In the midst of a rocky relationship with Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck has decided to shake things up with a fresh hairstyle.
Recently captured by paparazzi in Los Angeles on August 3, Affleck’s new look features shaved sides and a shorter tuft on top, marking a departure from his usual longer locks.
The transformation seems to reflect the changes happening in his personal life.
On that fateful Saturday, Affleck stepped out in style, sporting a leather jacket, aviator sunglasses, and skinny jeans, all while flaunting his edgy new hairdo.
However, what caught many eyes was the absence of his wedding ring, raising eyebrows about the state of his marriage.
After rekindling their romance from the early 2000s, the couple tied the knot in July 2022, but just a year later, the cracks are starting to show.
Reports from Us Weekly reveal that the couple is no longer sharing a home, a significant sign just before their second anniversary.
Lopez was also seen recently without her wedding band while spending time alone on the East Coast, further fueling speculation about their relationship status.
Despite the physical distance and lack of rings, their marriage hasn’t been officially dissolved yet.
Sources close to the couple have indicated that they are struggling to find common ground, leading to discussions about divorce as a potential option.
Just last month, another insider disclosed that Affleck had purchased a new residence in Los Angeles, a property that set him back over $20 million.
This move could symbolize a new chapter for the actor as he navigates his complicated feelings.
Affleck’s past marriage to Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares three children—Violet, Serafina, and Samuel—adds another layer to this unfolding drama.
Interestingly, the kids have reportedly formed a bond with Lopez and her twins, Max and Emma, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Blending families can be challenging, but Lopez seems optimistic about the process.
In a November 2022 interview with Vogue, Lopez discussed the delicate nature of merging their families, emphasizing the importance of handling emotions with care.
Her vision was clear: she wanted to ensure that her children and Affleck’s kids could support one another, providing different perspectives and nurturing relationships that would benefit everyone involved.
Despite the evident tension between Lopez and Affleck, she has made an effort to attend important family events, such as the graduations of Violet and Samuel.
This commitment shows her dedication to fostering a positive environment for all the children, even in the face of personal challenges.
