Ever since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have seemed to have some trouble in paradise, people have been even more hyper-focused on them. A lot of the focus seems to be on their wedding ring fingers. Every time either of them is spotted in public, people make sure to check whether they are wearing their wedding ring.

Earlier this week, Lopez posted a video for her JLO Beauty brand, and people were quick to notice that the 54-year-old singer was not wearing her wedding ring in the video. This was surprising, as she has been steadily wearing it in public even with all the rumors swirling about it.

In the video, Lopez’s hands were front and center as she showed off some JLO Beauty brands to her followers. Everyone can see her ring finger missing the big rock Affleck placed on it almost two years ago.

The couple has been facing vicious rumors about their split since May this year. Even with the immense public speculation, they have retained a united front without making any statements to the public about their private lives.

Sources close to the couple have been speaking unofficially on their behalf. At the end of May this year, a source close to the couple revealed that both of them are trying to save their marriage.

“Ben and Jen don’t want to get divorced,” the source said, adding that the pair “are saying they won’t, but their relationship is simply not working at this point. They aren’t done yet and want to fix things because they love each other, but they are also both unhappy.”

Last month, the media learned that the couple is quietly trying to sell their home that they bought together in May 2023.

In late May, Lopez also announced the shocking decision that she would not be embarking on her 30+ city tour titled This Is Me… Live, in support of her latest album, This Is Me… Now.

The singer expressed a personal apology to her fans via her newsletter, OntheJLO.

“I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” she wrote. “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…”

A source revealed that her decision came because “she wants to focus on her family and the stress from it has been a lot for her.” While the rumors swirl, Affleck and Lopez have been seen out in public. Whenever they have been spotted in public, they usually wear their wedding rings. However, Affleck was seen without his wedding ring late last month when he was getting dinner with his eldest child, his 18-year-old daughter Violet.

Affleck shares three children with ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Apart from Violet, they share children Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. Garner and Affleck were married for over ten years, having married in 2005 and divorcing in 2018.

Lopez shares two children, twins 16-year-old twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony.

Another source has shared that Lopez and Affleck are “trying to be as amicable as possible.”

“They still want the best for everyone involved,” the source shared, “including their kids, the rest of their families, and shared friends.”

There has been much speculation about the couple’s marriage, and it has only grown in the last couple of months. The source shared, “Ben and Jen are aware that their fans are paying attention to see if they’re wearing their rings or not.

In a similar vein, Lopez reportedly donned her wedding ring once again when she stepped out in public yesterday. Pictures of her buying plants in New York City showed her sporting her famous green diamond ring from Lopez.
