Is Ben Affleck back on the market? That’s what fans want to know, as the Hollywood actor was spotted having what looked like an afternoon date with a blonde woman in Beverly Hills this week. Even though the woman has not been identified, many believe the fame-hungry female companion to be a personal assistant. Ben’s estranged wife, Jennifer Garner, was not with them at the time.
Eyewitnesses say that Ben apparently had an afternoon date with the blonde woman. The two were spotted having a sushi lunch together before heading to a bookstore. At one point, the blonde woman even tried to hold onto his arm after their sushi lunch. Ben made no effort to hold the woman’s hand or even speak to her. Instead, he looked visibly annoyed and tried to keep his distance from the woman. Yet, sources say that the woman continually tried to put her hand on Ben, much to his annoyance. He was clearly embarrassed.
Of course, Ben knew the paparazzi would take photos of him with the mystery woman. Insiders say the last thing he wants is to make headlines with more divorce and cheating allegations. Then again, many observers have noticed that Ben is looking more and more miserable whenever he’s out in public. Sure, he hates being photographed by the paparazzi everywhere he goes, but he’s never looked like this.
Ben Affleck and his wife Jennifer Garner made their separation announcement back in 2015 but so far they haven’t filed their divorce papers. Even though they are supposedly no longer together, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner still live in the same house and continue to raise their children as a family. Some reports indicate that the couple is trying to work out their issues.
They’ve had their problems but at the same time they don’t want to divorce for the sake of their three young children, Violet, Serpahina and Samuel. Of course, no one really knows what is going on behind closed doors. But this point many critics think they won’t be cutting the cord on their marriage anytime soon.
With that being said, do you think Ben Affleck is dating again? Or is his fame-hungry assistant just trying to generate publicity with her obvious pap stroll?
