How Ben Affleck has Jennifer Lopez saved in his phone amid split speculation
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are still going strong despite split speculation — according to his cellphone, at least.
The actor received a call from “Jennifer Affleck” while behind the wheel on Sunday in a new picture obtained by Page Six.
X users joked that the singer’s contact photo, which featured a smoldering Lopez staring straight at the camera, resembled an AI image.
The actress, notably, was sitting beside Affleck in the passenger seat at the time of the call.
She and the “Gone Girl” star, 51, were leaving a school event in Santa Monica, Calif., after arriving separately, with TMZ reporting that they went on to enjoy a meal at BOA Steakhouse in West Hollywood.
The actor wore a gray tee, jeans and sneakers, while his wife paired a tan turtleneck with brown slacks and a matching coat.
Their outing came three days after they attended Affleck’s 15-year-old child Seraphina’s school play, which marked the couple’s first time being photographed together in more than one month.
On Friday, however, Affleck was spotted without his wedding band.
The Oscar winner has been house-hunting in Los Angeles while staying in a Brentwood, Calif., home for “the past week or so,” sources told Page Six on Friday.
While the pair have yet to comment on breakup rumors, Affleck spoke about “trying to learn to compromise” with his partner’s “different approach” to the press in her February documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Ever Told.”
He reflected on their previous engagement from 2002 to 2004, saying, “When Jen and I broke up before, the catalyst for that was the amount of scrutiny around our private life.”

Lopez and Affleck reconnected in 2021, getting married in Las Vegas in July of the following year.
Joy Behar advised Lopez to “keep [her] mouth shut” about their romance on “The View” Friday, saying, “When you go around shouting your love from the rooftops, it gets tricky when things don’t go well.”
Co-host Ana Navarro compared the Grammy winner to Elizabeth Taylor, who tied the knot eight times.
Lopez was previously married to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd and Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 16-year-old twins Emme and Max.
As for Affleck, he and Jennifer Garner separated in 2015 after 10 years of marriage and three children — Violet, 18, Seraphina and Samuel, 12.
