Ben Affleck spends quality time with his children while Jennifer Lopez vacations in Italy without him amidst swirling rumors of an impending divorce for the couple.
On Wednesday, the 51-year-old Academy Award winner was seen riding around Los Angeles with his 12-year-old son Samuel on the back of his electric motorcycle. Samuel held on tightly as they zoomed through their Brentwood neighborhood.
Both father and son wore helmets during their afternoon ride, which occurred shortly after Samuel’s elementary school graduation.
Affleck opted for a casual look with a navy blue button-up over a maroon T-shirt, paired with denim jeans and Nike sneakers. The ‘Argo’ star shares Samuel, along with children Fin, 15, and Violet, 18, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52.
Garner, who married Affleck in 2005 and separated in 2015 ahead of their 10th anniversary, finalized their divorce in October 2018.
Garner has seemingly been a pillar of support for Affleck as speculation mounts over the future of his marriage to Lopez. Meanwhile, photos obtained by DailyMail.com on Wednesday showed Lopez enjoying a solo vacation in Italy with friends.
The 54-year-old singer showcased her toned abs and legs in a pastel yellow crop-top and matching shorts during a yacht break in Sorrento. She wore her hair sleek and straight, accessorized with chic shades and minimal makeup, exuding a carefree spirit thousands of miles away from Affleck.
Rumors of a potential divorce between Affleck and Lopez have been circulating for weeks. Sources revealed to Us Weekly that discussions about divorce have been ongoing, with Lopez reportedly focusing on her future amid the strain on their relationship.
Despite efforts to sell their $65 million Bel-Air mansion off-market, the property rеmains on the market after three weeks. Sources close to Lopez indicated that both she and Affleck had different reasons for wanting to part with the expansive home, which neither felt suited their needs.
Affleck has been leaning on longtime friend Matt Damon for support during this challenging period, while Lopez has been actively searching for a new residence, as reported by TMZ.
As Lopez navigates this difficult time, she continues to draw strength from close friends like stylist Shawn Barton and vocal coach Stevie Mackey, focusing on her children and upcoming professional plans.
