Ben Affleck ditches wedding ring during lunch with daughter Violet as Jennifer Lopez vacations in Italy
Ben Affleck’s wedding ring is “Gone, Girl.”
The actor was spotted without the band while getting lunch with his daughter Violet in Los Angeles on Saturday.
The Oscar winner wore a white tee under a flannel for the Tasty Noodle House outing, completing his look with jeans and his signature Nikes.
The 18-year-old, for her part, sported a black dress over a white top with flowing sleeves.
Affleck co-parents Violet and her siblings — Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 — with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
The “Tender Bar” star, 51, became the stepdad to 16-year-old twins Emme and Max when he married Jennifer Lopez in Las Vegas in 2022.
The couple have been facing rampant divorce speculation since May, with a source telling Page Six that Affleck has “come to his senses” about their “fever dream” marriage.
The duo have yet to comment — besides Lopez, 54, shutting down a bold reporter who asked about their relationship status during the actress’ “Atlas” press tour.
Although the pair have put on a united front, from jointly attending Samuel’s basketball game to Lopez making a brief appearance at Violet’s graduation party, they are reportedly selling their $60 million home.
Neither Affleck nor Lopez was present at the Beverly Hills, Calif., property over the weekend, as the Golden Globe winner has been living in a nearby rental.
As for the “Let’s Get Loud” singer, she is vacationing in Italy without her partner after announcing her tour cancellation in order to spend time with family.

The dancer was caught on camera taking sultry backside selfies while sunning herself on a boat in a white bathing suit Thursday.
Lopez is “taking some time and space to reflect on her marriage” while abroad, relationship expert Louella Alderson told the Mirror on Friday.
The Daily Mail reported earlier this month that the performer feels she can “do no more” to save her marriage after “really try[ing].”
While Lopez has kept her wedding ring on amid split rumors, Affleck was pictured without his multiple times in May — even once shielding his hand from the paparazzi.
The “Gigli” co-stars’ love story began in 2002, and the couple were engaged for two years before calling it quits in 2004.
They reconciled in 2021, with Affleck proposing again in April of the following year.
He and Lopez tied the knot twice in 2022, following up their Sin City wedding in July with an August ceremony in Georgia.
