Ben Affleck Not Wearing Wedding Ring While Out With Daughter Violet

Despite a previously concentrated effort to conceal the presence of his wedding ring, Ben Affleck is making it clear that he is no longer wearing his band—at least, for certain stretches of time.

The actor was spotted going to dinner on June 22 with his 18-year-old daughter, Violet — for the night out, he wore a plain white T-shirt with a flannel top, paired with blue jeans and Vans sneakers. In photos obtained by Entertainment Tonight, Affleck's left ring finger had no wedding band present. Affleck's wedding ring returned the following day on June 23 as he headed to his office.

Affleck's on again, off again wedding ring comes amid marriage troubles with Jennifer Lopez. During an appearance on Kevin Hart's Hart to Heart podcast, he opened up about his relationship with the pop star, telling the comedian that having to adjust himself and his family to a new level of fame proved to be a challenge.

"She’s so famous, and she creates this—people love her," he explained. "And she really represents something important to people."

After detailing a rough night where Lopez and his three children—Violet, Fin and Samuel—were mobbed while trying to get to a play, Affleck added, “I don't mind you taking my picture about a club, a premiere, whatever. My wife, I don't give a fuck. Go ahead. Knock yourself out. I don't notice you. My children, that's a different thing.”

Lopez is currently vacationing in Italy with friends, and was recently spotted taking selfies on a boat looking unbothered. People previously reported that Lopez is planning to make traveling a priority over the summer now that her This Is Me... Live tour was cancelled. In 2023, Lopez told Travel & Leisure that she’s "not a big vacation person,” but explained that she has a soft spot for Southern Italy, adding she “really, really loved it.”
