Ben Affleck appears unexpectedly happy in LA amid intensifying Jennifer Lopez divorce drama

Ben Affleck appeared unusually cheerful as he arrived at his Beverly Hills office on Thursday.

The “Jersey Girl” actor, who is often criticized for his “resting bitch face,” was seen smiling as he entered his workplace dressed in a suit and carrying a large black duffle bag.

He looked notably happy on the same day that an insider revealed to Page Six that Jennifer Lopez’s close associates, particularly her longtime manager Benny Medina, have never been fond of him.

“The two of them can’t stand each other. They don’t get along and there’s still bad blood,” Page Six reported. 

Medina was Jennifer Lopez’s manager in the early 2000s but left her team after she became engaged to Ben Affleck in 2002. It is believed that their relationship influenced Medina's departure from Lopez’s management.

After Lopez and Affleck broke up in 2004, Medina and Lopez rekindled their professional relationship and have worked together since then.

Another insider mentioned to Page Six that, apart from Lopez’s mother, no one in her circle has a positive opinion of Affleck.

Although Affleck appeared cheerful this week, a recent source revealed that this summer has been challenging for him due to his ongoing divorce proceedings with Lopez.

“He’s just trying to stay focused and make every day as good as possible,” a source told People Friday.

Rumors of a breakup have been circulating since May when Lopez, 55, attended the Met Gala and her “Atlas” premiere alone, while Affleck, 51, remained in Los Angeles, reportedly because he was occupied with “The Accountant 2.”
