Ben Affleck's 'Divorce' From Jennifer Lopez Allegedly Taking Physical Toll on Him: 'Kind of Let Himself Go'

Ben Affleck's appearance has started showing signs of wear and tear amid speculations surrounding his marriage with Jennifer Lopez.

Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Dorfman discussed the influence of stress on physical appearance while speaking with Radar Online.

Speculation arises that Affleck may appear gaunter and older due to the strain in his marriage.

Although Dorfman has not directly treated Affleck, he emphasized the toll that anxiety and tension can take on one's well-being.

Rumors recently suggest that tensions between Affleck and Lopez escalate as they approach their second wedding anniversary, hinting at a potential high-profile divorce.

Following intense scrutiny, the Gone Girl actor appears to have reached a point of finality in their relationship, having vacated their $60 million shared home. Sources closely connected to the situation confirm this.

Dorfman provided expertise into the factors contributing to Affleck's altered appearance, noting the contrast with his typically polished movie star persona.

According to the medical expert, "I think we've all been there at some point in our lives. [Affleck] kind of let himself go."

Dorfman emphasized that it's important for Affleck to "get back into his normal routine."

"He looks gaunt and has visibly aged. He's going through a rough time right now and looks very stressed, we're starting to scratch the surface of what stress can do in terms of cellular, signaling and impact on your hair and skin."

"Your overall health and your appetite cause chemical changes that impact your entire body so I think the best ways to reverse stress is to start exercise, eat healthy and make sure you're getting plenty of antioxidants."

Fans have raised concerns about Affleck's physical condition following his marital woes. On multiple occasions, he has appeared frail and gaunt. Despite these worries, the expert said there is still hope for Affleck.

He said that Affleck possesses a strong base, and by using advanced skincare treatments, regenerative medicine, Botox, and dermal fillers, the Batman v. Superman star has the potential to regain a healthier appearance quickly.

This comes amid reports that Affleck's bad habits are one reason for tensions in his marriage to Lopez.

Struggling to adapt to her husband's few undesirable behaviors, including smoking, Lopez is faced with a dilemma. In an effort to quit smoking, Affleck apparently began using nicotine gum, unintentionally developing a new habit, and Lopez is reportedly supporting her husband's efforts to quit smoking.

However, it seems that she's finding his newfound habit of chewing gum even more bothersome, with the behavior driving her to the point of feeling "insane."

According to a source who spoke to Radar Online last year, "[Lopez] says it bothers her to look at Ben and see that he's constantly chewing his gum."

"But he admits she hates chewing gum as much as she hates smoking."

Certain individuals have disclosed that in the new phase of their marriage, Bennifer 2.0 has been discussing Affleck's clothing choices and unfavorable habits more.

This has led to an alleged strain on their marriage, as Affleck's laid-back attitude results in minimal attention to his wardrobe selection.

Per Marca, "He's a jeans and T-shirt guy, and now [Lopez] is trying to tell him what he can and can't wear."

"She hates [Affleck's] cigarettes; he promised her he'd quit, but with all her complaining, he's smoking more than ever."
