Ben Affleck is currently going through a very public divorce with Jennifer Lopez. The singer filed to end her marriage to the actor in August. However, they couple aren’t avoiding each other. Instead, they’ve been seen reuniting since the divorce filing, and they’ve even been spending time with their blended family together. However, over the weekend, the Gone Girl star took off for a solo outing as he went to visit a friend at a sports rehab facility.
Ben Affleck was photographed rocking a yellow Corvette racing t-shirt that included wrinkles. He added a pair of jeans and some sneakers to complete the casual look. He accessorized with a pair of aviator sunglasses and a wine-colored corduroy jacket with fleece lining. While Jennifer Lopez was nowhere in sight, it seems that Affleck was ready to settle in for a visit with a friend. He even brought a bag of food to enjoy during the visit, per The Daily Mail.
It wasn’t revealed who Affleck was at the rehab facility to visit. However, the center is located in Westlake Village, California. The Argo director sported a full beard and mustache, looking much different than his outing the weekend before with JLo and their kids. Instantly, fans noticed the shift in the actor’s appearance.
Ben Affleck Visits Friend in Rehab Amid Jennifer Lopez Reunion
“What happened to him? Before that Beverly Hills hotel brunch with JLo and the kids he looked slimmer, better, and he was clean shaven. Now he looks a mess again with that awful beard that JLo loves,” one person commented.
“He’s getting in shape to go flirting,” another guessed at the reason he was at the sports rehab center.
“That was nice of him. It’s tough being in a physical medicine rehab unit, and a visitor bearing food was likely quite welcome,” a third comment read.
“If there is one thing that Ben understands, it’s what it’s like to be in rehab. Maybe that reunion with JLo was difficult,” a fourth person stated.
Meanwhile, Affleck and Lopez’s divorce may not be as smooth as they’re are portraying. OK! Magazine reports that JLo’s friends all hate the actor, and are reportedly “disgusted” by Affleck at the moment.
However, Jennifer Lopez has a tight circle of people to lean on amid her divorce from Ben Affleck. Perhaps Ben’s rehab friend also offered support to the actor during the difficult time.
