In a heartfelt display of parental support, actor Ben Affleck was seen attending his daughter Violet's high school graduation party without his rumored estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez. The "Argo" star arrived solo at the festivities held in Los Angeles over the Memorial Day weekend, as reported by Page Six.
Affleck, 51, donned a somber attire for the occasion, wearing a beige blazer over a white button-down, along with blue jeans and boots. The actor's eldest daughter, Violet, recently received her diploma, an achievement celebrated by her mother, Jennifer Garner, on social media.
Jennifer Garner, known for her role in "13 Going on 30," shared emotional photos of herself in tears during the graduation ceremony, hinting at the pride and joy she felt for her daughter. The couple, who divorced in 2018 after 13 years of marriage, also share two other children, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
While Affleck and Lopez had rekindled their romance and tied the knot in Las Vegas in 2021, recent rumors about their relationship hitting rough patches have been circulating. Lopez's absence from Violet's graduation party added fuel to the speculation that the couple is living separately and potentially heading towards divorce.
According to Page Six's insider, there is a growing belief that Affleck is ready to end the marriage after concluding that their relationship cannot be reconciled. The source stated, "If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would," further adding that Affleck feels like the past two years have been a fleeting dream.
The cracks in their relationship became apparent when Affleck did not accompany Lopez to the Met Gala earlier this month. Additionally, he was recently spotted without his wedding ring and skipped Lopez's movie premiere for "Atlas."
In a bid to control the narrative surrounding her personal life, Lopez reportedly banned questions about her marriage during the premiere of her Netflix film. Although she declined to address the drama with Affleck, her actions have left fans wondering about the state of their relationship.
Affleck and Lopez's love story began in the early 2000s before their split, only to be reignited in 2021. While the couple appeared to be in a blissful state, recent events suggest their relationship may be facing significant challenges.
As fans await official statements from Affleck and Lopez regarding the status of their marriage, the spotlight remains on their respective endeavors and the well-being of their blended family, which includes Lopez's 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony.
Regardless of the outcome of their relationship, one thing remains certain – the love and support of their children will always be a priority for both Affleck and Lopez.
