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 local media 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.
This marks the first time the star has completely ditched her wedding bands – after Affleck showed off his own ring-free hand while debuting a midlife crisis makeover of a faux hawk and rocker tee on Saturday.
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 local media reports, 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.
Local press also 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.
