Ben Affleck and Daughter Enjoy Movie Night Amid Divorce

Ben Affleck is reportedly focusing on family matters following the recent filing for divorce from Jennifer Lopez. The actor was seen on Thursday evening enjoying a movie night with his 15-year-old daughter, Seraphina, from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner. Affleck, 52, appeared serious as he engaged with his phone, dressed casually in an unbuttoned blue shirt and tan pants. This outing occurred shortly after he and Garner were spotted in New Haven, Connecticut, preparing to move their eldest daughter, Violet, into her Yale University dorm. The divorce filing by Lopez, which took place just days ago, has been attributed to irreconcilable differences, with the date of separation noted as April 26. This decision comes after months of speculation regarding their relationship status. Interestingly, Lopez filed for divorce on the same day they celebrated their wedding anniversary, a move described by sources as a way for her to take a stand. The couple had initially tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022, rekindling their romance after a previous engagement from 2002 to 2004. While Lopez has maintained a low profile since the filing, Affleck was seen without his wedding ring shortly after the news broke. Reports suggest that he has come to terms with the reality of their relationship, which he previously described as a “fever dream.” Meanwhile, Lopez has expressed feelings of humiliation over the breakup, especially since Affleck was the one who initiated their reunion in 2021. The complexities of their relationship have been documented by Lopez in her 2022 film, “Greatest Love Story Never Told,” where both stars acknowledged the challenges of learning to compromise in their romance.
