00:00 Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez step out with their respective wedding rings amid rumors
00:04 they have broken up.
00:06 The Oscar winner and singer were seen out and about separately May 16th, and both Jen
00:11 and J.Lo appear to be wearing their husband and wife accessories in public.
00:15 Ben is spotted on a solo morning drive in Los Angeles, and the 51-year-old has his left
00:20 hand hanging out of the window, giving a clear view of his ring finger, which shows a band
00:25 there catching the light.
00:26 As for Jennifer, the 54-year-old is sporting her ring as she arrives at an LA dance studio
00:31 in dark blue sweatpants and a cropped blue sweater top.
00:35 The pair haven't been publicly seen together since March 30th, during an outing in New
00:39 York.
00:40 Jennifer further raised eyebrows when she liked a March 19th Instagram post about healthy
00:44 relationships, which read in part, "You can't build a relationship with someone who is disconnected
00:50 from themselves."
00:51 E! News has reached out to their reps for comment on the rumors, but hasn't heard back.
00:56 Earlier this month, J.Lo went solo at the 2024 Met Gala in New York City, where she
01:00 donned a glittery, Schiaparelli haute couture gown.
01:03 Jennifer served as one of the co-chairs of the annual gala, while Ben's rep confirmed
01:07 to E! News that he missed the event due to filming The Accountant 2 in LA.
01:12 The couple has had some ups and downs over the years, breaking up in 2003 before reconnecting
01:17 20 years later.
01:18 As for what led to their breakup in the early days, Ben recently explained that the constant
01:23 scrutiny put a strain on their relationship.
01:25 Yet he's learned to adjust for this new chapter in their love story.
01:29 He said in Jennifer's 2024 documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, "Getting back
01:34 together I said, 'Listen, one of the things I don't want is a relationship on social media.'
01:39 And then I sort of realized it's not a fair thing to ask.
01:42 It's sort of like, you're gonna marry a boat captain and you go, 'Well, I don't like the
01:46 water.'
01:47 We're just two people with kind of different approaches trying to learn to compromise."
01:51 Ben and Jen announced they had gotten engaged for a second time in April of 2022, via Jennifer's
01:56 On The J-Lo newsletter.
01:58 In a video clip sent to fans, a teary-eyed Jennifer could be seen smiling as she proudly
02:02 showed off the gorgeous green engagement ring on her finger.
02:06 "I'm engaged!
02:07 My love came in, Ben came in and he got down on one knee and he said some things that I'll
02:14 never forget.
02:15 And then he pulled out a ring and he said, 'Will you marry me?'"
02:24 And Bennifer will soon be marking their second wedding anniversary after tying the knot in
02:28 Las Vegas in July that same year.
02:30 The Sin City wedding was later followed by a massive ceremony in Georgia in August.
