Lopez was photographed riding her bike in the Hamptons. She wore white overalls, brown sandals and had her hair tied up in a bun.
The Bronx native also went for a ride in a convertible with her manager, Benny Medina.
Affleck, meanwhile, was seen heading to his office in Los Angeles. He wore a dark suit and carried a coffee and a black duffel bag.
Despite being apart, the stars both appeared to be wearing their wedding rings on their separate outings. Although they didn’t publicly acknowledge the milestone on social media, Lopez called Affleck her “hero” in a Father’s Day post on June 16.
Affleck and Lopez were initially together in the early 2000s. They ended their engagement in 2004, and went on to marry and have kids with other people — respectively, Jennifer Garner and Marc Anthony.
After getting back together in 2021, Affleck and Lopez became husband and wife on July 16, 2022. They obtained a marriage license from Clark County, Nevada, after a three-month engagement.
Lopez confirmed the couple tied the knot in her newsletter “On The JLo” at the time, calling the nuptials “the best possible wedding we could have imagined.”
“Love is beautiful. Love is kind. And it turns out love is patient. Twenty years patient,” she wrote.
One month later, the A-listers got married for the second time in an extravagant, star-studded ceremony at Affleck’s sprawling Georgia home.
Their five combined kids (Lopez’s twins and Affleck’s three kids) were at the Georgia wedding.
Less than two years into their marriage, Lopez and Affleck became the subject of split rumors that have persisted since May.
They were not seen together for 47 days between March and May, during which Lopez attended the 2024 Met Gala solo.
It was also reported that Affleck was staying at a separate house from his wife. The “Gigli” co-stars have since listed their $60 million Beverly Hills marital home for sale.
On May 20, Page Six reported that Affleck has “come to his senses” about the pair’s failing marriage.
“If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would,” the insider alleged. “He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.”
Lopez and Affleck have spent most of their summer apart, with Lopez traveling to Italy and France while Affleck stayed home in Los Angeles. She spent the Fourth of July weekend in the Hamptons without her husband, as well.
On July 10, Us Weekly reported that the stars are “living separate lives” right now, but they “still haven’t made a decision” regarding their rumored divorce.
However, a source told the publication that there’s still a “sliver of hope” for Lopez and Affleck to reconcile.
“They are going through so much individually and as a couple,” an insider claimed. “They may take some time to see if this complicated moment can resolve itself and they come back to each other [as] better people.”
Lopez and Affleck have not publicly addressed the split rumors.
