Ben Affleck was seen for the first time since finalizing his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
The Argo star did not appear to be in the best mood when he headed to his office in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
The Oscar-winning star kept his head down and eyes on the road as he sat in the driver’s seat of his brand-new 2025 Cadillac Escalade.
With a scruffy beard and white shirt with a blue blazer, he came off more like hipster Hollywood movie executive than Hollywood A-list star.
This sighting comes the same day that DailyMail.com learned that the Jenny From The Block singer is allowed to keep her stunning $5M green diamond engagement ring that Affleck gifted her in 2021 when he proposed.

Ben has been hitting his office very often lately as he has several projects on the horizon.
Affleck has been working a sequel to The Accountant.
And Ben has been handling the final touched of the film he produced with longtime friend Matt Damon, Kiss Of The Spider Woman, which stars 55-year-old Lopez in the lead role with Diego Luna in a supporting part.
Kiss of the Spider Woman is an American musical drama film written and directed by Bill Condon.
It is a feature adaptation of the 1992 stage musical by Terrence McNally, John Kander and Fred Ebb, which is in turn based on the 1976 novel by Manuel Puig.
The movie is headed to the Sundance Film Festival which takes place from January 23 until February 2, 2025.
Meanwhile, Jenny gets to keep her green rock.
Now DailyMail.com has learned that theUnstoppable actress will get to keep her green diamond engagement ring from Ben that reportedly costs $5M.
The ring is a statement as it has a large green diamond at the center flanked by two elongated baguette diamonds, bookended by a matching pair of trapezoid diamonds.

Jennifer said at the time of the proposal that she was pleased with the color as green meant luck and new beginnings to her.
According to TMZ, the siren also gets to keep all the other jewelry that the actor presented the beauty from the Bronx.
She already has five other engagement rings in her jewelry box at home: they are from Ojani Noa, Cris Judd, Affleck (the first proposal), Marc Anthony and Alex Rodriguez.
It was also revealed that once they sell their $61M Bel Air mansion in Los Angeles, they will split the profits.
And they will divide what was in the back accounts when they were wed.
The Atlas actress gets to keep all her earnings since they separated in April 2024. She filed for divorce in August 2024.
Affleck will hold onto his stake in his production company, Artists Equity, which he founded in 2022 with BFF Matt Damon. The company has produced Air, The Accountant Part 2 and Unstoppable.
Lopez worked on projects including Shotgun Wedding, This Is Me… Now and The Mother during their marriage.
The settlement, which was mediated by celeb lawyer Laura Wasser, also reveals Lopez is dropping Affleck as a last name and going back to Jennifer Lynn Lopez.
They will officially end their marriage on February 20, 2024.
The former couple wed without a prenuptial agreement.

Their cumulative wealth is around $550M, with Lopez’s assets accounting for $400M of their wealth treasure chest.
The actor-director and singer-actress eloped at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022 – 18 years after breaking off their first engagement in 2004.
The couple again exchanged vows at Affleck’s estate outside of Savannah, Georgia on August 20 that year.
They had first rekindled their romance in early 2021, just weeks after J-Lo broke off her engagement to Alex Rodriguez.
Affleck and Lopez have both made millions over the course of their decades-long careers from entertainment projects, investments, branding deals and more.
The actor has also invested in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, launched his own production firm and worked on more than 100 films and TV shows, amassing a net worth of $150million.
While Lopez’s film and music credits, together with her beauty business, investments and brand ambassador deals have earned her even more, totaling $400million.
This comes one day after Affleck received a visit from his estranged wife Lopez several hours before the Golden Globes on Sunday.
The Selena star dropped by his home and even appeared to give Ben’s son Samuel, 12, a hug.
JLo’s child Emme, 16, was spotted emerging from the property with a large gift in their hands as Ben trailed behind.
The sighting comes after it had been reported that Ben and Jennifer would remain in each other’s lives despite their divorce.
Last month in December, Affleck and Lopez were also seen reuniting as they exchanged gifts at Soho House in Los Angeles.
‘They have every intention of continuing to be in each other’s lives despite not being romantically involved,’ a source recently told Page Six.
The source also added that the two stars will still ‘communicate when it involves their kids.’
Ben and Jennifer ‘have a mutual respect for one another’ and also ‘have a lot of history.’
The former couple ‘remain amicable whenever they do see each other. They’re still close with each other’s children, and even though they don’t have a co-parenting type of relationship, they still feel like a blended family in a lot of ways.’
Ben shares Samuel, as well as Violet, 19, and Fin, 15, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
He had the chance to spend the holidays with Garner and his three children – with a source telling People late last month that the star is ‘healthy, single and enjoying life.’
Affleck ‘is spending the holiday with his children and is excited to have Violet home for break,’ the insider continued.
Following the end of her marriage to Affleck, a source recently told DailyMail.com that Lopez wants to take time for herself before getting into another relationship.
‘Jen like most people, would love to have love in her life again. But the one person she has to give the time to right now is herself.’
‘If something presents itself, then obviously life and love find a way, but she isn’t looking to get into any new relationships.’
‘She is focused on her work and wants 2025 to be the year she gets back to being herself,’ the source said.
‘She isn’t actively looking to date right now and is still processing losing Ben again,’ they added.
