Ben Affleck was photographed without his wedding ring on the set of “The Accountant 2” Thursday amid rumors he and wife Jennifer Lopez are heading for a divorce.

The photos, obtained by Page Six, show him stepping into a trailer in jeans and a black jacket — and no wedding band.

The actor was also spotted on the set of his latest film, which is a sequel to the 2016 thriller, on Monday — the same day Lopez attended the Los Angeles premiere of “Atlas” without him by her side.

Earlier on Thursday, Affleck, 51, appeared to purposefully hide his ring finger by covering his arm with a sweater when paparazzi spotted him in Los Angeles picking up his 12-year-old son, Samuel, from school.

Samuel also toyed with the photographers when he hunched down with a professional camera to mimic them. Affleck could be seen laughing by his son’s side.

He was previously photographed without his wedding ring last weekend when he arrived at a recital for one of his kids.

Affleck and Lopez, 54, first sparked separation speculation when she walked the carpet of the 2024 Met Gala solo.

Last week, she fueled divorce rumors when she “liked” an Instagram post about toxic relationships. Page Six then learned that Affleck is thought to be house hunting around the Los Angeles area and was reported to have stayed in a Brentwood, Calif. home away from Lopez.  

Furthermore, a person close to the “Deep Water” actor told Page Six Monday that he’s “come to his senses” regarding his union with the “This is Me .. Now” star.

“If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would,” our source divulged.

“He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.”

Affleck and Lopez are fully aware of the divorce chatter and the latter had to dodge relationship questions as she promoted “Atlas” this week. The singer has been seen wearing her wedding ring throughout her press stops.

Although she refuses to address the speculation head-on, Lopez admitted this week that she feels “very misunderstood” like her “Atlas” character.

She and the “Hypnotic” star walked down the aisle in July 2022 at his Georgian estate.

They tied the not 20 years after they were originally engaged.
