Ben Affleck's Silent Suffering Revealed As Jennifer Lopez Divorce Buzz Intensifies

Sightings of Ben Affleck have been reported in Los Angeles amid swirling speculations about his marriage status with Jennifer Lopez.

During the Fourth of July Weekend, the Gone Girl actor was seen going to his workplace in Los Angeles, California.

Meanwhile, the "Jenny from the Block" singer was spotted leisurely in the Hamptons.

Affleck was seen sporting a laid-back look in a plain gray T-shirt paired with jeans and sneakers, holding a cup in one hand. Despite appearing tense and rushed, he was briskly strolling through the area.

According to body language expert Judi James, one could infer that Affleck felt uneasy based on his tight grip on the cup he used as a prop.

She told The Mirror, "There is some clear suggestion of tension here and Ben is still clutching his now-signature prop of the coffee cup."

The expert clarified that the Affleck's actions were a strategic move aimed at shifting the prevailing narrative surrounding his supposed irritation with intrusive off-screen cameras.

James added, "There is some mood-movement and it could appear from his body language that he's trying to look philosophical rather than merely irritated by the cameras."

She further pointed out that the Batman v. Superman actor's chin positioning signified a display of confidence. Moreover, she observed that his expansive shoulder stance appeared to mirror the superhero characters he embodies in movies.

Upon observing Ben's walk, James made an interesting observation, explaining, "Affleck's stride appears to have a touch of jauntiness to it, and surprisingly, there's a faint hint of a smile on his face."

"Although his lips are sealed, the genuine expression is evident with a subtle crinkling around his eyes. It seems like his mood has lifted ever so slightly in this moment."

Since rumors of Lopez and Affleck's divorce surfaced in May, the dad-of-three has been closely scrutinized. Despite numerous reports suggesting their divorce is imminent and unlikely to be reconciled, Affleck was recently spotted still wearing his wedding ring, sparking further speculation about the state of their relationship.

Meanwhile, According to a report by The Daily Mail, Lopez's family is urging her to take the initiative and start the "divorce proceedings to move forward with her life" without Affleck.

According to a source who spoke to the outlet, Lopez's mother, Guadalupe Rodriguez, and sisters encourage her to "move on to avoid getting any deeper in this mess."

The source mentioned that Rodriguez advised the Hustlers actress to "'Cut your losses'" and highlighted that she only "wasted years believing that Ben was some kind of knight in shining armor."

"He was not the person she built him up to be. It's taken too much of a toll on her, and because of this, she has lost sight of who she is and what she stands for."

Amid the situation, another insider told the outlet that Jennifer Garner, Affleck's former wife, decided to distance herself from her unofficial role as a mediator between Affleck and Lopez during their alleged separation.

Eventually, Garner reportedly expressed, "Sorry, figure this out yourself," with the insider adding, "It was beginning to become too painful for her because it was bringing back so many memories of their divorce."
