Ben Affleck looked strained as he arrived at his LA office this week amid claims his ex-wife Jennifer Garner wants him to ‘grow up.’
The Oscar winner, 52, pulled a series of faces as he drove into his Hollywood office in his new Electric Cadillac Escalade.
The pensive star sported a shaggy beard and wore a grey fleece jacket as he prepared to start his day.
This comes amid claims Garner, 53, is unimpressed with Affleck’s handling of his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, 55.
Garner and Affleck – who share three children – were married from 2005-2018 and he rekindled his romance with Lopez in 2021. They split after two years of marriage last summer.
A source told In Touch Weekly: ‘Jen has a huge amount of sway with Ben these days, so she does feel quite obligated to police his behavior, particularly when it comes to the way he’s been treating J. Lo.

‘He’s been so impatient with her and actually quite ungrateful, at least in Jen’s view.’
On January 7, Affleck – who was visited by the FBI on January 12 amid an unauthorized drone investigation – fled his house to briefly stay at his ex-wife Garner’s $7.8M four-bedroom Brentwood Park home amid the LA fires.
His Brentwood home was spared from the blaze.
Garner has been residing in a $53,271-a-month home just blocks away from her ex-husband whilst renovations were completed on her $8 million Brentwood farmhouse,
Officials have confirmed 27 deaths, over 13,600 destroyed structures, thousands remain evacuated, and economic loss is estimated to cost between $135B-$150B.
Celebrities who’ve lost their homes in the blaze include Mel Gibson, Paris Hilton, Jeff Bridges, Anna Faris, Cary Elwes, Diane Warren, Anthony Hopkins, John Goodman, Eugene Levy, Steve Guttenberg, Jennifer Grey, Ricki Lake, Matt Damon, Miles Teller, Billy Crystal, and Adam Brody, and Heidi Montag.
The two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker’s divorce from estranged second wife Jennifer Lopez might be officially finalized on February 20, but their artistic partnership lives on.
Ben produced Bill Condon’s Kiss of the Spider Woman remake starring the 55-year-old pop diva, Tonatiuh, and Diego Luna – which will have its world premiere at Eccles Theatre in Park City, UT next Sunday during the Sundance Film Festival.

When Parade asked Jennifer on January 8 if the big-screen version of the 1992 West End musical will be on par with Wicked, she replied: ‘It’s a beautiful movie, but it’s very different than Wicked.
‘It feels in a way more indie, but it’s impactful and important and relevant. I’m very excited for people to see it.’
Lopez took on three different characters – Leni Lamaison, Marta, and Spider Woman – in the upcoming drama set in an Argentinian prison in 1981, which has yet to secure distribution.
The couple formerly known as ‘Bennifer’ still need to sell their $68M 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom megamansion in Beverly Hills aka Crestview Manor, which they originally paid $60.85M for in May 2023.
