Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly on the verge of divorce but Affleck keeps wearing his wedding ring one day and taking if off the next via Yahoo.
“The fact that he bought a new home while she was celebrating her birthday in the Hamptons was really humiliating for her,” a source exclusively tells In Touch. “Plus, one day he has his ring on, and the next day it’s off — it’s like he’s gaslighting her.”
Jennifer had been wearing her wedding ring, the “Waiting for Tonight” singer proved two can play at that game when she changed things up by stepping out in New York City on August 1 wearing her green diamond engagement ring on her right hand instead of on her left ring finger where it had previously been all summer long.
It has been noted that the move came after several brutal shots on days that should have meant the world to the Enough actress. Jennifer and Ben’s second wedding anniversary on July 16 came and went without either star acknowledging the big day. The Argo actor remained in Los Angeles as Jennifer stayed in the Hamptons.
The Bronx, New York, native was surrounded by friends and loved ones when she threw a Bridgerton-themed 55th birthday party on July 20, but Ben was noticeably absent, remaining in L.A.
On Jen’s actual July 24 birthdate, she celebrated at home in the Hamptons with close friends, including her vocal coach, Stevie Mackey. On the other side of the country, Ben closed escrow on a $20 million Pacific Palisades bachelor pad on his wife’s big day, seemingly signaling he was officially moving on.
“The way Ben ignored their anniversary, then her birthday, while having the tenacity to claim he’s protecting her somehow … it was shocking. It makes J. Lo sick to her stomach. People in their circle are wondering how it’s gotten to this point and become so toxic,” the insider dishes.
“Now Ben and J. Lo are giving each other the silent treatment. J. Lo doesn’t know how it came to this. She really thought she’d finally found her happily ever after, and then Ben pulled the rug out from under her. She’s putting up a brave front in public, but she’s seething on the inside,” the source continued.
