Ben Affleck recently made headlines due to growing speculation about a possible reunion with his former wife, Jennifer Garner, following his divorce settlement with Jennifer Lopez. The rumors intensified after “flirtatious” pictures of the Batman star and the Elektra actress went viral, sparking widespread discussion online.
Amid these reunion rumors, Ben Affleck was spotted spending time with his children, Violet, 19, and Fin, 16, during an outing over the weekend in Los Angeles. The Gone Girl alum appeared relaxed as he enjoyed quality time with his kids, but one particular moment from the outing drew significant attention.
According to reports by the Daily Mail, Ben Affleck was seen forcefully spitting out a mass of saliva and phlegm while strolling with his children. The Good Will Hunting star made sure to turn his face away, ensuring he did not hit his son as he “hawked a loogie” onto the pavement.
Despite the unflattering moment, Ben Affleck maintained his signature casual style, donning a grey full-zip sweater over a plain white T-shirt, indigo-washed jeans, and Brunello Cucinelli leather alpine hiking boots. His appearance exuded effortless cool, but it was his actions rather than his outfit that captured public attention.
In addition to his personal life making headlines, Ben Affleck has been busy with professional commitments. The Argo actor recently attended the Texas screening of The Accountant 2, a sequel to the 2016 film. The highly anticipated movie is scheduled for release on April 26, drawing excitement from fans of the action-packed thriller.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez, who recently finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck, is preparing for her next big project. The On The Floor singer is set to star in an upcoming film alongside Brett Goldstein, further cementing her status as a Hollywood powerhouse.
As for Jennifer Garner, the 13 Going on 30 actress has turned her focus toward philanthropy, using social media to raise funds for California wildfire survivors. While Ben Affleck’s personal and professional life continues to make waves, speculation about his relationship with Jennifer Garner remains a trending topic.
