Ben Affleck looked strained as he reunited with wife Jennifer Lopez and ex Jennifer Garner for his 12-year-old son Samuel's graduation ceremony in Los Angeles on Wednesday, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Affleck and J Lo, who are reportedly living separately as rumors of marital troubles and imminent divorce continue to swirl around them, arrived and left separately and were not seen interacting or photographed together at the event.
Garner, Samuel's mother, was also there to show her support alongside their other children Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15, who now goes by Fin.
The Daily Mail reports that Affleck, who came with his mother Chris Anne Boldt, wore his wedding ring but failed to crack a smile as he celebrated his son's big milestone.
Lopez, on the other hand, was seen smiling and appeared to be in high spirits as she attended with Max and Emme, 16, her twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Garner, Samuel's mother, was also there to show her support alongside their other children Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15, who now goes by Fin.
Lopez allegedly "insisted" that they wear their wedding rings and had a "fit" over Ben moving his belongings out of their marital home.
Although Affleck and Lopez presented a united front when they got together for Violet's graduation party last month, their relationship seems to have deteriorated since then.
They are rarely seen together and reportedly last reunited on Sunday, when they had a four-hour meeting at the $60 million Beverly Hills mansion they are putting up for sale.
Affleck has been living at a rental in Brentwood near Garner and their kids, and both he and Lopez have reportedly been seen house-hunting in recent weeks.
