Ben Affleck is back in action—well, the “wandering around a parking garage” kind of action. The 52-year-old star of AIR (no, not the stuff we breathe, but the movie) was seen strutting—okay, maybe trudging—through a parking garage on Tuesday (August 20), seemingly heading to his office. And boy, did he look ready to file… papers. Not those papers though, not yet.
For this grand outing, Ben decided to go with the “I’m fine, totally fine” look. He donned a gray shirt featuring a black lightning bolt, as if Zeus himself designed it to symbolize the storm brewing in his love life. Paired with jeans, sunglasses, and an expression that screamed “I definitely didn’t just Google ‘how to stop crying in public,’” the actor was notably missing one crucial accessory—his wedding ring. RIP, left hand bling.
This comes mere hours after the world learned that Jennifer Lopez, 55, had officially pulled the plug on their latest season of “Bennifer: The Sequel.” The diva reportedly filed for divorce, and if you thought that timing couldn’t be any juicier, guess what? August 20 is the exact date when these two crazy kids decided to tie the knot again at Ben’s mansion in Georgia two years ago. Talk about an anniversary gift to remember!
In the court documents, Jennifer marked April 26, 2024, as the date of separation, because apparently, she’s got 20/20 hindsight and a calendar to prove it. Whether this will lead to another Gigli disaster or a swift return to Hollywood’s dating pool, only time will tell. Meanwhile, Ben’s lightning bolt shirt might just be sending a message: “I got struck down, but I’m still standing… well, walking. Through a parking lot. Alone.”
Stay tuned for the next chapter of Bennifer’s ongoing telenovela!
