Ben Affleck's Solo Weekend: What He Was Really Up to While J.Lo Celebrated in Style
Ben Affleck made headlines over the weekend as he was spotted without his wedding ring while Jennifer Lopez was living it up in the Hamptons for her 55th birthday celebrations.
The "Argo" actor was seen in Los Angeles on Sunday, ditching his wedding ring while running errands in a casual red T-shirt and gray pants. Across the country, his wife was hosting a birthday lunch, sparking speculation about their relationship status.
The following day, Affleck was back to business mode as he arrived at his office in a sharp navy suit. Carrying an iced coffee and his essentials, it was unclear if he had put his wedding band back on.
Meanwhile, Lopez was spotted in the Hamptons, flaunting her bedazzled band at an Equinox location. The "Jenny From the Block" singer rocked a comfy yet stylish look, showcasing her abs in a cream sports bra and white linen pants.
Lopez's birthday weekend was nothing short of extravagant. She kicked off the celebrations with a lavish "Bridgerton"-themed party at her Hamptons rental, where guests arrived in Regency-inspired attire and were greeted by a horse-drawn carriage.
The following day, Lopez hosted an intimate lunch with close family and friends at Arthur & Sons, donning a chic white romper and a statement necklace. Emotions ran high as she shared stories from her past with her twins, Max and Emme, and sister Lynda by her side.
Amidst the birthday festivities, Lopez and Affleck also marked their 2-year wedding anniversary, albeit apart. While Lopez enjoyed the Hamptons with manager Benny Medina, Affleck remained focused on his commitments in LA.
Rumors of trouble in paradise surfaced in May when Lopez attended the Met Gala solo, despite being a co-chair for the event. Shortly after, Affleck moved out of their Beverly Hills mansion, which they recently listed for $68 million.
The couple, who reportedly bought the property in cash just a year ago, are now in a rush to sell it. While neither Lopez nor Affleck has publicly addressed the state of their marriage, insiders suggest that it has been on the rocks for months.
As the speculation continues, fans are left wondering about the future of one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples. Stay tuned for more updates on Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's relationship saga.
