LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had their second wedding anniversary amid their alleged marital issues. However, none of them publicly acknowledged the date and reportedly celebrated the event on separate coasts.
The 'Gone Girl' actor, 51, was seen grinning on Tuesday, July 16, as he made his way to his workplace in Los Angeles, while Lopez, 54, took pleasure in a ride in The Hamptons with her manager, Benny Medina, on the same day, the Daily Mail reported.
Jennifer Lopez ignores 2nd wedding anniversary with Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got married in an intimate Las Vegas ceremony in 2022, but they have been apart most of the summer as they have worked to resolve the apparent issues in their relationship.
Moreover, Lopez entirely neglected to mention the significant occasion on social media with her actor husband amid ongoing marital owes, according to OK! Magazine.
The 'Get Right' singer, however, made a significant effort to remember their special day in 2023 by sharing pictures from their wedding with the message, "One year since our Midnight Trip To Vegas … 🤍♠️❤️ Go to On The JLo for a special surprise… #ThisIsMeNow."

The couple has been trying to stay "positive" for their children even if it seems like their fairy tale romance is crumbling. "Jen and Ben have been trying to focus on their loved ones while spending time apart," one source stated.
"Jen and Ben are both keeping their kids and respective families at the forefront of their minds as they move through these changes," they added.
Another insider remarked of Lopez and Affleck—who recently listed their $60 million Beverly Hills property, "They don’t hate each other — they’re [just] going through difficult times. They are going through so much individually and as a couple."

The actor was spotted smiling, wearing a black business suit when he arrived at his Los Angeles office that same day. He was also carrying a duffel bag and a big iced coffee.
Despite their separate outings, the stars appeared to be wearing their wedding bands, per the New York Post.
The date marks two years since Lopez and Affleck exchanged vows in a private ceremony held in Las Vegas in 2022. They held another ceremony in Georgia for their loved ones in August of the same year.

Lopez wore brown sandals, white overalls, and a loose bun for her outdoor leisure wear. Furthermore, she was spotted in the passenger seat of a black car that her manager Benny Medina was driving.
Meanwhile, the 'Air' actor looked stylish in a navy blue suit with a fresh white button-down underneath. Affleck looked dapper with a clean-shaven face while approaching the lot with a smile.
The actor has spent most of the summer in California due to filming for 'The Accountant 2'. As a result, he was unable to attend events with Lopez, such as the Met Gala or the 'Atlas' premiere.
The sightings occurred a few days after Affleck's daughter with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, Violet, was seen bonding with Lopez. The duo was spotted strolling arm in arm in Southampton, New York, during a date, along with Violet's friend, actress Cassidey Fralin.
Jennifer "seemed to be very happy shopping with Ben’s daughter. She had a big smile on her face," a source told People.
According to a second insider, the two were "surrounded by people" when they left the Roller Rabbit in East Hampton, New York, and they looked "unfazed".
While none of the stars has disclosed their marital status, a source told the outlet in June that the couple is "focused on their separate lives" and "don't have any summer plans together".
