In a dramatic turn of events, the 49-year-old Oscar winner, Ben Affleck, was spotted engaged in a tense conversation with his former spouse, Jen Garner, 49, on the streets of Los Angeles over the weekend.
The scene unfolded as they appeared to be embroiled in a heated discussion near her vehicle on a Sunday.
This altercation came shortly after reports emerged revealing that Ben and his rekindled flame, Jennifer Lopez, had acquired a luxurious $50 million residence together.
Photographs from the incident captured by Daily Mail depicted Ben looking visibly agitated as he smoked a cigarette and gesticulated fervently.
At one point, his frustration seemed palpable, evident in his facial expressions.
Upon noticing the presence of paparazzi documenting the exchange, Ben attempted to maintain composure by discreetly concealing his cigarette in his mouth.
Meanwhile, Jen appeared unperturbed by her ex-husband's display of emotion, maintaining a composed demeanor throughout their encounter.
The “13 Going On 30” star adopted a casual attire, sporting a lengthy denim skirt paired with a beige sweater and $800 Gucci sneakers.
Despite the couple's apparent efforts to keep their confrontation private, the public nature of their dispute did not go unnoticed, with photographers capturing the intense moment.
This incident marks another instance of public discord between the former partners, following a similar occurrence documented by the media the previous year.
Coincidentally, the timing of the heated exchange aligns with a significant milestone in Ben's relationship with J.
Lo.
Over the weekend, the erstwhile engaged pair was observed exploring their newly acquired abode in the upscale Bel-Air neighborhood of Los Angeles—an expansive 20,000 square foot mansion designed to accommodate their combined family, which includes five children from their respective past relationships.
Ben shares three children—daughters Violet, 16, and Seraphina, 13, and son Samuel, 10—with Jen, while J.
Lo has twins, Emme and Max, from her former marriage to Marc Anthony.
The recent real estate acquisition symbolizes the couple's ongoing efforts to blend their families seamlessly.
The high-profile duo reignited their romance in April 2021, shortly after J.
Lo called off her engagement with Alex Rodriguez, and have since been inseparable.
