Jennifer Lopez appeared subdued as she spent July 4th in the Hamptons without husband Ben Affleck, despite still wearing her wedding ring, amid ongoing reports of their months-long separation.
The 54-year-old actress, whose 51-year-old actor spouse was recently seen wearing his wedding ring, displayed her own rings while shopping for plants with manager Benny Medina.
She looked stylish in a striped blouse paired with high-waisted tan trousers and flip-flops as she celebrated July 4th on the East Coast, while Affleck was spotted in Los Angeles enjoying lunch with their children Violet, 18, and Fin, 15.
Lopez wore her brunette locks in an updo with a straw hat and accessorized with gold hoop earrings.
Earlier in the week, Lopez arrived in New York City following a report claiming her marriage to Affleck has been over since March. She later shared an Instagram album showcasing her rustic holiday attire, strolling among flowerbeds and posing with a megawatt smile.
Despite their separation and speculation about divorce, insiders noted Affleck remаins protective of Lopez. Reports surfaced that the couple is selling artwork from their $60 million Bel-Air mansion, which was listed for $65 million last month.
They haven’t been seen together publicly since June 2, when they awkwardly greeted each other at their son Samuel’s basketball game in Los Angeles. Recent reports indicated Affleck retrieved his belongings from their home while Lopez vacationed in Italy.
While Affleck resides in a Brentwood rental, Lopez stays in their Bel-Air mansion. Affleck continues to focus on work and spending time with their children, while Lopez enjoys summer abroad, planning to resume her tour in 2025.
Sources close to Lopez indicated she’s resigned to the idea of ending her marriage with Affleck, citing his persistent negativity as a major factor. Despite this, she remains optimistic about her future plans, including resuming her tour and reconnecting with her fans in 2025.
