Ben Affleck Debuts New Look Amidst Divorce Rumors with Jennifer Lopez

Ben Affleck, the renowned "Justice League" actor, has caught the attention of fans with a fresh new hairstyle as his reported divorce from Jennifer Lopez looms. The 51-year-old actor was recently spotted in Los Angeles riding his electric motorcycle, sporting a shaved faux-hawk haircut. Donning a black leather jacket, a Red Hot Chili Peppers T-shirt, gray jeans, and black boots, Affleck completed his look with aviator sunglasses and a black backpack. Interestingly, his new appearance bears a striking resemblance to Robert De Niro's iconic character, Travis Bickle, from Martin Scorsese's psychological thriller "Taxi Driver."

A fan on Twitter even took notice and posted a side-by-side photo of Affleck and Bickle, captioned, "Ben Affleck remake of Travis Bickle." This comparison further fueled the intrigue surrounding Affleck's new style. Adding to the speculation, Affleck appeared to be without his wedding ring during the outing, further stoking rumors of a potential divorce.

Divorce rumors surrounding Affleck and Lopez, both 55 years old, have been circulating since May. However, the couple has not made any official announcements regarding the state of their relationship. Recent reports from TMZ suggest that they have stopped communicating in person or over the phone, which has slowed down their supposed plans for divorce. Instead of hiring lawyers, the couple, who reportedly have a prenuptial agreement, is said to be relying on their business managers to navigate the financial aspects of the divorce.

According to sources, the only remaining asset to be divided between Affleck and Lopez is their $68 million Beverly Hills mansion, which was officially listed for sale last month. The high-profile pair is expected to wait until a settlement is reached before filing for divorce. Only then will they seek final approval from a judge.

Throughout the ongoing divorce rumors, Affleck and Lopez have remained tight-lipped, despite spending a significant portion of their summer apart. While Lopez traveled to Italy and France in June, Affleck stayed in Los Angeles. The couple was even on separate coasts to celebrate their second wedding anniversary and Lopez's 55th birthday last month.

Amidst the marital turmoil, Affleck has reportedly been seeking support from his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, age 52. However, it is believed that Garner has stepped away from the situation, as the drama between Affleck and Lopez is said to have rekindled memories of her own divorce from Affleck. The pair, who were married for 10 years, had three children together before their split. Affleck and Lopez eventually reconciled and tied the knot in 2022.

As the public eagerly awaits official confirmation and further details surrounding the rumored divorce, representatives for both Affleck and Lopez have yet to respond to media inquiries.
