Ben Affleck Spotted With Wedding Ring Amid Jennifer Lopez Divorce

Ben Affleck wears wedding ring amid Jennifer Lopez’s divorce
Ben Affleck was recently snapped on the Los Angeles set of Animals, an upcoming Netflix thriller, sporting a wedding ring on his left hand.
In the candid shots, the Oscar winner appeared just like his usual self. He was dressed in a sharp bluish-gray suit and holding a coffee in one hand while taking a cigarette break, but it was the band on his finger that caught everyone’s eye. (via Page Six)
Whether the ring belongs to him or his on-screen persona remains unclear. Now, given that Animals revolves around a married couple caught in a kidnapping plot, it’s likely the ring is part of his character’s wardrobe. The sighting comes shortly after Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez officially ended their two-year marriage earlier this year.
In a recent interview with GQ, Affleck opened up about his divorce, calling it a deeply personal yet uneventful split. “There’s no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue,” he said. “It’s just a story about people trying to figure out their lives and relationships in ways that we all sort of normally do.”
He emphasized that their breakup wasn’t caused by any “big” event, but rather the ordinary, sometimes painful, process of two people growing apart. “As you get older…there is no “So-and-so did this” or “This was the big event,” he explained.
For those unfamiliar with the couple’s history, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck originally dated in the early 2000s, getting engaged in 2002 before parting ways. They rekindled their romance nearly 20 years later and tied the knot in 2022. However, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce in early 2024, and the couple quietly finalized the paperwork shortly after.
