American singer and actress Jennifer Lopez prominently displayed her wedding ring at the Los Angeles premiere of her new Netflix movie, “Atlas,” on Monday, quelling rumors of marital troubles with actor Ben Affleck.
Jennifer Lopez graced the red carpet in a chic ensemble, featuring a simple ivory top and a black mermaid skirt, complemented by a statement necklace and matching earrings adorned with green stones. Notably, the platinum wedding band she shares with Affleck, whom she married in Las Vegas in July 2022, was visibly on her left hand.
This appearance follows their recent outing together in Los Angeles, where they attended a family event and later dined at a restaurant. During this outing, Affleck also wore his wedding band, while Lopez was seen keeping her hands in her pockets as they walked through a parking lot.
Their public appearances come amid weeks of speculation about their relationship. Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala, which she co-chaired, without Affleck, and she recently liked an Instagram post hinting at challenges in maintaining relationships with individuals disconnected from themselves.
Rumors of a potential separation escalated when multiple reports suggested the couple was living apart. However, Lopez and Affleck have a history of enduring relationship challenges. They initially broke up in 2003, only to rekindle their romance nearly two decades later.
In a 2022 interview, Lopez described calling off their first engagement as the “biggest heartbreak” of her life, yet she remains optimistic about their future together. “Once we got whole enough, complete enough, loved ourselves enough, and could stand on our own two feet really completely, as the universe had it, we were brought into each other’s lives again,” she explained. “It was like a crack in the clouds and the sun came through.”
Lopez’s decision to wear her wedding ring at the premiere suggests that she and Affleck may be addressing their reported issues and are committed to their marriage.
