Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are out and about together once again, being snapped together in public for the first time in nearly two weeks.

The couple, who are reportedly living separately as they work on their marriage while dealing with professional commitments, were snapped in Los Angeles on their way to a family celebration.

They were seen heading to another graduation party for Ben and ex-wife Jennifer Garner's daughter Violet, who recently graduated from high school.

The 18-year-old has already been celebrated by her mom, who shared a tearful (and viral) Instagram video marking the occasion, and has been seen in public out with her stepmom JLo as well.

Both Ben and Jennifer kept their hands hidden away to avoid sparking talk of their wedding bands after the former was seen weeks ago walking around LA without his ring.
