Ben Affleck is spotted after spending time with Jennifer Lopez at their LA house… before receiving a visit from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner
Ben Affleck spent a few hours at his former home with his estranged wife Jennifer Lopez, 54, on Saturday.
When he left a few hours later, he had a somber look on his face as he drove to his $100,000-a-month rental home in Brentwood.
The Air star, 51, wore a checked shirt and scrolled through his phone as he was stopped in traffic and at traffic lights.
Not long after Affleck returned home, his ex-wife Jennifer Garner was seen driving to his house and letting herself in using a code on the security keypad.
The Alias star, 52, had to open her car door to enter the code, which revealed she was wearing a white sweater and had her hair pulled back with a black headband.

Ben and Lopez are dogged by divorce speculation as they look unhappy and tense and their $60 million Bel Air mansion popped up on real estate sites.
Recently, reports have emerged that the couple is on the verge of divorce.
Under a cloud of suspicion about the state of their relationship, Affleck reportedly visited Lopez at their Bel Air home this weekend.
There are also claims that the couple are ‘living separate lives’ amid their rumored marital problems.
For weeks it has been claimed that the couple’s marriage was on the rocks after the pair were not photographed together in public for 47 days.
What followed was a series of awkward public outings, with body language experts concluding that the pair appeared ‘unhappy’ in each other’s company.
Now it is claimed that although the couple are not ‘officially divorced’, they have been spending time apart and have been looking at buying separate homes.
And Garner, who was married to Affleck from 2005 to 2018 and shares three children with him, has been there for her ex.

In fact, she’s been there for Ben so much that sources say her current boyfriend, John Miller, is getting tired of how involved she is in her efforts to help him.
“Of course it bothers John that Jen is so hyper-focused on her ex-husband,” an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com.
“He cares deeply about Ben and sympathizes with what he’s going through with Jennifer, but that doesn’t mean Jen should be the one to fix her ex-husband’s issues with his current wife. That makes no sense to anyone.
“Jen is such a caring and wonderful wife and mother and there is nothing but a deep friendship and bond between her and Ben.
‘John wants nothing more than for Ben to do well, but it’s not his girlfriend’s responsibility to play babysitter for him.
‘Ben has to find that out for himself and let his wife find out. It’s not Jen’s responsibility, and he told her this.”
Miller and Garner have been dating since 2018 and a second source said he’s just trying to stay out of it because it’s none of his business.

“John stays out of it, he knows it’s none of his business so he stays away from it because who wants to talk about his ex more than you,” they said. “But Jen can’t escape it because it’s everywhere.
‘It has no negative impact on her current relationship or her life. She just wants to protect her children, and being there for Ben if and when he needs it gives her the opportunity to do that.”
They added that Affleck is aware of being a “burden” and tries to avoid discussing his marital breakdown with his ex-wife, with whom he has children Violet, 18, Fin (formerly Seraphina), 15, and Samuel, 12 vols.
“Jen is keeping an eye on it all and she has told Ben over and over again that they can talk about anything and that she will be there for him to vent,” the source said. “But Ben never wants to burden her and instead will just talk to her about the kids and what the kids need.”
