Ben Affleck was spotted stepping out alone after Thanksgiving.
After the holiday, the 52-year-old actor was seen running errands in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles on Friday.
He appeared downcast after spending the holiday with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner and their kids amid his divorce from his now-estranged wife Jennifer Lopez.
As he headed to a local shopping center, he looked effortlessly stylish in a tan-colored button-down, which he layered over a black shirt, with the sleeves rolled up.
The two-time Oscar winner — who ‘felt blessed’ to spend a cozy Thanksgiving with his ex — donned dark gray jeans paired with black sneakers to complete his casual look.
Affleck sported short hair, a grown-in buzz cut, and scruffier facial hair.

Affleck’s outing comes just shortly after he spent Thanksgiving with his ex-wife Garner amid his divorce from JLo.

While helping out the non-profit organization on Thursday to feed 2,000 homeless people in downtown Los Angeles, Affleck was seen getting close to Jennifer and also whispering to each other during the busy day.
At home, they also indulged in family meal with their children — Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.
A source told Page Six that Ben ‘felt blessed’ to spend Thanksgiving with his ex-wife and children, adding that he ‘can just be himself’ around Garner.
The former couple were married for a decade until their split was announced in 2015. Three years later, their divorce was officially finalized in 2018.
‘Even though Ben and Jen have been split for a while now, he feels a certain level of comfort with her,’ the insider continued.
‘Ben has a strong relationship with Jen that will never dissipate because they have a lot of history together and she’s the mother of his kids.’

One day earlier on Thursday, Ben appeared in high spirits as he volunteered for Midnight Mission with Garner, as well as their children.
The pair donned matching aprons that had ‘I [heart] the Midnight Mission’ as they served special meals to those in need on the holiday.
During the outing, the two stars were seen standing close to each other and at one point, Affleck was seen whispering into Jennifer’s ear with a small smile on his face.
Body language expert, Judi James, informed DailyMail.com that Ben’s ‘demeanor suggests he is where he wants to be, without any pressure to perform as an A-lister.’
‘His smile registers a fun, playful approach and at one point he whispers in Jennifer’s ear in an act of intimacy.’
James added, ‘Ben is in pure alpha mode here, standing with arms folded and head cocked, looking immersed in the event, in contrast to his rather disconnected public signals with J-Lo.’

In 2022, Affleck married Jennifer Lopez — whom he previously dated in the early 2000s before their first split.
However, earlier this year in August, the On The Floor songstress filed for divorce from the Oscar winner on their second wedding anniversary.
‘Ben looked so dour and irritable towards the end of his marriage to J-Lo but here he looks relaxed and in charge of the event,’ the body language expert continued.
‘Both he and his ex-wife Jennifer are smiling here and apparently happy to be photographed, with none of the rejection signals Ben had tended to display towards photographers until recently.’
‘Ben looks happy and comfortable fitting back into the family unit, as though the high levels of A-list fame he achieved with J-Lo were a burden that he struggled to cope with, just as he had the first time he was in a relationship with her.’
