Ben Affleck looked to be in great spirits as he arrived back in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, the same day as his two year wedding anniversary to his estranged wife Jennifer Lopez – and hours before JLO filed for divorce.
The actor, 52, once again ditched his wedding band as he made a giddy arrival back to the West Coast after dropping daughter Violet, 18, at college in Connecticut.
As well as Garner, whom he divorced in 2018 after 13 years of marriage, the star was accompanied by their middle child Fin as he stepped off a private jet..
The Oscar winner was also seen driving Garner in the front seat of his black BMW as they left the airport.
Fin, 15, wore a Yale University sweatshirt which may indicate where Violet has chosen to study in the fall. The school is located in New Haven, Connecticut.
Hours after his sighting, Jennifer, 55, officially filed for divorce from Ben after months of split rumors.
Jennifer filed for divorce without an attorney on Tuesday, August 20 – on their second wedding anniversary.
