Despite the difficulties arising from Lopez’s family, Ben Affleck has been working tirelessly throughout the summer
Ben Affleck has not had the ‘easiest’ summer amid his marital woes with Jennifer Lopez but is ‘working nonstop’ as he ‘thrives when he’s busy,’ it is claimed.
J-Lo, 55, and Ben, 51, have not been seen together in months, and DailyMail.com has revealed they have prepared divorce documents to file at a later date.
Now, as conjecture swirls that JLo is ‘humiliated’ by the implosion of their marriage, Ben has been repeatedly spotted emerging from his office.
He is said to be throwing himself into his work and spending time with family, keeping himself occupied as his marriage crumbles.
‘It hasn’t been the easiest summer for him, either. He’s just trying to stay focused and make every day as good as possible,’ a source told People.
‘Ben’s doing well. He thrives when he’s busy and he’s been working nonstop. The kids are still off from school. He spends a lot of time with them, too.’
The Argo director shares his three children — Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12 — with his first wife and Daredevil co-star Jennifer Garner.
Just last week, he unveiled a head-spinning midlife crisis makeover, complete with a faux-hawk he has been sporting ever since.
Last month, he purchased a $20.5 million mansion in the Pacific Palisades, after previously moving out of his and JLo’s marital home into a rental property.
‘Ben needed new energy in his life,’ said a source, noting his new house is ‘more his speed’ than the sprawling estate he shared with Jennifer. ‘He’s in a better mindset and is pushing forward,’ the insider added to Us Weekly.
