It’s no secret that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage is on the rocks at the very least, and completely over at most. The evidence is piling up—they don’t live together, they’re selling their $60M Beverly Hills mansion that they bought just last year, Jennifer Lopez took a solo vacation to Europe, Ben Affleck stepped out without his wedding ring while she was away, and now Jennifer Lopez has posted with her left hand front and center, sans wedding ring. It’s like they’re not even trying to dispel the rumors! Keep reading for more information.

Jennifer Lopez Adds To The Rumor Mill With New Social Media Post
In a new promotional video for her beauty brand, JLoBeauty, she shows off the new Ultimate Body Kit + Complexion boost, holding up different products and applying them to her freshly tanned skin. However, despite wearing a stack of rings on her right ring finger, her left hand is notably bare, no wedding ring to be found.
Fans were quick to point this out in the comment section, writing, “I spy with my little eye no giant rock on the ring finger, courtesy of Mr. Affleck. Trouble in paradise??”
“I don’t know how anyone can deny that they’re headed straight for divorce,” another said. “She’s not even trying!”
Ben Affleck Steps Out Without His Wedding Ring While JLo Vacations Alone
Two weeks ago, Affleck stepped out to grab some dinner with his 18-year-old daughter Violet, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Photographed on his way to Tasty Noodle, he was wearing a black-and-white flannel over a white t-shirt and a pair of simple blue jeans. But what he wasn't wearing is what caught fans' eyes. The Oscar-winner was notably missing his wedding ring—perhaps he wasn't wearing it while his wife is oceans away?
While the filmmaker stayed back in Los Angeles, Jennifer Lopez took herself on a solo vacation in Europe. She's been spotted at fashion shows in Paris, out to dinner with friends, and enjoying a boat ride in Italy. While it looks like she's having a blast, again, one thing is notably missing—her husband.
"Jen loves vacationing in Europe during the summer," an insider told People. "That's never really been Ben's scene, even when him and Jen weren't having any issues. Jen isn't letting the fact that Ben's not there bring her down." What do they have in common?
Jen & Ben Are Headed For Divorce
Of course, not vacationing together, not living together, and selling their shared home after just one year of marriage doesn't ensure divorce, but coupled with reports close to the couple of "strain" in their marriage, it seems almost certain. "Ben and Jen don't want to get divorced," one source said. "They are saying they won't, but their relationship is simply not working at this point. They aren't done yet and want to fix things because they love each other, but they are also both unhappy."
Another source told People in May that their marriage "is not in the best place at the moment," and neither of them appear to be doing anything to curb the rumors, especially now that both of them have publicly showed off wedding ring-less fingers. We've never heard of a couple who picks and chooses when to wear their wedding rings!
