Jennifer Lopez finally removes her ring as she tours $68million LA mansion amid claims she and Ben Affleck are no longer on speaking terms as divorce filing looms
Jennifer Lopez finally removed her wedding ring on Monday amid speculation she and Ben Affleck are ‘no longer on speaking terms’ ahead of an imminent divorce filing.
The singer, 55, has been in the headlines alongside her actor spouse, 51, with the two being engulfed in divorce rumors after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed documents had been ‘finalized, but not yet turned in.’
Lopez made a defiant statement as she flashed her bare hands – after previously switching her wedding ring to her right hand – while checking out a $68million mansion in Beverly Hills.
The star looked somber as she stepped out with child Emme, 16, while clad in a plunging black top and high waisted cream trousers – after jetting back to LA from an extended stay in the Hamptons.
Her locks were worn in soft waves and she sported oversize shades for the tour of the 5-bed, 6.5-bath mansion.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are ‘no longer SPEAKING to each other’
In recent months, the once-loved up couple – who previously dated from 2002 to 2004 – have been pictured without their wedding rings and now look set to push ahead with their divorce after a final attempt at reconciliation failed.
And as reports about the fate of their A-list union reach fever pitch, the couple has seemingly cut all ties to one another.
According to TMZ, the Love Don’t Cost A Thing songstress and the Gone Girl star have stopped talking altogether – making it even more difficult for the pair to reach an agreement.
The outlet revealed that the Hollywood heavyweights have been making their separation harder by keeping tight-lipped – refusing to talk in person or over the phone.
TMZ reported that the celebrities are yet to enlist the help of lawyers and have instead gone through their respective business managers.
However, they plan to hire divorce lawyers after they reach a settlement.
DailyMail.com contacted representatives for Ben and Jennifer for comment.

The news came after Ben splashed out a whopping $20.5 million on a new ‘bachelor pad’ mansion in the Pacific Palisades on July 24 – the day his spouse celebrated her birthday.
And according to Jennifer’s friends, the purchase left her furious and felt like a ‘stab to the heart.’
Ben’s lavish purchase came days after the couple listed their Beverly Hills mansion for $68 million.
And July 24 also marked the day the singer finalized the sale of her four-bedroom New York City penthouse for $23 million, People reported.
‘They finalized the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them,’ one source close to the duo claimed.
‘At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work, but couldn’t.
‘Honestly, in the end they could not come to a compromise. What they had before is gone and they have both accepted it,’ another source claimed.
Amid reports of their separation, Ben has also unveiled his shocking new appearance.
He rounded off the outfit with skinny jeans, aviators and black leather jacket that appeared undersized – but went noticeably without his wedding ring

Ben and Jennifer were last pictured together on March 30. They have since spent the summer apart – Jennifer largely on the east coast while Ben remains at home in Los Angeles.
The couple showed that they had no plans of romancing as they even spent their wedding anniversary, which was on July 16, in different cities.
Reports of Ben and Jennifer’s marital woes began circulating in May when a sources close to the couple reported Ben had moved into a $100,000 rental and the couple intended to sell their ‘dream home’.
A separate source noted that the rift between the husband and wife had been ‘difficult day-to-day’ amid basic philosophical differences.
‘She likes to open her heart to her fans and to the world,’ the source said. ‘He is more introspective and private.’

Ben’s home was just a short drive from ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s Brentwood house.
The couple were married from 2005 to 2018, and share children Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.
A body language expert previously revealed to DailyMail.com claimed that Ben and Jennifer appeared to be ‘unhappy’ and no longer have a ‘look of love’ in their eyes – amid speculation that the couple is headed for a second separation.
