On the same day, actor Ben Affleck was spotted having dinner with a group of friends at a restaurant in Santa Monica, California, according to People magazine. Both Jlo and the actor continue to wear their wedding rings.
This isn’t the first Atlas premiere event Jennifer Lopez has attended without her husband, who is currently involved with the filming of “The Accountant 2,” the sequel to the 2016 film.

Although the couple has not yet spoken out about the rumors that their marriage is in crisis, the actress caught the attention of fans when she liked a post on a social network that said, “You can’t build a relationship with someone who is disconnected from themselves.”
According to Page Six, a source revealed that the actor would have “come to his senses” after his marriage and that “if there was a way to get a divorce on the grounds of temporary insanity, he would do it.” He is also rumored to be looking for a home in Los Angeles.
According
to The Daily Mail, Jennifer Lopez would have reached out to actress Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck’s ex-wife, to ask for help. According to the British newspaper’s sources, the two would be afraid that the actor will relapse – remembering that he has already been admitted more than once to rehabilitation clinics, due to problems with alcohol.
“JLo has trusted Jen [Garner] because she knows she’s one of the only people in the world who would understand what she’s going through,” the source close to the couple said.
“She [Garner] went through this with the same man, and even though the circumstances were quite different, it’s still the same man and they’ve both dealt with some of the same issues,” the person explained to the publication.
Also according to the Daily Mail, the “Suddenly 30” star wants the father of her three children to stay married, not only because she believes in his relationship with Lopez, but because she knows that the singer is one of the few people who have the ability to help the “Invisible Menace” star not fall into old addictions.
“Jen doesn’t want Ben to shut down this marriage because she really cares about JLo. She went to his house to talk to him about it and try to keep the two of them together. JLo has heard several times from Jen how much she is valued in all of her [hers] and children’s lives,” the source claimed. “She’s one of the only women who can get to Ben and stop him from falling off the deep end with his addiction,” the source continued.
“Ben is frustrated right now because he has no way out of his problems, so he runs away. The biggest fear right now is that he’s going to start drinking again and part of the reason Jen [Lopez] keeps him under control is to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
