Ben Affleck spent several hours at his previous residence with his estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez, aged 54, on Saturday. Upon leaving, he appeared somber while driving to his rental mansion in Brentwood, which costs $100,000 per month. The 51-year-old actor wore a plaid shirt and scrolled through his phone while navigating traffic lights.
Shortly after Affleck returned home, his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, aged 52, was observed arriving at his house and entering using the security keypad code. Garner wore a white sweater with her hair pulled back using a black headband.
Speculation about the state of Affleck and Lopez’s marriage has been ongoing, with reports suggesting they may be on the verge of divorce. They have been seen together looking unhappy and tense, and their $60 million Bel Air mansion has appeared on real estate listings.
Despite not being officially separated, reports suggest the couple are leading somewhat separate lives amidst their rumored marital difficulties. They have not been photographed together publicly for 47 days, and recent outings have shown strained body language between them.
Garner, who was married to Affleck from 2005 to 2018 and shares three children with him, has been a supportive presence for her ex-husband. However, her involvement has reportedly caused some tension in her current relationship with John Miller, whom she has been dating since 2018.
According to sources, Miller cares for Affleck and sympathizes with his situation but feels Garner shouldn’t be solely responsible for resolving her ex-husband’s issues with his current wife. He prefers to stay out of their personal matters, considering it none of his business.
Despite the complexities, Garner rеmains committed to supporting Affleck, particularly concerning their children’s well-being. Affleck, in turn, tries not to burden Garner with discussions about his marital problems, focusing instead on parenting discussions.
Overall, while Garner and Affleck maintain a strong friendship and co-parenting relationship, the dynamics of their interactions amidst Affleck’s marital challenges with Lopez continue to be closely watched.
