Lopez and Affleck's last sighting was at another family event—the school play of Fin, his other child with Garner—earlier this month. They were spotted wearing their wedding rings at the affair.
The international stars are currently being hounded by divorce rumors. A report from TMZ claimed that Affleck has been staying at a separate house in Los Angeles for weeks now.
The rumors were further fueled following Lopez's lone appearance at the Met Gala, where she served as co-host.
Eagle-eyed social media users also noticed that Lopez recently liked an Instagram post from a relationship coach who, in text images, said that one cannot build a healthy relationship with someone who lacks integrity and emotional safety, doesn't respect your time, lacks effective communication skills, and doesn't know who they are or what they want.
"You can’t build a relationship with someone who is disconnected from themselves. We can’t expect someone to see us when we can’t even see themselves," the post's caption read. "Getting in a relationship is the easy part. Nurturing & fostering it is a different story. After all, love is not a feeling, it’s action," it read.
This isn't the first time that Affleck and Lopez, known to fans as "Bennifer," experienced problems with their relationship. The two started their romance in 2002 before calling off their engagement two years later and starting their own families with other partners.
It wasn't until 2021 that they reignited their romance and married twice: an intimate ceremony in Las Vegas and a formal affair in Georgia in 2022.
