In a surprising turn of events, Ben Affleck was seen with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner just hours before his current partner, Jennifer Lopez, filed for divorce. The former couple arrived in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning after spending the weekend in Connecticut to drop off their daughter Violet at Yale University.

According to photos published by the Daily Mail, Affleck, 52, did not wear his wedding ring as he disembarked the plane with Garner, 52, and their middle child, Seraphina, 15. Meanwhile, news broke that Lopez, 55, had filed paperwork to end her marriage to Affleck on the same day, coincidentally marking the two-year anniversary of their second wedding ceremony.

Sources close to the couple revealed to TMZ that Affleck and Lopez did not have a prenuptial agreement, meaning that all their earnings, profits, and assets accumulated during their two-year marriage would be considered common property. People reported that Affleck showed no interest in reconciling with Lopez after the divorce filing. A source added that Lopez was disappointed and heartbroken, having tried her best to salvage their relationship. The well-being of their children remains a priority for both parties.

Affleck and Garner, who were married from 2005 to 2015, share three children together – Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. On the other hand, Lopez, who was previously married to singer Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2011, has twins Emme and Max. The rumors about Affleck and Lopez's impending divorce have persisted throughout the summer, with Affleck spending time with Garner during this period.

An insider revealed to the Daily Mail in July that Garner had reached a point where she no longer wished to play the role of a marriage counselor for Affleck and Lopez. The source mentioned that Garner found it painful as it reminded her of their own divorce. It was also stated that Garner was surprised by the public nature of Affleck's reconciliation with Lopez, as he had always preferred to be out of the spotlight during their marriage.

In May, Garner was reportedly supportive of Affleck working on his marriage with Lopez, wanting nothing more than his happiness. The unexpected rekindling of the relationship between Affleck and Lopez, who were initially together in the early 2000s, led to their surprise wedding at a Las Vegas chapel in July 2022. They later had a more extravagant ceremony at Affleck's Georgia home on August 20, 2022.

While the specific reasons for Lopez filing for divorce are yet to be confirmed, it appears that the couple's struggles and differences ultimately led to this decision. As the news of their divorce spreads, fans and followers of both Affleck and Lopez await further updates on the situation, hoping for an amicable resolution.

The story continues to unfold, leaving many wondering about the future of both relationships and the impact it will have on everyone involved.
