On the other hand, several others also commented and referenced her other divorces before she got married to Ben Affleck. Moreover, there were a few who also stated that she was on the stage to promote her movie, and not to answer personal questions.

As per Page Six, the rumors about the couple parting ways started when Ben Affleck was seen leaving home, and the publication reported that the star had been on a house hunt in Los Angeles. They also reported that Ben was seen without his wedding band on many occasions, however, nothing has yet been confirmed by the couple.
