Ben Affleck held hands with his wife Jennifer Lopez as they departed his daughter Violet’s graduation ceremony in Los Angeles on Thursday amid rumors of a divorce.
It was a rare sign of PDA for the couple, who recently had a frosty reunion amid spilt speculation.
The couple clasped hands as they left the celebrations alongside JLo’s twin children, 16-year-old Max and Emme, along with Affleck’s kids Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.
Jennifer wore a salmon pink coat over her matching dress and perspex heels while her spouse opted for a smart blue suit.
The duo strode through a parking lot with their children and family but did not flash smiles. The group were joined by Ben’s mother Christopher Anne Boldt and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner‘s mother, Pat Garner.

They departed the ceremony separately and returned to their own residences with their children.
It comes after Ben and Jennifer were seen reuniting for the first time in 12 days as they attended another graduation celebration for Violet at Garner’s house.
The couple were spotted arriving to the party but neither of them were seen smiling.
Both Ben and Jennifer appeared to be wearing their wedding rings, after he was spotted without his band at various points throughout the past month.
Last weekend, however, the wedding ring reappeared on his hand during a solo outing.
The couple were then spotted leaving together in a black Cadillac Escalade and heading to the $100K-per-month rented mansion Affleck has been staying in alone after reportedly moving out of their marital home.
But after arriving at the rented house, Jennifer was seen immediately getting into her escalade with her assistant and driving away — leaving Ben behind, onlookers said.
In recent months, the couple have rarely been seen crossing paths nor spending time together on public outings amid separation rumors.

Lopez was also solo for her co-chair duties at the glitzy Met Gala in New York City on May 6 as many fans were surprised Affleck skipped the event.
Shortly afterwards, it was reported that the pair ‘just couldn’t make it work’ and are headed for a split after less than two years of marriage.
It was also reported earlier this month that the couple had already been living separately for weeks.

It has only been a year since Affleck and Lopez bought their $60.85 million, 46,000-square foot mansion, but since then, not only has Affleck moved out, Lopez was seen house hunting by herself in Beverly Hills on May 14.
Earlier this month, it was revealed Affleck had moved out of their marital home to a $100,000-a-month property in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles.
In the past two weeks, Affleck was not present to support his wife during her press tour for her new Netflix sci-fi action flick Atlas and also skipped her Mexico City movie premiere on Tuesday.
The couple also passed up another holiday together as Lopez was seen spending Memorial Day alone on Monday.
On the same day, Affleck attended Violet’s first graduation celebration without the singer on his arm and appeared downcast as he made a solo arrival at the fête.
