According to the DailyMail, the couple was sitting together in the car when Affleck's phone showed that Lopez's contact was saved as "Jennifer Affleck." However, this raised questions from people as to why she was calling Affleck when they were together in the car.
Remarkably, Lopez and Affleck were also seen with their wedding rings on, days after he was spotted without it when he met up with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and daughter, Violet, for his son Samuel's school event.
Jennifer Garner Joined The Couple On Their Latest Outing
During their recent outing, Garner joined Lopez and Affleck. According to the DailyMail, Affleck and Lopez were seen arriving separately at the Aero Theater for the family reunion.
Although they didn't talk with each other outside the theater, Lopez was seen hugging Affleck and Garner's child, Fin, whose school recital she joined Affleck for last week.
Affleck wore a grey T-shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers for the event and was pictured with a cigarette in his mouth.
Lopez, donning a brown coat with a floral pattern worn over a beige turtleneck and brown slacks, was seen arriving with her child Emme, whom she shares alongside his twin, Max, with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony.
Garner was all cheers as she arrived at the event in a summer dress and a navy cardigan, in the company of her and Affleck's two other children, daughter Violet and son Samuel.
Jennifer Garner Visited Ben Affleck At His New Apartment Where He Has Been Staying Alone
The 51-year-old actor is seemingly doing a great job keeping his blended family in peace despite the reports of his ruptured marriage with Lopez.
Amid the split rumors, Garner was seen arriving on the driveway of his Brentwood apartment, where he has allegedly been staying since he moved out of his $60 million marital home, which he shares with Lopez.
The "Peppermint" actress was reportedly not with any of the three kids she shares with Affleck as she drove her shiny black BMW i7 sedan to his place, appearing to be in high spirits.
For the visit, she spotted a black hoodie and a pair of sunglasses, momentarily pausing at the entrance to the compound to input the passcodes to open the gates.
Ben Affleck Didn't Wear His Wedding Ring During His Outing With Jennifer Garner
Following his Sunday reunion with Lopez, Affleck raised eyebrows from fans as he was spotted not wearing his wedding ring when he was not with his wife.
The Oscar winner sent the rumor mill into overdrive a day before he was seen with Lopez, as he was spotted without his wedding ring.
According to the DailyMail, the situation came to light when he joined Garner and their daughter, Violet, to watch their son Samuel's basketball game in Santa Monica on Saturday.
Seen leaving the driveway of his Brentwood apartment in his sleek, dark grey BMW, Affleck rested his left arm on the rolled-down window, showing his hand, which was noticeably absent of his ring.
For the event, Garner donned a short-sleeved, gray shirt partially tucked into a pair of blue jeans and completed the look with blue sneakers and stylish shades. Violet was dressed in a dark pink jumpsuit and a cream-colored sweater, as she was pictured walking beside her mom.
Affleck 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.
Are Ben Affleck And Jennifer Lopez Putting On A 'United Front' For Their Kids?
According to Perez Hilton, the couple is focusing on their children to ensure they're not affected by their alleged marital strife. When Lopez attended Fin's school production, she made sure to bring a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers to celebrate their performance.
According to the news outlet, an 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 claimed.
"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."
