Ben Affleck Looks Distraught Talking With Jennifer Garner as Rumors About His Marriage Continue

On a fateful June day, the usually bustling streets of Santa Monica bore witness to a poignant moment between former lovebirds.  Ben Affleck, the acclaimed actor known for his charisma on screen, had his guard down and looked visibly shaken, a stark contrast to the characters he famously plays.As he engaged in a profound conversation with his ex-wife, actress Jennifer Garner, the heavy weight of emotion was palpable.  Their history, a once hailed fairy tale romance which culminated in a decade-long marriage, couldn’t escape the scrutiny of the public eye, especially given the persistent rumors that had been circling about his current marriage.

Both Affleck and Garner, who divorced in June 2015 after 10 years of marriage, seemed sad in the photos as they stood side by side on the street.Garner wore a blue zip-up hoodie, navy leggings, white ankle socks and sneakers.Her sunglasses hid her eyes, but the actress’ lips were puckered in a somber position.

Garner and Affleck’s outing came days after the Argo director was spotted with Lopez, 54, at the Los Angeles house they are selling.

Photographers told Page Six that the couple were inside the residence four hours amid ongoing marital issues.

Affleck and Lopez, who tied the knot in 2022, sparked breakup speculation last month when reports surfaced that the duo hadn’t been seen together in 47 days.

A source exclusively told Us Weekly in May that Affleck had moved out of their L.

A. mansion “several weeks” earlier, but neither party has publicly addressed the residence change.

“They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour,” the insider said.    “Jen is very focused on work.    They are on two completely different pages most of the time.”

Through it all, Garner has been rooting for her ex-husband to fix things with Lopez.  “Jennifer Garner is encouraging Ben to work on his marriage to Jen,” a source exclusively told Us last month.  “She fully supports their relationship and wants nothing more than for him to be happy.”
