AceShowbiz - Jennifer Lopez was spotted in New York on Friday, July 5 wearing a charm bracelet featuring Ben Affleck's initial, "B." The actress and singer was photographed shopping in Bridgehampton with her manager, Benny Medina, and friends, wearing a white linen outfit and wide-brimmed hat.
The notable charm bracelet was just one of several accessories she sported, along with a silver necklace, hoop earrings, a chunky gold bracelet, sunglasses, and a handbag.
This symbolic gesture of support for Affleck, 51, follows Lopez's earlier message of loyalty when she was seen wearing a crop top tee that read, "JLO BE MY MAMA." On Thursday, she was also spotted wearing her wedding ring again after briefly removing it to promote her J.Lo Beauty line.
Affleck, for his part, has also been photographed with his wedding band sometimes on and other times off, fueling the divorce rumors. The couple has been spending significant time apart lately, with Lopez staying in New York and Affleck in Los Angeles.
Neither Lopez nor Affleck has addressed the split speculation directly, but they have continued to fan the flames by celebrating the Fourth of July holiday at different locations. Lopez recently enjoyed a trip to Italy with friends while Affleck spent time with his children in Los Angeles.
Their marriage has been under scrutiny since Lopez walked the Met Gala carpet solo in May. Despite multiple sources claiming their marriage has been on the rocks since March, Affleck remains "very protective" of Lopez.
The couple eloped in July 2022, 20 years after their initial engagement. They held a formal ceremony in Georgia the following month and are currently attempting to sell their marital home, which they purchased for $60 million in 2023.
While neither Lopez nor Affleck has filed for divorce, Lopez's mother has reportedly urged her daughter to end the marriage to "avoid getting any deeper in this mess." Lopez's sisters also reportedly believe Affleck "does not deserve her." It remains to be seen whether these rumors will be confirmed or if the couple can reconcile.
