Ben Affleck was seen wearing his wedding ring again amid rumors of marital conflict with Jennifer Lopez.
The actor, 51, was not seen wearing his ring on Friday and Saturday amid claims his marriage to JLo is in trouble.
But at some point on Saturday, the sparkly accessory came back into fashion.
The metal band was visible when Ben returned to the $100,000-a-month rental home he had recently been staying in amid separation rumors.
The accessory was on her ring finger when she reached out to enter her property.

A day earlier, on Friday night, Affleck was seen for the first time without his wedding ring amid rumors of a split with his wife Jennifer Lopez, whom he married in 2022.
The ring also went missing when he left his Brentwood rental on Saturday before reuniting with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and daughter Violet.
The Gone Girl actor joined the Alias actress, 52, and Violet, 18, to watch their son Samuel’s basketball game in Santa Monica on Saturday.
The Oscar winner was previously seen pulling out of the driveway of the Brentwood home he is currently staying in while driving a sleek dark gray BMW.
At one point, while walking down a street, Affleck stuck his left arm out the rolled down window, revealing that he was still opting not to wear his wedding ring.
A source recently said Us weekly in an article published Saturday that Ben moved out of his and Lopez’s home in Los Angeles “several weeks ago.”
Ben is currently living at the Brentwood residence while filming his latest project titled The Accountant 2.
However, another source told Us Weekly that the couple has not broken up, but “is having problems in their marriage.”
The actor was also seen wearing the ring while driving around Los Angeles.
The ring disappeared on Friday.
“They started having problems a few months ago when Jen started increasing her work commitments and preparing for her tour.”
A separate source reported People on Friday that both Lopez and Affleck ‘did not celebrate Mother’s Day together.’
Jennifer was recently spotted on Friday leaving a studio ahead of her This Is Me…Live tour and appeared to be putting on her wedding ring.
Their outing also came after a source told People that the two stars are currently “living separately” under different roofs.
In recent weeks, both Jennifer and Ben have been seen on several solo outings. And on Thursday she especially liked a scathing breakup post about a “lack of integrity and respect” on Instagram.
That same day, shortly before their cold reunion, Affleck was photographed at his $100,000-a-month rental home in Los Angeles amid growing speculation that he had split from Lopez.
It comes amid reports that the couple have been “living separately” and that Ben moved out of their $60 million Los Angeles home “several weeks ago.”
However, Affleck and Lopez reunited publicly for the first time in seven weeks amid reports that they are going through a rough patch in their marriage on Thursday.
The couple, who married in July 2022 after rekindling their romance in 2021, nearly two decades after calling off their first engagement, formed a united front while attending a school production for their 15-year-old son Fin Affleck, who wears the pronoun ‘they.’
An eyewitness told DailyMail.com that “Ben didn’t seem happy to see JLo when she arrived at one of her children’s show.”
“When he saw her get out of the car, they didn’t hug or kiss,” the observer noted.
Despite not making any public displays of affection, the 54-year-old superstar brought her son a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers to celebrate his performance.
The two-time Oscar winner also brought flowers. A source told Perez Hilton that “nothing would have stopped them from getting together to have the kids” and that “the marriage drama comes second.”
‘They are forming a united front. Jen showed up with Emme to support Fin. “Emme is very attached to Fin, so it’s only natural that Jen, no matter what’s going on with Ben, was there,” the source said.
The source noted that Lopez’s 16-year-old Emme “was super excited” and “jumped for joy at Fin’s performance.”

There appeared to be no tension between Lopez and Affleck’s 12-year-old son, Samuel, as she walked with her arms around his shoulders at one point.
Before their latest sighting, the celebrity couple known as ‘Bennifer’ was last seen together seven weeks ago in late March while having lunch in New York City.
On Wednesday, it was reported that the couple “just couldn’t make it work” and are headed for a split after less than two years of marriage. A source who spoke with In contact claimed that Affleck has already moved out of his marital home.
“The writing is on the wall: It’s over,” the source claimed, adding, “They’re headed for divorce, and for once, (Ben) isn’t to blame!” The source alleged that the actor moved out of the $60 million home he shares with Lopez.
The mother of two was spotted house hunting in Beverly Hills without Ben on Tuesday.
‘Now he is focusing on his work and his children. “Ben has already moved out and they’ll probably have to sell his dream home they’ve been looking for for two years,” the source continued.
“They will never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted.

And on Thursday she especially liked a scathing breakup post about a “lack of integrity and respect” on Instagram.
Jennifer’s decision to release her Amazon Prime documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, in February, which chronicles her love story with Ben, apparently put a strain on the couple’s marriage.
Fans have pointed out that the couple has been spending a lot of time apart lately and attending events without each other.
Lopez was alone for her co-chairing duties at the glitzy Met Gala in New York on May 6, and many were surprised Affleck skipped the event.
Ben is said to have been working on The Accountant 2, but the source said she “decided to call it quits” because of her marriage to the singer.
An eyewitness told DailyMail.com that “Ben didn’t seem happy to see JLo when she arrived at one of her children’s show.”
Meanwhile, Affleck was alone while appearing on The Roast of Tom Brady on May 5.
During their last outing together, the couple seemed tense and neither of them cracked a smile while having lunch at Cecconi’s.
The couple’s love story began in 2002 when they dated while filming the movie Jersey Girl. They got engaged the following year, but broke up in 2004. They then rekindled their romance in spring 2021.
The duo tied the knot in a ceremony in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a lavish wedding at their Georgia estate in August 2022.
They detailed the ups and downs of their rekindled romance in J Lo’s new documentary, however, although she is hell-bent on publicly declaring her love, she openly admits that Ben feels “uncomfortable” being her muse.
This isn’t the first time fans have speculated about trouble in paradise in the couple’s marriage.
In May last year, Ben appeared to slam the car door after Jennifer got into the passenger seat, sending fans into a frenzy on social media. Fans took to Twitter to comment on the viral clip, noting that he looked “miserable.”
