Jennifer Lopez was seen wearing her wedding ring amid her and husband Ben Affleck’s marital problems.
Lopez, 54, was photographed on Friday, May 24, leaving the studio wearing white sweatpants and a matching long-sleeved crop top, paired with a cream-colored Birkin handbag, sunglasses and, of course, her platinum wedding band.

While promoting her new movie Atlas in Mexico City, Lopez dodged inquiries about her marriage to Affleck during a press Q&A, with costar Simu Liu quickly jumping in to deflect the question. “OK, we’re not doing that,” he said. “Thank you so much, guys.
