AceShowbiz - On Wednesday, August 21, Ben Affleck was photographed smoking a cigarette in Los Angeles, a day after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce. The "Argo" star appeared pensive and somber as he drove to his office with his window down, noticeably missing his wedding ring.
Affleck had been seen with his children the previous day, hours after the divorce news broke. Insiders claim that the couple's marital strife began shortly after their Georgia wedding in August 2022, with Lopez reportedly feeling "humiliated" and "frustrated" by their failed attempt at reconciliation.
Sources allege that Affleck's desire for privacy and his discomfort with Lopez's celebrity lifestyle contributed to the tension. The actor recently acquired a luxurious $20 million mansion in Los Angeles, which may reflect his desire for separation.
Despite Affleck's public expressions of wanting to keep their relationship private, Lopez and Affleck have been plagued by rumors of marital problems for months. The divorce filing, which Lopez listed as effective from April 26, confirmed the end of their high-profile relationship.
The couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement before marrying, which could complicate the division of their assets. Affleck and Lopez share no children together, but they have blended families from their previous marriages. Affleck shares three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, while Lopez shares twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
