The 54-year-old singer took to Instagram to promote products from her JLo Beauty line – but it was her naked ring finger that grabbed the attention.

Jennifer seemingly ditched her wedding ring to film the candid clip, which you can watch below, as she encouraged fans to "show off more of that skin" and feel "confident" this summer.

Speculation about trouble in Ben and JLo's marriage arose after the couple went nearly two months without being photographed together. 

However, they soon put on a united front when they were snapped reuniting on May 16 to watch Ben's child Fin Affleck, 15, perform in a school play in Los Angeles, and they have been pictured together several times since. 

Before attending Fin's play together, the last time the couple was spotted in public was March 30.
