After the much headlined split of Hollywood couple Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck last month, Affleck was seen still wearing his wedding band while presenting an award at the annual ESPY Awards Wednesday.

On stage at the Nokia Theater, Affleck presented the "Icon Award" to retired New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter. It was then that fans and critics alike spotted his wedding ring. According to reports from the Mirror, Garner has also been seen still with the wedding band around her finger.

A source told the news site that the couple of 10 years agreed to both keep their wedding rings on as a symbol of their unending dedication to their children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel, despite their decision to divorce.

Hollywood was taken by surprise after one of the country's favorite couples confirmed they were calling it quits, but confirmed afterward in a report by People that they planned to remain in their spacious estate so they could remain involved in raising their kids.

Affleck was honored to present the notable ESPY "Icon Award" to Jeter whom he expressed deep admiration for. The actor revealed that his heart broke when Jeter decided to retire.

"He broke it again when he retired because he was absolutely one of the very best to ever play the game of baseball. So to you, Derek Jeter, I tip my hat and thank you for every last moment of your incredible career," reported the Mirror.

Meanwhile, in a story by People, Affleck was seen around their family home walking their dog and driving around in a new black Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. The luxury vehicle is said to be worth more than $60,000. Sources say he may be practicing around his own 'Batmobile'. Affleck is set to star as the Caped Crusader in the 2016 superhero film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice".
