Ben Affleck seen wearing wedding ring while filming, sparking speculation after divorce from Jennifer Lopez

Actor Ben Affleck recently caught the public’s attention after being spotted wearing a wedding ring on the set of his new movie, despite his recent divorce from pop star and actress Jennifer Lopez. The sight of the ring quickly stirred online conversations, with fans curious about its meaning and whether it suggested anything about Affleck’s personal life.
As shared by Yahoo News, the 51-year-old actor was photographed in Los Angeles while working on Animals, a new thriller being made for Netflix. In the pictures, Affleck appeared relaxed, dressed in a bluish-gray suit while holding a coffee cup and taking a cigarette break. However, what really stood out was the ring on his left hand, which looked like a wedding band.
It hasn’t been confirmed whether the ring was his personal accessory or just a part of his character’s costume for the movie. The film Animals reportedly centers around a married couple caught up in a kidnapping situation, making it quite possible that the ring is just a prop for his role.
The buzz comes not long after Affleck finalized his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. The couple had rekindled their early 2000s romance and got married in 2022, but their relationship ended in early 2024 when Lopez filed for divorce. The separation was finalized quietly a few months later, ending their marriage after two years.

In a recent interview with GQ, Affleck spoke about the split, describing it as a personal and calm decision rather than a dramatic event. He explained that there was no big scandal or moment that led to the breakup. Instead, it was the result of two people simply growing apart. He said that as people get older, relationships often change, and sometimes they don’t work out—not because of one specific issue, but due to life naturally shifting.
Affleck’s comments gave fans a glimpse into his emotional maturity and how he’s handling the end of his relationship. He seemed to emphasize that their breakup was peaceful and respectful.
Now that he's back to work and filming again, fans are left wondering if the wedding ring means anything more—or if it’s just part of his new movie role. Either way, the images have sparked fresh interest in his life following his highly publicized marriage and quiet divorce.
