Ben Affleck donned his wedding ring as he left Jennifer Lopez‘s office in Los Angeles on Friday after spending time with the singer amid the pair’s rumored marital issues.
The Oscar winner, 51 – who recently shared an awkward air kiss with the Atlas actress as they reunited at his son’s basketball game – was seen exiting a parking garage while driving a sleek, matte gray BMW to head to his next destination.
The star opted for casual comfort in a plaid button up as well as a white shirt underneath during the daytime outing.
Affleck held his smartphone in his hand while pulling out onto a busy street and flashed a silver band on his ring finger.
Earlier in the day, Lopez, 54, was spotted arriving to her office and while stepping out of a sleek SUV, she could be seen also wearing her wedding ring.

Ben and Jennifer – who tied the knot in July 2022 – have been embroiled in rumored marital woes, with the pair reportedly ‘living separately’ and the singer cancelling her This Is Me…Live tour earlier this month.
On Thursday, the beauty was spotted being driven around Los Angeles, shortly after sharing a message about ‘negativity.’
In her OntheJLo newsletter that was posted on Wednesday, she had penned, ‘It may seem like there’s a lot of negativity out in the world right now.’
‘But don’t let the voices of a few drown out that there is soooo much love out there,’ she added, while also giving a shout out to her fans. ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you all so much.’
Over the past weekend on Sunday, Jennifer and Ben reunited to cheer on his son, Samuel, 12 – whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner – at his basketball game.
The two stars were seen meeting up outside of the venue and shared an awkward air kiss, followed by Affleck gently patting Lopez on the back.
Garner was also in attendance to support her son, with Ben’s mother Chris also stopping by for the festivities.
After attending the match, Ben and Jennifer later grabbed a quick bite to eat together at a nearby Jack in the Box.

Chris exited the YMCA with the 13 Going On 30 star, and was spotted being assisted into Garner’s car by the actress herself.
Lopez and Affleck had arrived separately to the game, with the singer spending time with her 15-year-old child Emme at a farmer’s market in L.A. earlier in the day.
Also this month, previously absent photographs of their $60M marital home’s lavish interior have popped up on realtor websites after being removed following the property’s sale to the couple last May.
DailyMail.com determined that these new photos were uploaded to real estate site Zillow.com on June 1 and June 5. The house is still listed as sold.
The couple bought the home and paid for it with cash after a two-year-search for their dream home in what was supposedly a fairytale ending to their decade’s long love story.
Around fifty images – including an exterior shot of the palatial property lit up and glowing against the Los Angeles sky – are visible across multiple real estate sites where once there were none.
However, a representative for Lopez pointed out that the images themselves are not new.
Earlier last week, Lopez notably cancelled her This Is Me…Live tour in order to spend time with family.
A statement to DailyMail.com read, ‘Representatives for Live Nation announced today that the Jennifer Lopez US Summer 2024 Tour THIS IS ME…LIVE is canceled.’

‘Jennifer is taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends. For those who purchased through Ticketmaster, tickets will automatically be refunded – there is nothing further fans need to do.’
‘For those who purchased via third-party resale sites such as SeatGeek, StubHub, VividSeats, etc. – please reach out to your point of purchase for more details.’
And on the star’s OntheJLo website, Lopez personally addressed the tour cancelation and expressed that she was ‘heartsick’ but added that, ‘I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary.’
A source told DailyMail.com that the decision to drop the tour was ‘difficult’ for the singer, adding that the choice to not go through with the concerts had nothing to do with poor ticket sales.
‘She’s taking time off to be with family and close friends. This was a very difficult decision made by Jennifer this week and she’s sorry to her fans.’
A separate source recently told Entertainment Tonight that both Ben and Jennifer ‘want to fix things’ in regards to their rocky marriage.
‘Jen has been feeling pressure with all her work commitments and Ben is more chill and doesn’t care about Hollywood and the stuff that comes along with it. He feels like ups and downs are part of life and everyone has these moments.’
The insider added, ‘They went back into their relationship hoping that any past issues wouldn’t repeat themselves, but unfortunately, some of them are.’

The source also explained that, ‘Ben has been trying to do his best when it comes to his career, co-parenting, and being a good partner, but feels overwhelmed.’
‘Ben and Jen don’t want to get divorced and are saying they won’t, but their relationship is simply not working at this point.’
However, the insider told ET, ‘They aren’t done yet and want to fix things because they love each other, but they are also both unhappy.’
A close friend of Jennifer recently told DailyMail.com that the singer has been ‘somber’ over the rumored marital turmoil as well as cancelling her tour.
‘She has been taking the blame for the end of the tour and the marriage, and the mockery of the world. It is all the opposite of the truth,’ the source said.
‘Her Achilles heel has always been men. She is the most disciplined, the most hard-working, wonderful person and she really gets her own way in everything at all times – except for where it comes to romance.’

‘I think you can already see her toning down the way she looks and obviously quitting this tour as well, to try to hang on to the marriage,’ the insider continued
‘She wants this marriage to work so much that she is willing to make any sacrifice including giving up being J-Lo.’
The pal added, ‘She doesn’t want to be divorced. She doesn’t want to end up like Madonna – on her own at 60. She can’t bear the idea of failure.’
‘I think you can already see her toning down the way she looks and obviously quitting this tour as well, to try to hang on to the marriage,’ the insider continued.
‘She lets him smoke, which is huge – she hates smoking and to be around that as a singer is a straight no, but he never gave up when they were dating and married.’
‘She won’t give up this relationship. She’s going out there looking as normal as she can. It’s sad to see her dimming her shine to try to keep him.’
Ben’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, also recently shared a hopeful poem about not having ‘the blues forever’ amid Affleck and Lopez’s split rumors
