Ben Affleck looked lonely as he arrived at daughter Violet’s graduation ceremony on Monday. The Accountant star opted for a simple look as he celebrated the major achievement achieved by his daughter, whom he shares with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. However, the camera-shy Affleck appeared ‘sad’ as he made his exit, fuelling rumours of a rift in his marriage with Jennifer Lopez. After briefly taking off his wedding ring last week, the actor was spotted wearing it again.

Ben Affleck attends daughter’s graduation ceremony alone
Sporting a clean-shaven look with blue jeans and a beige coat over a white untucked shirt, the new Brentwood resident was captured on camera by Daily Mail while he was celebrating his daughter Violet’s high school graduation in Los Angeles. This is probably the first time JLO is not a part of the celebration, at least in the pictures. Earlier, she has always been present at all their shared kids’ events with Affleck. Last time too, she attended Finn’s (Ben’s kid) school play where they reunited publicly for the first time in over a month and almost put an end to all the separation rumors.
Bennifer flies solo amid split rumors
On one hand, the Daredevil star, who has reportedly moved out of his $60 million Beverly Hills mansion he shared with JLo, has been spotted solo with one wedding ring on display. On the other hand, the singer walked the red carpet of her Netflix movie Atlas alone. While she wore her wedding ring and even openly mentioned Affleck in an interview, his constant absence from all her important endeavors lately has not gone unnoticed. Last week, while in Mexico, Lopez was seen scolding a reporter when she was repeatedly asked about her relationship status, saying, “You know better than that.”
“They will never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him and he can’t change her,” an insider told InTouch last week. “There’s no way this relationship can last.” They added.

Lopez is asking Jennifer Garner for help
TMZ reported that Affleck is living in a rented property in the Brentwood neighborhood, which is close to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, who also recently visited him. Now, a source tells the Daily Mail that Lopez is seeking Garner’s help to save her marriage because no one else knows her better than the couple who have lived under the same roof for over a decade. The insider explained that Garner is ‘desperately’ trying to help the couple, insisting that “JLo is trusting Jen because she knows she’s one of the only people in the world who can understand what she’s going through.”
