Jennifer Lopez wears charm bracelet with Ben Affleck’s initial on it as couple spends time apart amid divorce rumors
Jennifer Lopez was spotted in New York wearing a charm bracelet featuring Ben Affleck’s initial as she and the movie star continue to spend time apart amid rumored marital woes.
The “Hustlers” star, 54, went shopping in Bridgehampton with her manager, Benny Medina, and some friends on Friday, wearing a white linen shirt, matching pants, and a wide-brimmed hat.
In addition to the eye-catching charm bracelet that featured a noticeable “B,” she accessorized her look with a silver necklace, hoop earrings, a chunky gold bracelet, sunglasses and a handbag.
Lopez’s seemingly symbolic declaration of loyalty to Affleck, 51, comes after she sent a message with a crop top tee earlier this week that read, “JLO BE MY MAMA.”
On Thursday, she also opted to wear her wedding ring again after briefly taking it off to promote her J.Lo Beauty line.
Affleck, for his part, has also been photographed with his wedding band sometimes on and other times off as divorce rumors continue to swirl.
Neither the “Jenny From the Block” singer or “Armageddon” star have addressed the split claims, but they continued to fuel the rumor mill by spending the Fourth of July holiday at different locations.
Lopez also enjoyed a recent trip to Italy with some gal pals in June after she and Affleck didn’t interact at his son Samuel’s graduation earlier in the month.
The couple’s marriage has been under a microscope ever since the Grammy-nominated artist walked the Met Gala carpet solo in May.
Lopez has reportedly given up on saving their marriage, while an insider told Page Six that Affleck regrets making her his wife.
“If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would,” the source told us in May.
“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.”
A second insider told Page Six this week that their marriage has been over since March, but that the “Deep Water” star remains “very protective” over the “Let’s Get Loud” singer.
The pair eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022 — 20 years after they were first engaged to be married.
They held a formal ceremony to celebrate with friends and family at Affleck’s Georgia estate the following month.
They’re now attempting to offload their marital home, which they purchased for $60 million in 2023.
