Exes Ben Affleck & Jen Garner Spotted In Heated Argument After 'Batman' Star Purchased Mansion With New Lover J. Lo
Ben Affleck has some explaining to do! The 49-year-old Academy Award winner puffed on his cigarette fiercely while appearing to fight with his ex-wife Jen Garner, 49, on the Los Angeles streets over the weekend. The exes appeared to be locked in a heated conversation outside her car on Sunday.
Their argument occurred just hours after it was revealed that Ben and his on-again girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, bought a $50 million home together.
In photos obtained by Daily Mail, Ben looked stressed as he lighted his cigarette and ferociously moved his arms around. At one point during their heated conversation, he seemed to get frustrated. His annoyance was written all over his face.
Once he saw the paparazzi were there capturing the whole thing, Ben stuffed his mouth with his cigarette and attempted to keep calm.
As for Jen, she didn't look rattled by her ex-husband's outburst. The 13 Going On 30 actress appeared to keep her cool and let Ben do most of the talking.
Jen — who is the mother of his three children — kept it casual for their meetup-turned-argument. Wearing a long denim skirt and beige-toned sweater, the star paired her daytime look with a pair of $800 Gucci sneakers.
If the exes wanted to keep their drama a secret, they didn't do a good job. Shutterbugs eagerly snapped away as they appeared to fight. However, this is far from their first public argument.
The former Mr. and Mrs. also had a tense conversation in front of photographers last year.
