This week, the spotlight has been firmly fixed on Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck as their relationship continues to raise eyebrows.
Lopez recently made headlines by donning a crop top emblazoned with the phrase “JLo be my mama.”
This playful gesture comes at a time when she has also resumed wearing her wedding ring, which she briefly set aside to promote her JLo beauty line.
As divorce rumors swirl around the couple, Affleck has been spotted both wearing and not wearing his wedding band, leading fans to speculate about the state of their marriage.
Despite the ongoing chatter, neither Lopez nor Affleck has publicly addressed the swirling gossip.
They have, however, fueled speculation by spending the 4th of July apart, with Lopez enjoying time in New York while Affleck was elsewhere.
In recent months, Lopez took a trip to Italy with friends, further igniting discussions about her relationship with Affleck.
Their absence from each other’s side during significant family events, such as Affleck’s son Samuel’s graduation, has not gone unnoticed either.
Since Lopez attended the Met Gala solo back in May, many have scrutinized the couple’s union more closely.
An insider recently shared with Page Six that Lopez seems to have thrown in the towel on their marriage, while Affleck reportedly harbors regrets about their relationship.
The source claimed that Affleck feels as though the past two years were merely a fleeting dream and has come to the realization that their marriage is unlikely to succeed.
Another insider revealed that their marriage has been on shaky ground since spring.
Yet, Affleck remains fiercely protective of Lopez, despite the couple’s struggles.
The duo famously tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022, two decades after their first engagement, and celebrated with a formal ceremony a month later at Affleck’s home in Georgia.
Now, they are attempting to sell their marital home, which they purchased for a staggering $60 million earlier this year.
It seems like the couple’s romantic revival has not been embraced by everyone.
Reports indicate that Lopez’s family has expressed concerns regarding their relationship, particularly in light of the recent split rumors.
Despite the swirling speculation, J.Lo appears unfazed.
She celebrated the 4th of July in New York alongside her children, Emma and Max, and her manager, Benny Medina.
Adding to the intrigue, she was recently seen sporting a charm bracelet that seemed to feature Ben Affleck’s initials, hinting that perhaps the marriage is far from over.
Known for her impeccable style, Lopez turned heads in an all-white outfit while out shopping with friends in Bridgehampton.
She wore a white linen shirt paired with chic white pants, complemented by a tan wide-brimmed hat that added a summery flair.
Her look was completed with a chunky gold bracelet, a delicate silver necklace, and stylish accessories.
As both Lopez and Affleck have been spotted with and without their wedding bands, the rollercoaster of their relationship continues to captivate fans and media alike.
With each new sighting and every twist in their story, the question remains: where do they stand, and what does the future hold for this once-beloved couple?
