Ben Affleck steps out in Los Angeles in his brand new ride, looking drained following Jennifer Garner’s effort to change him. Since his split from Jennifer Lopez, the actor has drawn closer to his ex-wife, Garner, with whom he fathered three children during their 13-year marriage. While their relationship as co-parents seems to have brought them closer in the wake of his divorce, the Green Lantern actor has grown increasingly distant from Lopez despite the crooner’s rumored efforts to keep him close.
His aloof treatment of the Can’t Get Enough singer has reportedly left the mother of his kids displeased, causing “a huge amount of sway” despite their familial bond. This personal turmoil involving his two exes has seemingly left the dad-of-three visibly strained. Ben Affleck was recently spotted in public, driving his brand new electric Cadillac Escalade into his LA office, wearing a grey fleece jacket.
Ben Affleck Looks Strained Outside LA Office as Two Ex-Wives Band Against Him
In snaps from the sighting, the star, donning a gray fleece jacket, wore a gloomy expression, with shaggy beards. His strained appearance mirrored the string of personal upheavals he’s faced in recent times. Sources claim that Jennifer Garner, who has been a strong, supportive presence in Ben Affleck’s life amid his divorce is unimpressed with the actor’s handling of the split, especially his less-than-pleasant treatment of Lopez. One source claimed this has caused a spat between the co-parents, as Garner hoped her kids’ dad would just “grow up.” The source claimed,
“Jen has a huge amount of sway with Ben these days, so she does feel quite obligated to police his behavior, particularly when it comes to the way he’s been treating J.Lo. He’s been so impatient with her and actually quite ungrateful, at least in view.”
Aside from his internal scuffles with his two ex-wives, Ben Affleck has experienced quite a tough month. Earlier, the star was forced to flee his Brentwood apartment amid the ravaging LA wildfires. Garner was on hand to offer him shelter in her $7.8 million abode in Brentwood Park, just blocks away from his rented apartment, which thankfully survived the inferno. Affleck also made headlines after the feds swarmed his Brentwood estate to investigate an unauthorized drone that collided with a firefighter aircraft in the neighborhood. The drone reportedly damaged the aircraft deployed to quelch the LA wildfires.
An insider stepped forward to shed light on the visit, clarifying that Ben Affleck had no trouble with the law, and was not subject to any investigation. While it is unclear if Affleck interacted with the FBI during the visit, netizens have gone wild with theories linking him to the Diddy Scandal and his ex-wife Lopez. These recent happenings are enough to leave anyone drained. Coupled with the demands of Hollywood, Affleck’s strained appearance in the latest sighting outside his LA office is quite understandable.
