Jilted J Lo Has 'Gone From Peeved to Pity' Over Ben Affleck's New Mohawk Look: 'She's Convinced He's Suffering a Mid-Life Crisis'

Jennifer Lopez is said to be fuming at estranged ex Ben Affleck, but RadarOnline.com can reveal her rage turned to pity when she caught a glimpse of the actor's new "mid-life crisis" biker look.
The 52-year-old Gone Girl actor was spotted riding a motorcycle around Los Angeles sporting a new look complete with a black motorcycle jacket, aviator sunglasses and a helmet with a face shield.
When she saw his new look, complete with a buzzcut faux-hawk hairstyle, J Lo felt he was suffering from a midlife crisis and was in serious need of an intervention, according to our sources.
An insider explained: "J Lo's convinced this sudden transformation is a sign he's not doing well and it's her belief that he hasn't been himself for some time.
"Why else would he toss aside a wonderful marriage and pull all these cruel moves like ignoring their anniversary, her birthday and the commitments they shared together including their beautiful, blended family.
"It blows her mind! But the longer time goes on, the less she's blaming herself for the mess she believes Ben alone has created."
Although the This Is Me...Now star was said to be furious at Ben for supposedly dumping her, the source explained J Lo "seeing him with this new bad-boy motorcycle look has her feeling sorry for him".
The source said: "In her view he seems lost and kind of pathetic right now. It's obvious to her that this is a cry for help, but her hands are tied because he's totally ghosted her and isn't returning her calls."
But the Good Will Hunting actor isn't bothered by J Lo's spiteful jabs, according to our source, who revealed: "He's well aware his new look is not her style, but that's not his problem anymore.
"She tried to control everything about him for so long, he's just excited to have his life back and a fresh start ahead of him."

Ben packed up his belongings and moved out of the couple's $60million Beverly Hills mansion as divorce rumors ramped up, just weeks before they spent their second anniversary on separate coasts.
The insider spilled: "The whole thing blindsided J. Lo. She still doesn't understand what went wrong."
Soon afterward, they listed their marital home for sale – with a $68million price tag – and Ben bought himself a $20.5million mansion in the ritzy Pacific Palisades neighborhood.
Another source familiar with the fallout told RadarOnline.com: "He's very happy to have a new home that fits him and his needs a whole lot better than the one he and J Lo bought together."
The actor's struggles with addiction were also rumored to have been a factor in the failed relationship. A source previously claimed: "The marriage was incredibly overwhelming – J Lo lives a very glam lifestyle, and he was often faced with temptation."
The pair tied the knot in July 2022 and had a wedding celebration the following month.
