Ben Affleck is back to wearing his wedding ring one day after he was seen without it amid ongoing strain in his marriage with wife Jennifer Lopez.
The Academy Award winning actor, 51, was photographed still wearing the symbol of his marriage on Thursday, July 11. He was seen without it while arriving at his office in Los Angeles on Wednesday, July 10.

Despite the husband and wife being on separate coasts for Independence Day, the Air actor was seen with his wedding ring for lunch at Baltaire Restaurant in L.A. on July 5. The Atlas actress also had hers on as she shopped in Bridgehampton, New York with her manager, Benny Medina, that same day.
On July 9, a source told PEOPLE that Lopez “seemed happy and peaceful during her week in the Hamptons” without Affleck.
“She doesn’t appear upset at all,” the source added.

Days earlier, Lopez shared an eyebrow-raising post on social media.
On July 7, she uploaded a clip on Instagram from her 2021 video for “Cambia el Paso” — an empowerment song she co-wrote about changing one’s own circumstances.
In her caption, she noted that it was the anniversary of the single, which was initially released just a few months after her relationship with Alex Rodriguez ended.
Prior to Lopez’s and Affleck’s separate Fourth of July holidays, the “Can’t Get Enough” singer traveled to Europe without her husband for an Italian getaway. While she was on vacation, he moved his things out of the couple’s shared Beverly Hills mansion.

Another source recently told PEOPLE that Lopez and Affleck were “doing their own thing” this summer.
“Jennifer’s having a wonderful time in Europe,” the insider told PEOPLE in June, adding, “She loves Italy and visits every year.”
“She’s grateful for a break. The past few weeks have been emotional for her,” the source added. “Ben has been working in L.A. and is spending time with his kids.”

The source added, “Everyone seems to be doing okay.”
