Ben Affleck labeled 'narcissist' as he attends daughter Violet's graduation party without Jennifer Lopez amid split rumors

Dressed in a beige blazer, white button-down shirt, blue jeans, and boots, Affleck, 51, marked the milestone for his 18-year-old daughter, Violet, whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Garner, 52, celebrated the occasion by sharing emotional photos of her crying at the ceremony on social media, captioning, “Tell me you have a graduate without telling me you have a graduate. (bless our hearts).”
Affleck and Garner, who divorced in 2018 after 13 years of marriage, also share two other children: Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.
Affleck is a stepfather to Lopez’s 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony. However, Lopez, 54, was notably absent from Violet’s graduation festivities, amid increasing rumors of marital discord.
Sources have suggested that Affleck and Lopez are on the brink of divorce, citing their inability to resolve ongoing issues. One insider told Page Six, “If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would. He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.”
Speculation about their troubled relationship intensified when Affleck missed the Met Gala, an event Lopez attended without him. He was also seen without his wedding ring and did not attend the premiere of Lopez’s film, 'Atlas.' Lopez, on her part, has been avoiding questions about their marriage, further fueling the rumors.
Affleck and Lopez, who were first engaged in the early 2000s before splitting up, rekindled their romance in 2021 and married in Las Vegas the following year.

Affleck's solo appearance at the Los Angeles event over Memorial Day weekend has fueled speculation about the state of his marriage with Lopez.

Divorces and parents’ relationships are tough enough. But Ben and Jen decided it would be a good idea for another tumultuous relationship and breakup."
Another user said, "Affleck couldn’t stay with someone sensible. He’s now unlikely to stay with someone un-sensible. What the heck does he want?"

A more blunt comment read, "That drunk made a fool of himself."
Another user specifically called out Affleck for his absence at the actual graduation ceremony, writing, "Shame on Ben for missing the actual graduation ceremony!!!!"
