Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez made a surprise appearance together at a family gathering, putting to rest rumors about their potential breakup. The couple, who had been flying under the radar for a while, were spotted heading to celebrate Affleck’s daughter Violet’s graduation. Despite being seen together, both Affleck and Lopez seemed to be in a serious mood and did not display any signs of joy. They left the event together in Affleck’s fancy BMW, but later, Lopez was spotted leaving the rental property where Affleck has been residing on her own. This reunion took place approximately two weeks after their last joint public outing at a movie event alongside Affleck’s former spouse, Jennifer Garner, on May 19th.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reunited after a short break to attend a family gathering on Thursday, despite ongoing rumors about their marriage troubles.
The couple, who have been absent from the public eye for two weeks, were on their way to celebrate Affleck’s daughter Violet’s graduation. They arrived at the party with Affleck’s mother, Christopher Anne ‘Chris’ Boldt, appearing distant and subdued amid speculation about their marriage. Lopez, sporting oversized sunglasses, walked silently next to Affleck, carrying a gift basket filled with pink tissue paper for Violet. Both made sure to hide their left hands, particularly after Affleck was spotted without his wedding ring. However, over the weekend, Affleck was seen wearing his wedding ring during a solo outing. Lopez, in a floral tea dress and clear nylon heels, kept her hands in her pockets as they made their way to the party. Affleck looked sharp in a dark gray blazer and matching trousers, complementing his wife’s stylish ensemble.

As they arrived at the event with Ben Affleck’s mother, Christopher Anne ‘Chris’ Boldt, Jennifer Lopez and Affleck seemed more somber than joyful, sparking speculation about the state of their marriage. Lopez, the singer behind hits like Let’s Get Loud, tried to shield her eyes behind oversized sunglasses and appeared to avoid making eye contact while walking alongside Affleck. The couple, who are reportedly facing challenges, were joined by Affleck’s mother, who was dressed in a stylish animal print blazer paired with all black attire. Later, they were seen leaving their daughter Violet’s graduation party with Affleck’s mother in tow. During their departure, Affleck gallantly opened the car door for his mother, while Lopez patiently waited for him to unlock her door amidst the busy traffic. The trio then drove off in Affleck’s BMW to their temporary rental in Brentwood. Shortly after, Lopez left the residence alone in her Escalade, indicating that she had other commitments and chose not to spend more time with Affleck and his mother. Their reunion on Thursday marked their first meeting in almost two weeks, following a joint movie event with Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and their children a couple of weeks earlier. The couple had been distant during the recent recital of his child Fin at school. This latest sighting comes after a seven-week gap, as they had not been seen together since late March in New York City.
The Daredevil star was spotted carrying a large wicker basket filled with gifts for Violet, wrapped in pink tissue paper. They made a point to hide their left hand and ring finger, especially since Affleck was recently seen without his wedding band several times in the past month.

Lately, they have not been seen together or seen in public much, leading to rumors of a potential breakup. At the Met Gala in New York, Lopez attended solo, surprising fans with Affleck’s absence. Speculation has emerged that the couple’s relationship was not working out, possibly leading to a split after less than two years of marriage. Gossip has also circulated that the couple has been living apart for some time. Despite buying a $60.85 million mansion together just a year ago, Affleck has moved out, while Lopez was seen house hunting alone in Beverly Hills recently.
