JLO steps out with ‘no wedding ring’
After parting ways with her green emerald diamond engagement ring from Ben Affleck, The Atlas star was spotted wearing a gold band on her left hand again, a subtle sign that her marriage may be over. While the couple hasn’t made an official statement, J.Lo recently filed for divorce without an attorney on their second wedding anniversary. On Friday, Lopez, 55, made her first public appearance ditching her wedding ring and replacing it with another, since formally ending her marriage to Affleck on August 20, following a months-long separation.
Jennifer Lopez hints at being ‘at peace’
As Ben Affleck continues his daily life with family and kids, the pop star has hinted that she is completely ‘unbothered’ at the moment. Her recent caption reflects her mindset, stating, “Everything is unfolding in divine order.” She also shared some philosophical musings, noting that she’s “in bloom and unbothered, out of reach and at peace.”
In a post captioned “Oh, it was a summer,” Lopez shared glimpses of her European and Hamptons vacations with her kids and family. While she enjoyed these moments, Affleck remained in Los Angeles.
