Ben Affleck is stepping out without his wedding ring.

On Sunday, June 23, the two-time Oscar winner grabbed lunch at the Tasty Noodle House in Los Angeles with daughter Violet, 18, as wife Jennifer Lopez has been vacationing overseas.

Affleck — who wed Lopez in Las Vegas in July 2022 — was photographed not wearing his wedding band, as seen in photos published by The Daily Mail. The actor and filmmaker, 51, was dressed casually in blue jeans and sneakers, with a white T-shirt under a flannel button-up shirt.

Lopez, meanwhile, has been soaking up the sun during her time in Italy with friends as of late. On Friday, June 21, the Atlas actress was spotted living it up on a yacht. She was also photographed on a boat earlier that week, on Tuesday, June 18.

The two have been living separately, with the singer residing in the couple’s Beverly Hills marital home while Affleck stays in a rental a few miles away, amid the strain in their marriage.

Live Nation announced on May 31 that the actress and singer had canceled her planned concert tour because she is “taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.”

The tour was originally scheduled to run from June to August, in support of her latest studio album This Is Me … Now, which was released in February.

Affleck — who shares Violet plus younger children Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner — just wrapped filming his upcoming movie The Accountant 2 in Los Angeles.

Lopez is mom to two children, 16-year-old twins Emme and Max, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, whom she was married to from 2004 to 2014.

Despite their marital strain, Affleck and Lopez have come together on multiple recent occasions, celebrating Samuel at his graduation ceremony and Violet at hers, as well as at a graduation party for Samuel alongside Garner, 52,

Lopez and Affleck were both pictured wearing their wedding rings at the latter event, which was held at the Argo star’s rental home in Brentwood, California.

In honor of the Father’s Day holiday earlier this month, Lopez posted a sweet message for Affleck on her Instagram Stories.

“Our hero. Happy Father’s Day,” the Selena actress wrote in moving type over a black-and-white photo of her husband, including a white heart emoji.
