Ben Affleck celebrates 4th of July with Violet and Seraphina in LA; Jennifer Lopez not present
Ben Affleck was seen spending time with two of his children on the West Coast while Jennifer Lopez enjoyed the "long weekend" on the opposite coast, amid reports that their relationship has been over for several months.
The actor from "Argo" was seen having ramen with his children Violet and Seraphina, whom he shares with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, at Kaz The Soba Place in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
At one moment, Affleck smiled briefly, while Violet, often noted for her resemblance to Garner, placed her arm around his neck and conversed with him as they walked to the restaurant.
The 51-year-old Oscar winner, along with his children and two of their friends, sat outdoors at the restaurant, chatting and enjoying their meal.
Meanwhile, Lopez, aged 54, remained engaged on social media and hinted at her plans for the Fourth of July weekend.
The singer of "On the Floor" shared a video meme on her Instagram Story Wednesday, featuring a lively dance-off between a girl and a guy, captioned "Long weekend mood..."
A few hours afterward, Lopez shared a video selfie showing her smiling while seated in the front seat of a convertible with two other individuals.
She captioned it with "bom dia meu povo," which translates to "good morning my people."
It's uncertain where exactly Lopez was enjoying her moment of freedom, but she was seen in New York City that day wearing a crop top with the phrase "JLO BE MY MAMA."
Affleck and Lopez, who married in 2022, have been the subject of separation rumors since he relocated from their shared home to a rental property in May.
Since then, Page Six has verified that they have been actively trying to sell their $60 million mansion and items from their art collection.
According to an insider who spoke to the publication, their relationship has been “over for months,” but Affleck has remained quiet about it because he is “very protective of Jennifer.”
The source stated that the two celebrities have been separated since March, just before speculation arose when she attended and co-chaired the Met Gala in May without him
