Ben Affleck appeared stressed during an outing in Los Angeles with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and his mother Chris Boldt on Tuesday. 

The 51-year-old actor was spotted with Garner, 52, on their son Samuel’s last day of school. 

Despite swirling rumors about Affleck’s marriage to Jennifer Lopez being on shaky ground, he managed a grin at one point while chatting with his ex and mother.

 Affleck wore a grey sweater over a burgundy T-shirt, jeans, and his usual Nike sneakers, while Garner sported a blue zip-down sweater, navy leggings, socks, and trainers. Affleck and Jennifer have maintained an amicable relationship since their divorce in 2018, co-parenting their three children: Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12. In 2021, Affleck rekindled his romance with former fiancée Jennifer Lopez before marrying her a year later. 

However, recent speculation suggests trouble in paradise for the couple. Despite this, insiders insist they are still on good terms, with sources close to Lopez revealing they see each other every few days. Affleck’s visit to Lopez at their Bel Air home over the weekend comes amid rumors that he is living separately from her in a $100,000-per-month rental property in Brentwood, near Garner’s residence. The reports of marital discord intensified after it was claimed the couple had not been seen together in public for 47 days, leading to speculation about their relationship status. 

While they are not officially separated, sources suggest they have been spending time apart and are considering buying separate homes. Affleck has been leaning on his close friends, including Matt Damon, for support during this time. Amidst these rumors, the couple has reportedly enlisted a realtor to sell their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion, which they purchased last year.

 Despite their efforts to sell, no buyer has been secured yet, and Lopez is allegedly already searching for a new home while Affleck remɑins in his rental property. Photos of their former marital home have resurfaced on realtor websites, showcasing the luxurious interior of the property. The description of the property highlights its exclusive location on a 6-acre promontory, with additional guest accommodation and a caretaker’s house.
