Jennifer Lopez attends Netflix premiere alone as Ben Affleck is seen looking stressed on set during divorce rumors
JENNIFER Lopez stepped out at an event without her husband amid rumors the couple are getting a divorce.
The 54-year-old singer attended the premiere of Netflix’s Atlas in Hollywood while Ben Affleck was seen on set working on his new movie, Animals.
JLo walked the red carpet in a skin-tight two-piece that accentuated her hourglass figure.
The look comprised of a white strapless bandeau top that cropped underneath her chest to show a strip of her stomach.
On the bottom, she wore a black skirt that fanned out in a fishtail style.
JLo’s hair was scraped back into an updo and she dressed up her look with several blue gems around her neck.
She held a black clutch bag and showed off her huge diamond ring on her wedding finger.
While JLo still sported the rock, Ben appeared to have ditched his ring.
On the same evening, Ben wore a casual outfit as he walked through what appeared to be a movie set.
He looked to be leaving, as he held a duffel bag and a black iced coffee in his hand.
Ben donned a red graphic T-shirt paired with blue denim jeans and a red jean jacket.
The star looked solemn and tired as he walked while looking down at the ground.
His wedding ring was noticeably absent.
The star appeared to ditch his wedding ring earlier this week following rumors they have divorced.
Rumors started after Ben was said to have moved out of their shared home weeks ago.
On Friday, an insider revealed to Us Weekly that Ben, 51, moved out of their $60 million home in Beverly Hills, California “several weeks ago.”
ON THE ROCKS
The couple began having problems “a few months ago,” according to another source.
“They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour.”
The U.S. Sun reached out to JLo and Ben’s reps for comment.
Fans noticed that the pair started arriving at events separately, with JLo arriving at the Met Gala without her husband earlier this month.
A source exclusively explained the duo’s dynamic to The U.S. Sun, saying, “The ground rules are, Jennifer and Ben are allowed to go off and do projects, appearances and work that completely don’t involve each other, and definitely involve spending weeks at a time apart.
“The fundamental difference between them is that Jennifer has an incredible golden optimism about every situation and Ben sees everything – and I mean everything – in his life as a problem that only he can solve.
“She’s good at ignoring little, insignificant stuff and focusing on the big picture and he isn’t,” the insider added.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck relationship timeline
JLo and Ben were first linked together in 2002 and became engaged later that year. However, they called off the wedding just two years later. They rekindled their romance in 2021 and finally got hitched in 2022. Here is a timeline of their love story:

The rumors have left others divided, however, with another source claiming the husband and wife of two years are on the rocks.
“It’s over; they’re headed for a divorce and for once [Ben’s] not to blame. He’s focusing on his work and kids now,” the source told In Touch.
“They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted.”
Jennifer and Ben reunited in July 2021 after breaking off their engagement two decades earlier.
Their romance quickly blossomed, and they got engaged the following April.
