Jennifer Garner is seemingly offering a shoulder for her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, to lean on. Garner recently visited Affleck at the $100,000-a-month apartment he has been living in amid reports that his marriage to Jennifer Lopez has hit the rocks.

The actor fueled the divorce speculations after he was spotted on two occasions without his wedding ring, which had always been a constant sight in his barely two years of marriage to Lopez.

The "Peppermint" actress was seen visiting her ex-husband, who is reportedly experiencing marital strife with his wife, Lopez.

According to the DailyMail, Garner was photographed arriving in the driveway of Affleck's Brentwood apartment, where he has allegedly been staying since he moved out of his $60 million marital home, which he shares with Lopez.

Garner, who was noticeably without any of the kids she shares with the "Argo" actor, donned a black hoodie and a pair of sunglasses as she drove her shiny black BMW i7 sedan to his place, appearing to be in high spirits.

She momentarily paused at the compound's entrance and leaned out of her car to punch in the passcodes to gain entry.

The "13 Going on 30" actress was dressed in a short-sleeved gray shirt that was partially tucked into a pair of blue jeans. She completed the look with comfortable blue sneakers and stylish shades.

Affleck was seen pulling out of the driveway of his Brentwood apartment in a sleek, dark grey BMW and rested his left arm on the rolled-down window as he drove down the street, showing his hand, which was noticeably absent of his ring.

He was first seen without his wedding ring on Friday as he adjusted the sun visor of his car while visiting his child's school for a recital. Until then, Affleck and Lopez had been wearing their wedding bands despite the reports of their marital strife.

The embattled couple recently reunited for the first time in seven weeks after seemingly raising eyebrows with their persistent separate outings.

Affleck and Lopez had not been pictured together since they grabbed lunch at Cecconi restaurant in New York on Easter Sunday. However, on Thursday, the pair reunited in public when the "Let's Get Loud" singer joined her husband for his child, Fin's school production.

Lopez donned a beige button-down top tucked into light-wash flared jeans and stilettos for the outing, while Affleck wore a dark blue flannel, a grey graphic T-shirt, jeans, and Nike sneakers.

Things still don't look convincing between them, as an eyewitness told the news outlet that Affleck "did not look happy to see JLo as she arrived at a show for one of his kids."

"When he saw her get out of her car, they did not hug or kiss," the insider noted.

According to Perez Hilton, a source said the couple is prioritizing their children over their marriage troubles.

The insider noted that "nothing would have stopped them coming together for the kids" and that "the marriage drama comes second."

"They are putting on a united front. Jen showed up with Emme to support Fin. Emme's super attached to Fin, so it's only natural that Jen, no matter what she's going through with Ben, was there," the source noted.

"Jen looked super thin and was dressed casual-chic," the source shared. "She didn't glam up like the last time she came to a school function. She seemed more subdued than usual when she greeted Ben as he pulled the car up. Emme was super excited, though, jumping for joy over Fin's performance."

New reports surrounding their tumultuous union suggest that the twosome "did not celebrate Mother's Day together" as they continue to live their separate lives.

However, Lopez took to her Instagram account to share two posts, one of which paid tribute to her relationship with her kids and the other to her mom, Guadalupe "Lupe" RodrĂ­guez.

"Lulu and Max, I am here FOREVER to support you, encourage you, to remind you of your greatness your goodness, and your limitless capability. You. Can. Do. Anything," she wrote in a caption to one post. "You are brilliant and beautiful and worthy of love and all the beautiful things in life. If you ever learn one thing from me, let it be that."
