Jennifer Lopez goes for bike ride in the Hamptons as Ben Affleck stays in Los Angeles

Speculation around the couple intensified after Jennifer Lopez attended the Met Gala alone in May.

Jennifer Lopez went on a bike ride with her vocal coach Stevie Mackey in the Hamptons during the Fourth of July weekend, while Ben Affleck stayed in Los Angeles amid their relationship challenges.

Mackey shared a photo on Instagram captioned, “Good times, good friends, good wheels,” showing himself and Lopez sitting on matching Linus bikes in front of a scenic summerhouse on a gravel road.

In the photo, J.Lo, 54, was dressed in a brown sweater, wide-leg white linen trousers, white sneakers, and notably, her wedding ring.

She posed confidently for the camera, sporting a ponytail and glamorous makeup.

Mackey, who has been friends with Lopez for ten years, posted a thoughtful quote on his Instagram Story:“Life is like riding a bicycle. In order to keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

Speculation around Jennifer Lopez's marriage to Ben Affleck, 51, intensified after she attended the Met Gala alone in May.

Reports emerged later that month indicating the couple is living apart, with Lopez residing in their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion, while Affleck has moved into a rental in Brentwood. They have reportedly put their marital home up for sale since then.

“[Affleck] 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,” a source told Page Six exclusively in May.
