Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are continuing to wear their wedding rings amid recent marital strain.
On Friday, July 5, Lopez, 54, was spotted wearing her jewelry piece while out and about in Bridgehampton, New York, shopping with her manager, Benny Medina.
Affleck, 51, meanwhile, was seen doing the same while on the opposite coast in Los Angeles, grabbing lunch at Baltaire Restaurant.
The couple, who wed in July 2022, had previously spent the Fourth of July apart from each other as well.

Lopez’s time spent in New York comes about following her recent trip to Europe without Affleck. A source recently told PEOPLE that the pair are “doing their own thing” this summer.
“Jennifer’s having a wonderful time in Europe,” the insider told PEOPLE last month. “She loves Italy and visits every year.”
“She’s grateful for a break. The past few weeks have been emotional for her,” they added. “Ben has been working in L.A. and is spending time with his kids.”
Affleck shares three kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner — Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 — while Lopez shares two kids, 16-year-old twins Emme and Max, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
