Jennifer Lopez Calls Ben Affleck a ‘Hero’ as He Spends Father’s Day With Jennifer Garner

After all of the reports that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are headed for divorce, the latest update from the couple is more confusing than ever. In honor of Father's Day, J.Lo gave Ben a sweet shout-out on Instagram, calling him her "hero." But he may not have even spent the day with her — instead, Ben was spotted with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, and his current wife was nowhere to be found. Hmm …

Jennifer Garner was photographed at Ben's house.

As TMZ reported, Jennifer was photographed walking to Ben's rental house in Brentwood, California, on Sunday. She appeared to be alone, and there's no evidence that J.Lo was also there for the holiday.

This is definitely interesting.

It looks like their kids may have been there, too.

TMZ also reported that Ben gave Jennifer a ride home after their visit came to an end, and their youngest child, Samuel, was seen in the car with his dad on the same day. This could have been a Father's Day hangout between Ben and the kids, but in that case, where was the other Jennifer?

J.Lo did acknowledge Ben on social media.

In honor of the holiday, J.Lo took to her Instagram Stories to share a black and white photo of her husband from the 2001 movie Pearl Harbor, writing, "our hero."

This seems to be a bit of a contrast from last year, when she'd posted several photos and videos of Ben straight to her Instagram grid to wish him a happy Father's Day.

The divorce rumors have been rampant over the last few weeks.

But according to what E! News host Justin Sylvester said during an appearance on Today with Hoda and Jenna last week, things might be just fine between them.

"They looked like they still are enjoying one another," he said. "They looked like they were happy at a restaurant. They were chilling. He was his normal broody self. She was talking his ear off. Like, they looked like they were in good form."

Maybe the Father's Day post is a sign that they're working through their problems, whatever they may be.

Because Ben and J.Lo haven't commented on the rumors so far, it appears we'll just be waiting for more insider reports and social media hints to see which way this is going to go. Hopefully, what they've been going through as a couple will get better soon — whatever that means for their future.
