In the photos, Ben, 51, headed over to the luxury restaurant Giorgio Baldi, which is often full of famous faces.
The star dressed smartly for his dinner out, in a navy shirt and beige chinos.
Finishing his look, Ben opted for brown boots and a wool blazer.
The actor was currently filming for The Accountant 2, for which he had to shave his beard.
Ben seemed to have stuck to the new look, with shorter hair and only a tiny bit of stubble.
Despite the promise of a good meal, Ben looked less than happy as he walked to the restaurant, remaining completely straight-faced.
Absent from the scene was his wife, Jennifer Lopez, 54, amid rumors they’re headed for divorce.
JETSETTER
While Ben enjoyed a solo dinner close to home, his wife was rocking the red carpet.
JLo posed for the cameras for her new film, Atlas, at several different events.
For her first outing in Hollywood, Jennifer showed off her figure in a tiny white corset top paired with a black mermaid skirt.
The star was dripping in sparkling jewelry, and flashed her wedding ring as she placed one hand on her hip.
Next, JLo rushed over to Mexico, stunning the crowds in a sheer, plunging white gown.
Ben didn’t attend any of his wife’s events, despite the fact that Jennifer kicked off the premiere on their Hollywood home turf.
WORK FIRST
Ben’s absence from his wife’s big red carpet moment comes after insiders claimed they lived very different lives.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck relationship timeline
JLo and Ben were first linked together in 2002 and became engaged later that year. However, they called off the wedding just two years later. They rekindled their romance in 2021 and finally got hitched in 2022. Here is a timeline of their love story:
A source claimed that Ben moved out of their shared home “several weeks ago,” and now the couple lives apart.
“They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour,” they explained about Ben’s decision to move out.
A second insider said that the duo was facing major marital struggles and could go for weeks without spending time together.
“It’s over; they’re headed for a divorce and for once [Ben’s] not to blame. He’s focusing on his work and kids now.
“They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted,” the source told InTouch.
