The Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Divorce Rumor Has Taken a Turn

Everyone was quite sure that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce was all but confirmed, but there’s been a sudden update. Maybe the couple’s two aren’t headed for a split after all.

On June 26, according to Page Six, Lopez was spotted driving to Affleck’s office in Los Angeles after returning from Paris Fashion Week, which she attended without her husband. In another positive sign for the couple’s marriage, Affleck was spotted wearing his wedding ring in photos taken just a day previously, after being seen sans wedding band while JLo was abroad.

Divorce rumors have dogged Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck since March 30, which would be the last time they were photographed together for months. Since then, Lopez has gone stag to the Met Gala, while Affleck attended the Roast of Tom Brady solo. They were reportedly apart for holidays, including Mother’s Day and Memorial Day, and it doesn’t look like Lopez attended her stepdaughter Violet’s graduation party.

Even more troubling, it was widely reported that Affleck had already moved out and the pair had begun shopping for separate houses. TMZ reported on June 8 that their shared $60 million mansion was on the market, which seemed pretty ominous.

“They are taking some space to work out whether or not the relationship is right for both of them,” a source told Us Weekly in late May. However, while the rumors of a split haven’t dissipated completely, there are some signs that things might be back on the right track. So far, neither party has confirmed or denied that a divorce may be on the cards. However, thousands of fans remain optimistic that Jennifer and Ben — who first met in 2002 on the sets of the movie Gigli — will make it through this tumultuous time in their relationship.
