She accessorized her look with some chunky silver hoop earrings and sunglasses.
On the same day, Ben Affleck was seen wearing his wedding ring on a solo morning drive in Los Angeles, California. The actor had his left arm out the window while driving, giving a clear view of his ring.
The couple has not been seen together since March 30, 2024, when they were seen strolling the streets of New York City. In the past month, rumors of Jennifer and Ben’s separation have been brewing hot. The On the Floor singer‘s solo attendance at the Met Gala earlier this May further fueled such speculations.
In the YouTube video uploaded by E! News, some fans expressed their concerns about the couple. One comment read,
“Oh no I hope They don’t break up with Each they belong with each Other They make a great couple And I would hate to see them splitting up”.
