Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were spotted together for the first time since announcing their separation, and their reunion was notably tense. The couple, who revealed their plans to divorce last month exactly two years after their wedding, attempted to maintain stability for their children by spending the day together at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

During their ride to the upscale venue, they appeared emotionally distant. Jennifer Lopez, 55, was seen wiping her eyes, while Ben Affleck, 52, wore a stern expression behind the wheel. Despite their evident discomfort, they stayed close as they entered the hotel, with Jennifer, dressed in a black cropped roll-neck and flared jeans, managing the group from the back.

She accessorized with sunglasses and a large handbag but drew particular attention for still wearing her wedding ring—on her little finger. On her ring finger, she had a gold band engraved with her name.

The public outing followed Jennifer’s recent appearance in a “revenge dress” while promoting a film she made with Ben. The couple, often referred to as ‘Bennifer,’ had tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2022. In August, Jennifer filed for divorce pro per—meaning without legal representation—in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
