Ben Affleck made Jennifer Lopez ‘look like a total fool’ after being spotted with ex Jennifer Garner
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ben Affleck was spotted with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner in Los Angeles on Tuesday, August 20—the same day his estranged wife Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce.
However, sources revealed that Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from Affleck that day after being enraged with the actor for spending their second wedding anniversary with his ex-wife Garner.
According to Daily Mail, the 'Air' actor, 52, returned to the West Coast with a joyful demeanor, eschewing his wedding band again after dropping his 18-year-old daughter Violet off at her Connecticut college.
Ben Affleck made Jennifer Lopez 'look like a total fool'
According to some sources, Ben Affleck was holding off on making their legal divorce announcement until after the premiere of the film 'Unstoppable,' which he co-wrote with Jennifer Lopez, in September.
An insider claimed to InTouch Weekly that enraged Lopez eventually decided to break their marriage and pursue a substantial divorce settlement after finding out that Affleck spent their second wedding anniversary with his ex-wife Garner.
"Jennifer is vowing to make Ben rue the day he decided to make her look like a loser!" the source said.
Insiders claimed that despite the 'Batman' star's exit from their shared mansion, regular hangouts with Garner, and the purchase of a $20 million bachelor pad in Pacific Palisades, Lopez hoped she could mend their strained relationship.
But Lopez became enraged over Affleck's flight from California to Connecticut with Garner to move their daughter Violet into her Yale University dorm, said the insider.
They claimed that the 'Hustlers' star was offended by pictures that showed Affleck grinning broadly with his ex-wife.
The insider said, "It's no exaggeration to say Jennifer hates his guts."
"He's made her look like a total fool by parading around with his ex-wife. Now, she's ready to go for his jugular!" the source added.
The source further added that Lopez intends to demand an enormous payout due to the lack of a prenuptial agreement between the two parties.
This marks Lopez's fourth divorce and Affleck's second. Insiders claimed that the couple did not execute a prenuptial agreement before getting married in July 2022.
In the absence of a prenuptial agreement, the celebrities' separate income from the previous two years, including any proceeds from major advertising deals or motion picture productions, would go to the community.
Ben Affleck spotted with ex-wife Jennifer Garner amid Jennifer Lopez divorce drama
Ben Affleck noticeably chose to forego his wedding band again on the second anniversary of his marriage to Jennifer Lopez which added to the rumors over his marital woes.
Accompanied by Jennifer Garner, 52, and their 15-year-old middle child, Fin, the 'Good Will Hunting' star appeared at ease and optimistic upon alighting from a private jet.
Affleck and Garner share three children from their 13-year marriage that ended in 2018.
As they left the airport, the Oscar winner was also spotted driving Garner in the front seat of his black BMW.
The three had returned after dropping 18-year-old Violet off at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, where she will start her freshman year.
Fin was spotted wearing a Yale University sweater, which might have been a recent acquisition and represents Violet's official academic preference.
Affleck and Garner exuded composure as they continue to co-parent their three children amicably after divorce.
Given that Garner has been connected to her long-term lover, tech CEO John Miller, there has been no evidence that the ex-couple is seeing each other romantically again.
This joyful family sighting coincided with Affleck and Lopez's continued hostility as the two haven't been seen together since mid-June.
Several people were taken aback when they saw Affleck and Garner together on the day of his two-year wedding anniversary to Lopez.
Hours after the sighting, Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck, ending months of separation rumors. She filed for divorce without the help of an attorney on the day of their second wedding anniversary.
