Ben Affleck looks tense exiting The Accountant 2 meeting after Jennifer Lopez says she’s ‘ready to date again’

Ben Affleck looked on edge as he arrived at a press junket for his upcoming film The Accountant 2.

The Argo star, 52, wore the same off-white knit blazer that he’s been spotted wearing at SXSW and on a recent walk with his son Samuel, 12.

The father of three with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52, wore a white ʙuттon down shirt and light blue pants with a brown belt.

Sunglᴀsses adorned his famous face as his mouth was locked in an expression of tension.

Ben’s sighting come just days after his most recent ex-wife Jennifer Lopez, 55, admitted she was ready to date again. 

JLo has said she wants to find romance again after spending months with her family and friends to ‘heal her broken heart.’

‘Jennifer wants to be in love again,’ a source told DailyMail.com.

Though she has been linked to Yellowstone actor Kevin Costner after they spent time at the iconic western apparel store Kemo Sabe in Aspen Colorado over Christmas, she is interested in another Yellowstone type.

‘She had a crush on Rip Wheeler from Yellowstone and wants a guy like that, someone who can have her back and make sure she is OK. She wants to be put first and made to feel special,’ the pal noted.

‘Her life is a lot, she needs a man who can handle all that and still love her unconditionally like the way Rip loves Beth Dutton.’

In an odd twist, Ben is friends with the actor who plays Rip: Cole Hauser. 

They starred together in Good Will Hunting. This week Cole faced heartbreak when his father Wings Hauser died at age 77.

Meanwhile, a source for Page Six reported that Ben has been contacting the Hustlers star.

‘He’s even been reaching out to Jennifer [Lopez] again recently,’ the source said adding that both Garner and Lopez have no intention of getting back together with Ben.

‘The two Jennifers are actually friends. They bonded over co-parenting their kids… Who wants the guy? You think he’s the prize? No way. It’s like, “Next!”‘ the source said, describing the actor as a ‘diva.’

‘He’s the one who likes attention,’ the insider revealed to the publication, adding that he ‘love-bombs’ and ‘gets bored and leaves.’

Lopez is currently filming the romantic comedy Office Romance with Ted Lᴀsso actor Brett Goldstein, 44, who previously admitted to having a crush on the iconic singer, dancer and actress.

‘After a very tough start to 2025, Jennifer can’t wait to start a new project and it certainly helps that she will be working with a very handsome and smart star like Brett,’ a source told DailyMail.com. 

‘He is one H๏τ ticket and a real class act with talent to back it up – he not only acts but he writes amazing scripts. He is like the younger, better, British version of Ben. She thinks he is very cute.

‘It will be a reminder to Ben that she is still H๏τ property in Hollywood and how can that not make her feel great?’ the source noted. ‘She is 55 and is still a box office dynamo. This will just be another reminder of that.’

It doesn’t hurt that Affleck was a Ted Lᴀsso fan, either.

‘Ben knows who Brett is, he is plenty aware. Brett is younger and smarter than Ben. It will irk him for sure,’ the source said.

Meanwhile, a source told DailyMail.com that Ben is looking back on his relationship with Ana de Armas, 36. They started dating in March 2020 and ended things in January 2021. Seen at 2025 SXSW
