Ben Affleck found himself attending a significant family affair alone this past Memorial Day weekend.
The acclaimed actor was present at his daughter Violet‘s graduation celebration on Monday, May 27, without his partner, Jennifer Lopez, raising eyebrows and further fueling the split rumors that have been circling the couple.
51-year-old Affleck, who is Violet’s father with his former spouse Jennifer Garner, was captured arriving solo at the festivities in Los Angeles. The Daily Mail shared photographs showing Affleck dressed in a white shirt paired with a beige blazer, blue jeans, and black boots—a relaxed yet smart ensemble.
This appearance comes amidst whispers of marital tensions between Affleck and Lopez, who were married as recently as July 2022.
Speculation began when Lopez, 54, attended the 2024 Met Gala alone. Affleck was reportedly occupied with work commitments in Los Angeles at the time, including shooting for The Accountant 2.
Observers note that the couple hasn’t been seen in public together since March, although they have both been spotted wearing their wedding rings separately. A week prior to the graduation event, Affleck was seen without his ring; however, it was back on for the graduation party. Lopez was seen with her ring on March 24, according to the Daily Mail.
The intrigue deepened when Lopez showed interest in an Instagram post from a relationship expert, prompting fans and media to wonder about the pair’s relationship status.
Despite the swirling rumors, neither Lopez nor Affleck has commented on their marriage’s condition.
