Ben Affleck’s Ring Sparks Speculation Following Split from Jennifer Lopez

April 8, 2025: Ben Affleck recently stirred up headlines after being photographed in Los Angeles wearing his wedding ring—just months after finalizing his divorce from Jennifer Lopez in January 2025. The unexpected sighting had fans and media buzzing, questioning whether the ring symbolized reconciliation, nostalgia, or something else entirely.

It’s All for the Camera

Despite the rumors, sources confirm there’s a simple explanation: Affleck is currently filming a new Netflix movie titled Animals, in which he plays a married mayoral candidate. The ring, it turns out, is simply part of his character’s costume.

The filming began on March 7, and Affleck has been in high spirits on set. The actor was seen during a break, sipping coffee and smoking a cigarette—wedding band and all.
