Ben Affleck goes for dog walk after spending first Valentine’s Day as a single man following JLo divorce

Ben Affleck goes for dog walk after spending first Valentine’s Day as a single man following JLo divorce

Ben Affleck was spotted walking two German Shepherd dogs in his neighborhood over the weekend.

The Argo director, 52, wore grey pinstriped pants with a white shirt and white jacket.

Affleck adopted one of the dogs earlier this month, but was seen with two on Sunday. 

Meant to be security dogs for his family and property, the Academy Award winner is taking the dogs’ training seriously. 

Previously, he was seen with his son Samuel, 12,  and two dog trainers from Trident Elite Protection Dogs. 

The outing comes two days after Valentine’s Day – his first as a single man following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.

Along with Samuel, Affleck also shares Violet, 19, and Fin, 16, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52.

The duo — who were married from 2005 until 2015 — grew closer than they’ve ever been since their divorce while he was divorcing JLo.

News of their close bond comes after Affleck recently settled his divorce from his second wife, Jennifer Lopez, 55.

‘Particularly since Ben’s divorce from [Lopez] and with the LA fires and everything going on,’ Affleck and Garner ‘have found themselves leaning on each other more than ever’ a source told Page Six.

Both Affleck and Garner’s homes in Brentwood were spared in the Palisades Fire, though Affleck was among those who had to evacuate, as the blaze crept dangerously close to his home.

He raced to Garner’s home after being evacuated, as the duo live a short distance from each other.

The sighting with his dogs  comes after the very first images from his action-packed movie The Accountant 2 were released.

The movie star was seen holding a long gun as he looked ready to kill someone. While pictured alongside co-star Jon Bernthal, Ben appeared ruggedly handsome as he prepared for a battle.

The film takes place eight years after the events that took place in the first installment of The Accountant.

While pictured alongside co-star Jon Bernthal, Ben looked ruggedly handsome as he prepared for a battle.

The plot centers around Ben’s character Christian Wolff and his brother Brax, played by Jon.

Christian, a forensic accountant, tries to help solve the murder of a treasury agent, working with brother Brax despite their estrangement.

The Accountant 2 will be released on April 25, 2025.

The film also stars J.K. Simmons, Danielle Pineda, Grant Harvey and Cynthia Addai-Robinson.

The Accountant 2 is directed by Gavin O’Connor and written by Bill Dubuque – both of whom who also served as director and writer for The Accountant.

Ben produced The Accountant 2 – along with childhood friend and actor Matt Damon, in addition to Lynette Howell Taylor and Mark Williams.

Fans took to the comments section to gush about the movie after the trailer dropped – despite it being nine years after the first movie dropped.

‘We all waited for this movie to happen for 9 years and here we are,’ one wrote.

‘The Batman and Punisher team up we didn’t know we needed,’ referring to Ben and Jon’s previous roles as the two action stars.

Another called it an ‘underrated’ film, noting that they watch it all the time.

One person joked that they were already waiting in line to watch the film.

Many congratulated Ben on his acting abilities, noting that was ‘incredible’ in the first one.
