How Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck actually spent wedding anniversary amid mounting divorce rumours
If you're a major J Lo and Ben Affleck fan, you'll know that Tuesday (16 July) marked the couple's two-year wedding anniversary - and those following the rumors of marital trouble for the couple will be interested to hear how they spent it.
Fans around the world were overjoyed when the power couple reunited and tied the knot back in 2022, after originally dating back in the early Noughties.
Although the couple were engaged, they ended up splitting up in 2004.
During their time apart, J Lo went on to marry Marc Anthony, who she shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with, meanwhile Affleck had three children; Violet, 18, as well as Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

Despite the happy ending we all hoped for, there's recently been a whole host of break-up rumours circulating around the pair, which were fuelled even further when Jen was spotted holidaying on her own in Italy last month.
And as the pair celebrated their anniversary on Tuesday, many wondered how they were marking the occasion.
Well, according to reports, Jen has been in the Hamptons since 4 July and was seen with Affleck's daughter, Violet, earlier this week.
Affleck, however, has been in Los Angeles, according to People. Of course, it's not clear whether the pair flew out to see each other on their anniversary, or if they'll celebrate in another way on a separate date.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez divorce rumours explained
Back in May, fans were puzzled after Affleck was not present as Lopez attended the Mexican premiere for Atlas, the Netflix sci-fi action thriller which she starred in.
At a press conference for the movie, a reporter asked: "Is your divorce with Ben Affleck real? These rumours? What is the truth?"
Lopez's co-star Simu Liu was quick to defend the couple, shutting down the question immediately.
He quickly said: "OK, we’re not doing that. Thank you so much guys, we really appreciate it. Thank you.
"Don’t come in with that energy please. If I could just end on one thing.
"Jen is a producer on this movie and the reason why I am here and why Sterling [K Brown] was in this beautiful movie is because Jen cares. And Jen cares about things like representation and diversity, and she’s a boss.”
The rumours were fuelled even further when Affleck was absent from the Met Gala - where J Lo was a co-chairwoman - and according to reports, the pair have also listed their 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom California mansion, too.
However, the couple have been regularly spotted wearing their wedding rings, and on Father's Day (16 June), Jen posted a picture of Affleck on social media and called him 'our hero'.
