Amid divorce rumors involving wife Jennifer Lopez, fans have accused Ben Affleck of hiding his ring finger in his sweatshirt when photographed on the streets of Los Angeles.
Ben, who is married to Jennifer, was walking around LA on Wednesday when photographers snapped pictures of him. However, in the photos, it appears as though Ben was deliberately hiding his ring finger in his sweatshirt. Many fans believe this is likely an attempt to throw off skeptics who are fueling these divorce rumors.
Many people responded to the photos, joking about how happy Ben looked.
“LMAOOOOO! That’s the first time I’ve seen him smile. 😂” one person wrote on X.
Ben Affleck Hides Ring Finger In Photos Amid Jennifer Lopez Divorce Rumors
Ben has remained silent when it comes to rumors regarding a potential split between him and Jennifer.
Allegedly, Jennifer has also been denying the rumors. When asked — point blank — whether there was any truth to the divorce speculations, Jennifer responded, “You know better than that.”
Her co-star in the film Atlas, Simu Liu, was accompanying her on stage when the press questioned her relationship with Ben. Simu immediately jumped in to defend Jennifer.
“OK we’re not doing that. Thank you guys so much, we really appreciate it,” he said quickly, trying to silence the press on the matter. “Don’t come in here with that energy, please.”
“She looks so hurt when asked that question,” one person pointed out in the comments. “They should just leave her alone.”
Despite the rampant rumors about Ben and Jennifer’s alleged split, earlier this week, Ben was spotted wearing his wedding ring when exiting a restaurant in Santa Monica.
However, In Touch reported that Ben had actually moved out of their shared home and were “headed for divorce.”
“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” a source told the outlet. “Ben already moved out and they’ll likely have to sell the dream house they spent two years searching for. They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted.”
