Ben Affleck is spotted after spending time with Jennifer Lopez at their LA house... before receiving a visit from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner

Ben Affleck spent a few hours at his former home with his estranged wife Jennifer Lopez, 54, on Saturday.

As he left a few hours later, he had a glum look on his face while driving to his $100,000-a-month rental mansion in Brentwood. 

The Air star, 51, wore a plaid shirt and scrolled through his phone while he was stopped in traffic and at lights. 

Not long after Affleck arrived home, his ex-wife Jennifer Garner was seen pulling up to his house and letting herself in with a code on the security keypad. 

The Alias star, 52, had to open her car door to enter the code revealing she was wearing a white sweater and had her hair pulled back with a black headband.

Ben and Lopez have been dogged by divorce speculation as they've been spotted looking unhappy and tense and their $60 million Bel Air mansion surfaced on real estate sites.

Recently reports have been published that the couple are on the brink of divorce.

Under a cloud of conjecture about the state of their relationship, Affleck reportedly visited Lopez at their house in Bel Air this weekend.

There are also claims that the couple are 'living separate lives' amid their rumored marital woes.

For weeks it has been claimed the couple's marriage was on the rocks after the pair had not been photographed together publicly for 47 days.

What followed was a series of awkward public outings, with body language experts deducing the pair seemed 'unhappy' in each other's company.

Now it's claimed that while the pair are not 'officially separated' they have been spending time away from each other and looking at buying separate homes.

And Garner, who was married to Affleck from 2005 to 2018 and shares three children with him, has been there for her ex.

In fact, she's been there for Ben so much that sources are saying her current boyfriend John Miller is growing tired of how involved she is with trying to help him.

‘Of course it bothers John that Jen is so hyper focused on her ex-husband,’ an insider told DailyMail.com exclusively.

‘He cares deeply for Ben and sympathizes with what he is going through with Jennifer, but that doesn’t mean Jen should be the one to fix her ex-husband’s issues with his current wife. That makes no sense to anyone.

‘Jen is such a caring and wonderful woman and mother and there is nothing but a deep friendship and bond between her and Ben.

'John wants nothing more than for Ben to be okay, but it isn’t his girlfriend’s responsibility to play babysitter to him.

‘That is for Ben to figure out on his own and for his wife to handle. It isn’t Jen’s responsibility, and he has told her this.’

Miller and Garner have been dating since 2018 and a second source said he's simply trying to stay out of it because it is none of his business.

‘John stays out of it, he knows it is none of his business, so he keeps away from all of that, because who wants to talk about their ex more than you have to,’ they said. ‘But Jen can't get away from it because it is everywhere.

‘It doesn't affect her current relationship or her life in a negative way. She just wants to protect her kids, and by being there for Ben, if and when he needs, allows her to do that.’

They added that Affleck is conscious of being a ‘burden’ and tries to avoid discussing his marital breakdown with his ex-wife, with whom he shares children Violet, 18, Fin (formerly Seraphina), 15, and Samuel, 12.

‘Jen is monitoring it all and she has told Ben time and time again, they can talk about anything, and she will be there for him to vent,’ the source said. ‘But Ben never wants to burden her and will instead just talk to her about the kids and what the kids need.’
