AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck was spotted joining his best friend Matt Damon and his family for dinner in Los Angeles amid his high-profile divorce from Jennifer Lopez. Damon and his wife, Luciana Barroso, arrived at the Italian hot spot Toscana with their daughters.
The couple, who have been married since 2005, greeted everyone with smiles. Affleck joined the group, arriving solo and looking somber.
According to sources, Affleck has been "leaning" on Damon amid his split from Lopez, who filed for divorce last week. Damon has previously expressed support for his friend, but admitted he couldn't imagine living under the same scrutiny.
While Affleck and Damon enjoyed their dinner, Lopez recently made her return to social media, sharing a throwback photo on Instagram. Meanwhile, Affleck was in New Haven, Connecticut, helping his eldest daughter Violet move into Yale University.
In the past, Affleck had admitted to feeling uncomfortable with his and Lopez's relationship being displayed publicly. Lopez, on the other hand, embraced it, releasing a documentary detailing their love story.
Despite his divorce, Affleck has been seen out and about, including taking his children on movie dates. He is reportedly not sulking but rather finding solace in his friend's company.
Affleck has been married twice before, to Jennifer Garner and Lopez. Lopez has also had multiple marriages. She was previously married to Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, Marc Anthony and Affleck. She is now seeking a formal name change back to Jennifer Lynn Lopez.
Sources have speculated that Affleck's "erratic mood swings" contributed to the demise of his marriage to Lopez. However, Lopez has stated that she loves Affleck and supports his artistic endeavors.
