they saw how it really was, they would not attack her,’ said the friend of Jennifer.
‘He chain smokes and cusses and seems irritated a lot of the time. Great director and actor, but not a lot of laughs with him, you know?’ said the source. ‘He is a wonderful father though.’
‘She is living alone and not with Ben, I think everyone knows that already, so that is a major change for her and the kids,’ said the pal. Indeed, Ben moved into a $100K a month rental near Garner months ago.
‘Of course Jenny is sad, she loves Ben, but they are just too different, there is no give and take, there was no blending, they are just on separate tracks.’
The source added that Jennifer gave it her all: ‘She really tried hard to make it work, and it just did not work.’
‘She invested a lot of time and energy, and I think he did the same. There is no one to blame here. It just was not in the cards. It is very hard for two massive stars to keep a marriage going, one has to give in, and in this case neither gave in.’
The couple’s love story started in 2002 when they dated while filming the movie Jersey Girl. They became engaged the following year but broke up in 2004. They then rekindled their romance in the spring of 2021.
The duo married in a Las Vegas ceremony in July 2022, followed by a lavish wedding at his Georgia estate on August 2022.
