Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Were Spotted Together for His Daughter’s Graduation Festivities

After a source revealed yesterday that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are taking some “space” from each other, the couple was spotted putting on a united front for the sake of Affleck’s daughter Violet’s high school graduation.

On Thursday, May 30, the husband-and-wife duo were seen heading to Violet’s graduation festivities in Los Angeles. In the image, Affleck, who wears a gray suit without a tie, can be seen carrying a wicker basket seemingly filled with gifts while Lopez walked beside him in a plunging floral tea-length dress with a black velvet belt.

The multi-hyphenate accessorized with a gold heart pendant necklace, chain bracelet, PVC heeled sandals, a rectangular metal purse, and her signature oversized sunglasses. Affleck’s mom Anne Boldt was also seen walking beside the pair as they made their way to the celebrations. Affleck shares Violet, in addition to Seraphina and Samuel, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

This is the duo’s first joint outing since May 19 when they were spotted leaving the Aero Theatre together after arriving separately. They were photographed walking through the parking garage together, both wearing their wedding rings.

A source told Entertainment Tonight that the two “are continuing to take space from each other. They’ve been having issues for a few months and trying to figure things out on their own.”

While the two live separately and work through their issues, Lopez is using this time to focus on her job. “Jen has been having a hard time dealing with the general stress of life as well as in her career. She has been experiencing ups and downs while processing everything,” the insider added. “She has been throwing herself into work, which has always been an outlet for her to stay busy and distracted.”
