Hollywood Heartthrob Ditches Lavish Soiree for Solo Office Stint Amidst Marital Storm

Ben Affleck was spotted arriving at his Los Angeles office on Monday, following his absence from Jennifer Lopez’s Bridgerton-themed birthday bash over the weekend.

The 51-year-old actor appeared to be in high spirits as he made his way through the parking garage, despite growing concerns about the superstar couple’s marital status.

Looking dapper in a classic black suit and navy blue shirt, Affleck carried his beloved iced coffee and a black duffle bag for the morning outing.

He flashed a hint of his megawatt smile as he entered the building’s lobby before disappearing into an elevator.

The office visit follows Ben’s weekend on the West Coast, while his wife JLo celebrated her 55th birthday with a soiree in the Hamptons.

At the event, numerous guests were seen arriving in regal attire, including Lopez’s mother, Guadalupe Rodríguez, who wore a blue gown adorned with white lace detailing.

JLo also recently spent her second wedding anniversary without her husband, as he remained in California while she holidayed on the East Coast.

Ben’s business meetings come after he was seen with his wedding ring on while leaving ex Jennifer Garner’s house.

The Batman actor — who shares Violet, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with the Alias vet, 52 — looked tense as he gripped the steering wheel of his Rivian SUV, allowing a peek at his nuptial band.

Dressed in a yellow T-shirt and sipping a soda, the handsome matinee idol drove through Brentwood’s upscale neighborhood after attending several business meetings in recent days.

The visit to Garner’s pad comes amid reports that Ben and JLo’s marital woes have nothing to do with her status as a global superstar.

‘The idea that Ben thinks Jennifer is too famous and that he didn’t know what he was getting into with the attention on their marriage isn’t true,’ a source told People on Friday.

They added, ‘There are deeper issues.’

The couple, who have not been pictured together for two months, appeared to spend their second wedding anniversary apart amid divorce rumors.

On Tuesday, July 16, Ben was seen smiling in Los Angeles as he headed to his office, while Jennifer enjoyed a getaway in The Hamptons.

These sightings coincided with the two-year anniversary of their wedding at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022. They had a more lavish ceremony the following month in Georgia.

However, on their second anniversary, they were spotted on opposite coasts.

This comes amid rumors that Jennifer and Ben are facing marital issues two years after their initial wedding.

The couple also spent the Fourth of July weekend separately, with the This Is Me… Now star celebrating in the Hamptons with family and friends while the Deep Water actor stayed in Los Angeles.

It was recently disclosed that their $60.85 million marital home in Beverly Hills is now publicly on the market.

In June, the couple attempted to discreetly sell the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom mansion but were unsuccessful.

Earlier this summer, reports surfaced that Jen and Ben have been living apart for ‘months,’ amid speculation that they are headed for divorce.

But JLo did wish her other half a Happy Father’s Day.

‘Our hero. Happy Father’s Day,’ she gushed over a black-and-white photo of Ben with a white heart emoji in an Instagram Story.

The duo also recently attended Violet’s high school graduation together.

In May, sources told People Jennifer and Ben’s marriage ‘is not in the best place at the moment.’

Meanwhile, Us Weekly recently claimed that there is a ‘sliver of hope’ that Ben and Jennifer could get back together.

‘Jennifer suggested they just take time to figure it out,’ the source said.

It was also added that Bennifer 2.0 ‘still haven’t made a decision’ regarding splitting.

Affleck and Garner announced their separation in 2015 after nearly 10 years of marriage, and officially filed for divorce in 2017.

The 13 Going on 30 star has since moved on with businessman John Miller, while Ben rekindled his romance with Lopez in April 2021 before tying the knot in July 2022.

Lopez shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex Marc Anthony.
