Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have remained silent on the swirling divorce rumors, but their actions are louder than any words could ever be. On Thursday, the actors made a reunion in Los Angeles, attending Violet Affleck's graduation party, the eldest daughter of Ben and his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
In the photos captured by Entertainment Tonight, JLo and Ben were spotted walking along the street, accompanied by Ben's mother, Anne Boldt. The Batman star exuded elegance in a sleek grey suit, his face freshly shaved, while Lopez radiated summer vibes in a floral maxi dress that accentuated her waistline and sported oversized sunglasses.
Ben, the proud father, carried a large woven basket adorned with pink wrapping paper, presumably filled with gifts for his daughter. He was present at the graduation ceremony and arrived solo, while JLo's absence was understandable given her ongoing international press tour for Atlas.
Garner had earlier expressed her excitement about watching her daughter graduate, her emotions overflowing into tears. The former couple also shares two other children, Finn, 15, and Samuel, 12, who were likely at the party to show their support for their big sister.
It's an exceptional moment for the Affleck clan, and JLo's presence seems to be a promising omen for their union. Their last public sighting was a fortnight ago, precisely on May 19, at the charming Aero Theater nestled in Santa Monica, California.
Rumors of a rift in their idyllic relationship have been swirling for weeks. The star of Selena, who captivated hearts at the 2024 Met Gala alone on May 6, sparked speculation. However, insiders clarified that he was engrossed in filming The Accountant 2.
Subsequently, reports emerged that the couple had parted ways and Lopez was spotted scouting for properties in Beverly Hills, California. When a reporter attempted to broach the subject of divorce rumors with JLo at the premiere of Atlas in Mexico, she diplomatically retorted, "you know better than that."
As for Affleck, despite reportedly maintaining a cheerful demeanor among friends and on the set, he's appeared visibly irritated by the paparazzi, which is quite understandable. He even resorted to using a sweater to conceal his ring finger after wild rumors circulated about him being spotted without it. Nevertheless, it's common for actors to remove their rings for filming purposes.
Only time will reveal the truth behind what's really brewing between the couple. Lopez, who has reportedly been "focused" on her work, is gearing up for a busy schedule. Her highly anticipated 30-show tour, titled "This Is Me...Now: The Tour," is set to kick off in Orlando, Florida, and wrap up on August 17, 2024, in the bustling city of New York.
