BEN AFFLECK LOOKS 'GRIM-FACED' AS HE 'CLUTCHES SIGNATURE PROP' AMID JENNIFER LOPEZ DIVORCE RUMOURS
Ben Affleck was "grim-faced" when spotted out while rumours about an imminent divorce from Jennifer Lopez continue to spiral.
Body language expert Judi James told The Mirror : "With his bag slung over his shoulder, Ben looks grim-faced here, clutching his new signature prop of a drinks cup in one hand. The raised chin and the apparent squaring of his jaw line give him a determined look here, with his eyes staring straight ahead."
The actor was dressed in a smart black suit and white shirt, forgoing a tie and carrying a large satchel bag over one shoulder, with an iced coffee in his other hand. His expression seemed far from cheerful.

An insider revealed to InTouch magazine: "The writing is on the wall - it's over. They're headed for a divorce - and for once, [Ben's] not to blame! They'll never stop loving each other, but she can't control him, and he can't change her. There's no way it could have lasted."
In addition to the recent turbulence in their relationship, they've hit a rocky patch before. They've been hitched for just shy of two years, but have spent decades harboring feelings for each other.
In her brief musical film This Is Me... Now: A Love Story, J. Lo revealed that their romance was intense from the get-go. They appeared quite serious back in early '00s, but then had a dramatic falling out. Fast forward two decades, they reconnected and decided to say 'I do'.
Adding fuel to the fire, Jennifer appears to be embracing the drama. She liked an Instagram post which stated, "You cannot build a healthy relationship with somebody" who "lacks integrity and emotional safety."
Despite the swirling rumours, the couple are sending mixed signals via their wedding rings. Just a day after Ben was photographed without his wedding band, he was seen making a very public display with the ring firmly back on his finger while hanging out with his son Samuel. J.Lo was spotted hiding her ring while at a fashion show in Europe. It's hard to determine the truth as the two stars continue to confused fans with this back-and-forth.
Recent reports suggest that issues with J.Lo have led him to seek out a new residence, securing a grand mansion to rent near his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. The bachelor pad home is a huge mansion with a rent hitting $100,000 per month. The 10,000 square foot home includes private tennis court and pool.
It's close location to his ex seems to have come in handy as the pair were spotted together. They took a stroll, meeting up with Ben's mother as the split rumours continued to unfold.
