In the middle of Jennifer Lopez’s recent disclosures regarding their divorce, Ben Affleck has been spotted back at work. On Wednesday, Oct. 9, the actor was seen on a film set in Los Angeles, as reported by People.
His attire for the day featured an orange plaid jacket that can be described as “pumpkin-spice chic,” paired with a simple dark gray T-shirt and jeans. The specific project Affleck was working on remains unknown, but People indicates that he has several films in development, many of which are through his and Matt Damon’s production company, Artists Equity.
This sighting of Affleck coincides with Lopez’s recent interview, where she openly discussed their difficult and highly publicized divorce. In her conversation with Nikki Glaser for Interview magazine, the “Jenny From the Block” singer shared that this second separation from Affleck, whom she had envisioned as her forever partner, nearly “took me out for good.”
Despite the pain, she approached the experience with a philosophical mindset, viewing it as a lesson learned. “I was thinking about this time in my life, and I’m like, ‘That’s not what I thought it was going to turn out like,'” she reflected on the split. “And then I thought, ‘No, this is exactly where I needed to be, to lead me to where I want to go.'”
