Ben Affleck-Jennifer Lopez divorce: Actor rocks new look ahead of Thanksgiving, pic goes viral

Ben Affleck was spotted with a new look. A photograph of the actor sporting a bushy beard this week when he was seen driving around Los Angeles, California has went viral on social media after his divorce with Jennifer Lopez.

Ben Affleck was seen wearing a blue sweater with the sleeves rolled up as he smoked a cigarette and when it comes to facial hair, the actor never seems to stick to one style for too long. One minute he's clean-shaven, the next he's rocking a full beard.

The windows of his car were rolled down, showing that he was alone and not hiding anything from the public.

Ben Affleck's new look goes viral after divorce with Jennifer Lopez

The new bushy beard look of Ben Affleck has taken the internet by storm after his divorce with Jennifer Lopez. The actor's outing came ahead of his first Thanksgiving since he parted ways with Lopez.

However, it is not yet clear whether the 'Gone Girl' star was just in the mood for a more rugged look or if he grew the hair for a particular role.

In October, the 'Argo' actor was seen with noticeably darker facial hair while stepping out in Santa Monica, California. His freshly dyed black beard and mustache were in stark contrast to the rougher, salt-and-pepper look that he'd been spotted with in recent weeks. He was all smiles sporting his crisp new facial hair, opting for a business casual look as he picked up his 15-year-old, Seraphina Affleck.

Ben Affleck-Jennifer Lopez Divorce

Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben on August 20 in a Los Angeles County Superior Court. The singer and actress listed their separation date as April 26, 2024, which happened to be a few months before their second wedding anniversary.

She also filed pro per, which means she filed by herself and without an attorney. Jennifer cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their divorce.

They all rode in the same car, with Jennifer sitting in the front seat. The actress and singer shares twins, Emme and Max, with ex-husband and salsa icon Marc Anthony and Ben shares Violet Anne, Seraphina Rose and Samuel with his ex-wife and actress, Jennifer Garner. Jennifer and Ben were then spotted at their children's school.

Before the two went their own ways, Jennifer and Ben were working on a film together, Unstoppable. He recently praised Jennifer and the rest of the cast for their work and said Jennifer was "spectacular." He said: "Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel [Jerome], and Bobby Cannavale, all were really passionate about this film. Jennifer is spectacular."

When she attended the London premiere, Ben was nowhere in sight but she was asked about her ex. In a video, which quickly went viral, a reporter from Entertainment Tonight asked the actress how she felt about her ex-partner’s producing in the film and working by his side.

Jennifer smiled before she answered that she enjoyed working with "all of the cast and everybody behind the scenes."

Jennifer Lopez was also back in spotlight due to her tumultuous past with US rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is lodged in prison on account of sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
