Ben Affleck appeared stressed as he was seen puffing on a cigarette one day after his estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez, filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary.
The “Argo” star smoked with his windows down as he drove to his Los Angeles office on Wednesday afternoon.
Affleck noticeably ditched his wedding ring as his arm dangled out the window.
The actor returned to work after arriving back on the West Coast Tuesday alongside his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
The former couple have spent the past week helping their 18-year-old daughter, Violet, move into her dorm at Yale University in New Haven, Conn.
Affleck, 52, appeared in good spirits as he was photographed getting off a private jet with Garner, 52, and their 15-year-old child, Seraphina, hours before Lopez pulled a plug on their marriage.
Later that day, the “Gone Girl” star was spotted walking in a parking garage outside of his workplace amid the news the actress had filed for divorce.
Lopez, 55, submitted the papers in a Los Angeles court on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony.
A source told Page Six that the “On the Floor” songstress initially filed the docs on the milestone date to show she is “a woman standing up in her own way.”
The former couple, who initially eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022, didn’t sign a prenup.
Lopez listed their split date as April 26.
Insiders previously told Page Six that the duo’s marriage has been over since March, as another added Affleck had “come to his senses” about his relationship with the pop star.
While the duo haven’t addressed their separation, they noticeably have spent time apart as Lopez attended the Met Gala solo and traveled to New York sans the actor.
As for the “Good Will Hunting” star, he stayed in Los Angeles to film “The Accountant 2″ and spend time with his children.
Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance in 2021 after previously breaking off their engagement in 2004.
Sources previously told us that the “Selena” star felt “humiliated” and “frustrated” their second shot together failed after she “made a big deal that he’s the love of her life.”
We were also told that the father of three held off filing for divorce to spare his estranged wife the embarrassment.
After months of dodging breakup rumors, the exes and their five children are ready to move forward, insiders told Page Six.
Affleck and Garner share Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, 12, while Lopez and her ex-husband Marc Anthony share 16-year-old twins Max and Emme.
