While Ben Affleck, 52, may always seem miserable, there’s a good reason for that, and it’s not because he’s “miserable.”
However, his discouraged walks do have to do with his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, 55, whom he is currently in the process of divorcing.
The two, who met and briefly got engaged in 2004 before calling it off, tied the knot in July 2022, but announced their split just this summer after just two years.
Since the split, Affleck has been photographed around Los Angeles looking glum, but a source close to the Good Will Hunting actor insists it’s not because he’s truly unhappy.
“Ben is not miserable,” the source told DailyMail.com exclusively.
The actor and director, however, looked a little dejected while, across town, his ex Jennifer Lopez put on a spectacular show on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of Wicked.

“The reason he can always rock it when he’s out and about is because photographers are constantly asking about ‘J.Lo this’ and ‘J.Lo that,'” the source continued, adding that he “overcomes the constant questions about his .’
What the filmmaker hopes most is to simply move forward.
“He just wants to move on… hence the divorce,” the source told DailyMail.com.
“This whole divorce is dragging on too, which has him a little stressed out.”
The source also told DailyMail.com that Ben hopes he will no longer be asked questions about his ex.
“Ben is glad she’s focusing on herself,” the source shared. “He’s happy that she’s on the red carpet and looking glamorous.”
However, since their split, it seems like some things have remained amicable, at least as far as the public press is concerned.
In a recent interview, Affleck praised Lopez’s role in the upcoming sports drama, Unstoppable, which he produced.
“He just wants to move on… hence the divorce,” the source told DailyMail.com. “This whole divorce is also dragging on and has him a little stressed out.”

López will play Judy Robles in the biopic, the mother of wrestler Anthony Robles, who the film is about.
“Jennifer is spectacular,” said Affleck Entertainment tonight about his ex-wife’s role in the film.
A few days later, Lopez apparently responded to Affleck by telling him MY! News on the red carpet during the film’s UK premiere who would describe all the cast members as “spectacular and wonderful”.
“I would describe the whole cast and everyone behind the scenes,” hitmaker Jenny From The Block told the outlet.
Since the split, Lopez has been hitting red carpets in some seriously chic outfits, like the bold, eye-catching dress she wore to the premiere of Wicked this weekend, and the busty, low-cut black minidress on her recent trip to London. .
In a recent interview for Interview Magazine Directed by comedian Nikki Glaser and published last month, it talked about her recent divorce and how she was doing.
The two started talking about how to deal with the hard things in life, and that’s when Lopez started talking about what she was going through.
“You have to be complete if you want something more complete,” Lopez told Glaser.
“Jennifer is spectacular,” Affleck told Entertainment Tonight about his ex-wife’s role in the film.
“You have to be whole if you want something more whole,” Lopez told comedian Nikki Glaser in a new interview.
‘You have to be good on your own. I thought I had learned that, but I didn’t. And then this summer I had to say, “I need to go away and be alone. “I want to prove to myself that I can do it.”
In response, the comedian asked Lopez if that was a “difficult” process, to which she responded that it absolutely was.
“It feels alone, unknown, scary. He feels sad. He feels desperate. But when you sit in those feelings and say, ‘These things are not going to kill me,’ it’s like I’m actually able to feel joy and happiness for myself,” Lopez admitted.
‘Being in a relationship doesn’t define me. I can’t look for happiness in other people. I have to have happiness within me. I used to say I’m a happy person, but I was still looking for something that someone else could fill, and it was like, “No, I’m actually good.”
