Ben Affleck shows his wedding ring is still on as he heads out for dinner with Jennifer Garner’s lookalike daughter Violet, 18, and Fin, 15, amid J-Lo marriage woes
Ben Affleck took his kids out to dinner in Los Angeles on Wednesday, his wedding ring still on his finger, amid growing rumors that his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, 54, has been over for months.
The 51-year-old actor took Violet (18), Fin (15) and their friends to Kaz The Soba Place for dinner.
Violet, who bears a striking resemblance to her mother Jennifer Garner (52), showed her close bond with her father as they wrapped their arms around each other as they walked to the restaurant.
It seemed like Ben was putting his marital problems aside and enjoying the time he spent with his children.
The actor wore a casual checked shirt, a gray T-shirt and jeans, while Violet opted for a navy sweater and a white and blue patterned skirt.

It comes amid mounting rumors that his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, 54, has been over for months
Fin – formerly known as Seraphina Rose – put on a lively show as she chatted with her boyfriend.
Samuel, Ben and Jennifer’s youngest child, was apparently not present at the outing.
J-Lo, meanwhile, touched down in New York City on Monday — still wearing her wedding ring — following a shocking report that claimed her marriage to Ben has been “over for months now.”
The insider also said Page Six The couple, who have not been photographed together in a month, have been ‘broken up since March.’
The couple’s love story began in 2002 when they dated while filming the movie Jersey Girl. They got engaged the following year, but split in 2004. They rekindled their romance in the spring of 2021.
The duo tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a lavish wedding at his Georgia estate in August 2022.
The couple, who have not been photographed together in almost a month, have been at the center of separation rumors for months and are said to be “on the verge of divorce.”
But despite their marital troubles, the source added that Ben is “very protective of Jennifer.”

On Monday, it was reported that the couple is selling artwork from their $60 million mansion in Bel-Air, California. The home was listed for sale last month for $65 million.
And now it appears some of the expensive stuff in the white, blocky, two-storey, 12-bedroom building known as the ‘Wallingford Estate’ is also set to sell.
Page Six In early June, the alleged paintings and “other items” were sold to collectors.
The lovebirds haven’t been seen in public together since June 2, when they awkwardly kissed each other on the cheek during his son Samuel’s basketball game in Los Angeles.
This comes just days after People reported that Affleck had moved the last few belongings out of the home while Jennifer was on vacation in Italy last month.
The stars no longer live together; she lives in their $60 million mansion in Bel Air, California, while he stays in his $100,000-a-month rental house near his ex-wife Jennifer.

At one point they all looked at something on the phone
“Ben still lives in the rental house in Brentwood,” a source told the site.
Ben continues to work as usual, despite speculation that he plans to divorce his wife of only two years.
“He’s been there for about two months now,” another source added.
“He seems fine. He’s in the office every day and seems focused on his work. He’s also spending time with his kids.”
Jennifer, on the other hand, seems to be trying to have some fun this summer, as she was spotted in Paris and later in Italy with close friends.
The two apparently still keep in touch. They have business ties: J-Lo is set to star in two upcoming films for Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company. Those films are Unstoppable and Kiss Of The Spider Woman.
This comes a week after a source told DailyMail.com that Jennifer is ‘done’ with trying to make her marriage to Ben work.
J-Lo, meanwhile, touched down in New York City on Monday — still wearing her wedding ring — following a shocking report that claimed her marriage to Ben had been “over for months.”

As rumors swirl about the status of the couple’s marriage, an industry insider claims the pop star has lost her mind and doesn’t think she can do more to save the relationship.
‘Jenny has had enough and she has really tried but she can’t do it anymore. It’s not getting better, it’s worse,’ a music industry source told DailyMail.com.
The insider adds that the main reason JLo left her husband was because he was always “grumpy and negative,” just like Oscar The Grouch from Sesame Street.
Jennifer is sad about the end of her marriage, but “is trying to make the best of it by exercising, spending time with her twins Max and Emme and making new plans for 2025,” the two said.
One of those new plans is to resume her This Is Me… Live tour in the summer of 2025, when she turns 56. She canceled the 2024 tour, which was set to begin in July, to “regroup.”
“She’s excited to be on tour next year when her personal life is more settled and she can connect with her fans. She’s going to bring her tribe and make the most of it,” the source said.
