Ben Affleck was recently spotted picking up a fast food delivery at his home, in Brentwood, Los Angeles. The 52-year-old actor looked cheerful, days after his estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez, 55, filed for divorce. The Argo director flashed a wide smile as he carried his meal from Jack In the Box into his home, clad in a blue Nirvana T-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers.
In response, fans flooded social media with their thoughts, with many pointing out how happy and healthy he looked. Some attributed it to being single again, thus getting his freedom back. One user tweeted saying,
"Joy of being single again"

Just days before, Lopez filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The filing brought an end to the relationship-- most of which unraveled in front of the public eye. The pair first picked up from where they left off in 2022 and tied the knot that same year, nearly two decades after calling it off in 2004.
After seeing Affleck with a smile, fans wasted no time to share their opinions. One user said,
"Of course he looks giddy, he just got Jack in the Box."
"He looks happy and healthy to me," another user chimed in.
"We as men are frugal no matter how much money we have. I love that about us, fr lol," another joked.
Another user pointed out,
"Dude got a divorce and looks healthy af."
"Not having to deal with jlo and her attack midget Benny would make anyone smile," yet another thoerized.
"I understand him," one user sympathized.
"Every time Ben Affleck starts wearing his Nirvana concert teeshirts he is planning on tanking his relationship with you. It’s his tell," one user pointed out.
Ben Affleck "hanging with" Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy
Ben Affleck has been in other news recently as well, with reports emerging that the actor has been hanging out with Kathleen "Kick" Kennedy, who is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 36-year-old daughter. Page Six also reported that the two had briefly dated, just before Aflleck rekindled the flame with Lopez. Amid the recent divorce developments, the two have been spotted all over Los Angeles, including the Beverly Hills Hotel.
The Daily Mail reported that the two are just friends and are simply getting to know each other.
"They are just friends and enjoy hanging with each other. It's true that she really doesn't have any thoughts about what JLo would think of her spending time with Ben. He's a great guy, and they are getting to know each other."
Lopez, on the other hand, also seems to be relieved after the divorce. According to People, while she found the decision difficult, it was ultimately imperative. People reported, on 27 August 2024, that a source said,
"After filing for divorce, she seems relieved. Her family and friends agree that it was the right decision. She's surrounded by a lot of love and support. She'll be fine. She is strong and always comes out on top."
The pair had a high-profile relationship, having frequently made headlines for their public appearances and on-off relationship. However, the source further told People that JLo was reluctant to get divorced, and that she's "doing as well as she can."
Ben Affleck and JLo first got engaged in 2002 but broke up just two years later. They reunited nearly 20 years later to get hitched, before ultimately deciding to part ways yet again.
