In a rare display of affection, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were seen holding hands as they departed his daughter Violet's graduation ceremony in Los Angeles on Thursday. The couple's public show of unity comes amidst ongoing rumors of a possible divorce.

Accompanied by JLo's twin children, Max and Emme, and Affleck's kids, Fin and Samuel, the couple left the celebration together. Jennifer was stylishly dressed in a salmon pink coat, matching dress, and perspex heels, while Ben opted for a smart blue suit. However, both seemed subdued and did not flash smiles during their outing.

Notably, Ben's mother, Christopher Anne Boldt, and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner's mother, Pat Garner, also joined the group, emphasizing the importance of family during this event. Following the graduation, Ben and Jennifer departed separately and returned to their respective residences with their children.

This follows their recent frosty reunion at another graduation celebration for Violet, where neither of them appeared to be in high spirits. However, they were both seen wearing their wedding rings, suggesting that the couple might be working through their differences.

In recent months, Affleck and Lopez have rarely been seen together, fueling speculation about their separation. They even attended events separately, such as the Met Gala, where Jennifer fulfilled her co-chair duties alone. Moreover, Affleck was spotted without his wedding ring on multiple occasions.

Earlier this month, it was reported that the couple had been living separately for weeks, with Affleck moving into a rented mansion in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles worth $100,000 per month. Interestingly, Jennifer was seen leaving the rented house in her Escalade with her assistant immediately after arriving, leaving Ben behind.

Despite the challenges they are facing, it is important to note that Ben and Jennifer tied the knot last year after a long history together. Their fans remain hopeful that they can overcome their current issues and find a way to make their marriage work.

This rare show of PDA at Violet's graduation ceremony may indicate a desire to maintain a united front amidst the divorce rumors surrounding the couple. Whether they are able to reconcile or not, the fans and the media will undoubtedly be closely watching their next moves.
