At the Los Angeles premiere of her latest film, “Atlas,” Jennifer Lopez attended without the company of Ben Affleck, further adding to the rumors of their possible breakup. The absence of the Hollywood actor, 58, has fueled speculation about the status of their relationship.
Jennifer Lopez made a solo entrance at The Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood for the premiere of Netflix’s Atlas. Contrary to rumors of a breakup, Lopez was spotted wearing a wedding ring on her left hand. Dressed in a striking black-and-white outfit, Lopez posed for photos both alone and with her co-stars Si-mu Liu, Sterling K. Brown, and the film’s director, Brad Peyton.
Affleck’s notable absence from the premiere occurred precisely two weeks after rumors of a split began circulating when Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala without him, even though he was supposed to be one of the event’s co-chairs. A week later, TMZ revealed that the couple was living in separate residences. The 51-year-old Oscar winner reportedly began residing in a house in the Brentwood area of LA, which is less than 30 minutes away from their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion, nearly two weeks ago.
Page Six revealed that Affleck, aged 51, has been discreetly house hunting in the Los Angeles area. On the other hand, Lopez was seen checking out homes last week, although sources suggest she was just looking for an investment property. Despite the lack of public comments from either Affleck or Lopez regarding breakup rumors, the actress recently interacted with an Instagram post discussing unhealthy relationships.
Lopez was joined by her colleagues, Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown, for an event. In a photo captured by Kevin Winter/Getty Images, they all appeared together. Reports surfaced that the actor was spotted without his wedding ring recently before wearing it again during an outing with Lopez and their combined family. Just before the premiere of “Atlas,” a source told Page Six that Affleck had a change of heart regarding his troubled marriage to Lopez. The insider stated that if divorce based on temporary insanity were possible, he would opt for it. The source added that he now feels like the past two years were a crazy blur, and he finally sees that their relationship simply won’t work out.
