Ben Affleck spent a few hours at his former home with his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez, 54, on Saturday.
When he left a few hours later, he had a somber expression on his face as he drove to his $100,000-a-month rental mansion in Brentwood.
The Air star, 51, wore a plaid shirt and scrolled through his phone while stopped in traffic and at traffic lights.
Not long after Affleck arrived home, his ex-wife Jennifer Garner was seen pulling up to his house and entering with a code on the security keypad.
The Alias star, 52, had to open her car door to enter the code which revealed she was wearing a white sweater and had her hair up with a black headband.

Ben and Lopez have been dogged by divorce speculation as they have been seen looking unhappy and tense and their $60 million Bel Air mansion has appeared on real estate sites.
Recently, information has been published that the couple is on the verge of divorce.
Under a cloud of speculation about the status of their relationship, Affleck reportedly visited Lopez at her home in Bel Air this weekend.
There are also claims that the couple are “living separate lives” amid their rumored marital problems.
For weeks it has been claimed that the couple’s marriage was in ruins after the couple had not been photographed together in public for 47 days.
What followed was a series of awkward public outings, in which body language experts deduced that the couple seemed “unhappy” in each other’s company.
It is now claimed that while the couple are not ‘officially separated’, they have been spending time apart and thinking about buying separate homes.
And Garner, who was married to Affleck from 2005 to 2018 and shares three children with him, has been there for her ex.

In fact, she’s been there for Ben so much that sources say her current boyfriend, John Miller, is getting tired of how involved she is in trying to help him.
“Of course John is upset that Jen is so focused on her ex-husband,” a source exclusively told DailyMail.com.
“He cares deeply about Ben and sympathizes with what Jennifer is going through, but that doesn’t mean Jen should be the one to fix her ex-husband’s problems with his current wife. That doesn’t make sense to anyone.
‘Jen is such a loving and wonderful woman and mother and there is nothing but a deep friendship and bond between her and Ben.
‘John wants nothing more than for Ben to be well, but it’s not his girlfriend’s responsibility to babysit him.
Ben has to figure that out on his own and his wife has to take care of it. It’s not Jen’s responsibility and he has told her that.
Miller and Garner have been dating since 2018 and a second source said he’s just trying to stay out of it because it’s none of his business.

Ben and Jennifer were seen dining together at BOA Steakhouse in Los Angeles on May 18, 2024.
Garner and Affleck were married from 2005 to 2018 and share three children, pictured here in 2011.
“John stays out of it, he knows it’s none of his business, so he stays away from all that, because who wants to talk about their ex more than necessary,” they said. ‘But Jen can’t escape it because she’s everywhere.
‘It doesn’t affect your current relationship or life in a negative way. ‘She just wants to protect her children, and be there for Ben when he needs it, she allows him to do that.’
They added that Affleck is aware of being a “burden” and tries to avoid talking about his marital breakdown with his ex-wife, with whom he shares children Violet, 18, Fin (formerly Seraphina), 15, and Samuel, 12.
“Jen is monitoring everything and has told Ben time and time again that they can talk about anything and she will be there for him to vent,” the source said. “But Ben never wants to be a burden on her and instead he just talks to her about the kids and what they need.”
