The rumours about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s marital problems have not been dispelled by the actor’s latest appearance without his wedding ring. Once considered a case of second chance romances, their renewed romance now faces additional difficulties such as living apart and under public attention. The duo is also coping with the residual effects of their previous partnerships.

On May 18, TMZ released a picture of Ben Affleck inside a car, noticeably devoid of his wedding ring on his left finger as he fiddled with the sun visor, sparking rumours. Rumours that Affleck and Jennifer “JLo” Lopez, his wife of over two years, would be divorcing quickly followed this sighting.
