Ben Affleck Adds Third Bike to Motorcycle Collection

BBG News

Ben Affleck appears to be expanding his motorcycle collection.

In a span of three days, the actor who portrays Batman, aged 52, was spotted riding two bicycles and receiving a third one at his residence.

On Friday, he showed off his sleek new red bike while taking it for a joyride in Los Angeles. 

Two days ago, on a Wednesday, he was spotted cruising on his BMW motorcycle, following his public statement about the awkward split with Jennifer Lopez, who is now 55 years old.

In the Brentwood area, he was spotted casually riding his motorcycle. For the occasion, he donned a biker jacket, protective helmet, and denim pants.

An additional motorcycle was also brought to his home, hinting that he might be taking them for a spin as test rides.

For several years now, Affleck has shown a keen interest in motorcycles, and on numerous occasions, he’s been spotted cruising on a Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa model.

In the previous year, he was observed cruising through Los Angeles on an electric motorcycle, with his thirteen-year-old son, Samuel, as his passenger.

Following a rare open discussion about his divorce from Lopez, the actor decided to step out for an outing, known for his private nature. (This conversation was held with British GQ recently.)

He deemed their separation as “embarrassing” upon his contemplation of their starkly contrasting perspectives towards the limelight.

The bold admission, following years of silence, left many puzzled: what prompted this unexpected shift in attitude?

On Wednesday, a source disclosed to DailyMail.com that Affleck chose to address the public for the first time about the split due to feeling tired of the storyline portraying him as the villain and Lopez as the victim.

He mentioned that he anticipated this action would provide him with the ‘resolution’ he urgently sought, put an end to persistent queries about their separation, and enable him to concentrate on his ‘professional life and loved ones’.

In my fervor, I can’t help but express that he’s beyond weary of the ongoing divorce saga and the portrayal that paints him as perpetually moody, while she is cast as an innocent victim. That’s not the whole story, in my opinion.

For about a year now, I’ve found myself longing for the days when he was here, wishing that our conversations could be enough to silence the persistent inquiries.

Ben has decided to concentrate on the things that truly matter to him – his job and his loved ones. This decision brought him a sense of resolution, something he had been seeking.

As a die-hard admirer, let me share a tidbit I’ve picked up: Affleck had no intention of discussing his divorce in public arena, but the weight of Jennifer Lopez’s surprising remarks to Interview magazine last October left him with no choice other than to clear the air.

During that challenging phase, I found myself expressing the breakup as the toughest period in my life, a time when everything seemed to shatter around me. Yet, amidst the ruins, I discovered that this tumultuous journey was steering me towards the destination I longed for.

The source explained that Ben had not intended to discuss their divorce since it’s a personal issue, as he values Jen’s privacy.

However, following her discussion about him with Interview magazine, he felt compelled to express his thoughts, doing so as politely as possible.

The source mentioned that Affleck is hoping their split won’t overpower or draw too much attention away from the imminent release of their collaborative project, “Kiss of the Spider Woman.

This week, it came to light that the film musical, where Lopez stars and Affleck co-produces, has been chosen for a cinematic launch this autumn.

‘Also, regarding their movie, Ben is trying to get the deal locked,’ the source revealed.

He genuinely desires its success, avoiding any potential overshadowing from the past dramas that have occurred with Unstoppable.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Affleck’s representative for comment.

In a recent interview with British GQ (published this week, though conducted in late January and early February), Ben Affleck confessed that he and Jennifer Lopez held contrasting perspectives on the concept of fame.

He mentioned that there are numerous individuals whom he believes have managed fame with greater skill and finesse than himself, including Jennifer, as one example.

I tend to be a bit more introverted and keep my personal life more private compared to her. It’s common in relationships that we don’t always share the same perspective on such matters.

Regarding the reasons behind their marital breakdown, he maintained that there was no controversy, no dramatic series, and no mystery involved.

As a diligent observer, I often find myself pondering about the reasons behind breakups, searching for underlying causes.

To be frank, as I mentioned earlier, the reality is far more ordinary than most might imagine or find captivating.

The narrative revolves around individuals navigating their lives and connections, which is much like what most of us experience on a daily basis.

He maintained that nothing significant occurred which caused their separation, and admitted that discussing the divorce made him feel awkward and exposed.

Over time, I believe this holds true for many individuals, including myself, that our lives don’t seem to have defining moments or notable achievements attributed to specific figures, as one might expect.

As an engaged listener, I must admit, listening in on a couple’s therapy session can feel quite familiar, and over time, I might find myself distancing from another pair’s intimate conversations.

First off, it seems obvious that this individual has certain problems. It’s apparent they have these issues. However, I hesitate to disclose this information because it carries an element of awkwardness and exposure.

He concluded by stating that he has ‘nothing but respect’ for his ex-wife.

In the interview, I couldn’t help but express my admiration for my exceptional and remarkable first wife, Jennifer Garner, who turns 52 this year. We are blessed to share three wonderful children together: Violet, now 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 13. Our marriage, which began in 2005, lasted until our divorce was officially finalized in 2018.

In the year 2021, Affleck expressed his commitment to maintaining privacy in his relationships when a journalist from The Wall Street Journal inquired about his romantic involvement with JLo.

He said ‘some things were intimate’ and should not be ‘shared with the rest of the world.’

The celebrity remarked, “Feel free to speculate, but a tough lesson I’ve come to understand is that not everything should be shared openly.

‘Some matters hold personal and intimate significance because they aren’t openly disclosed to everyone outside our immediate circle.’

He mentioned that he was figuring out the balance between what he wished to disclose and what he preferred to keep private.

Affleck clarified, “I can’t say if it’s positive or negative. What I do know is that I prefer maintaining certain personal boundaries in my life. In a respectful and honest manner, let me tell you this: I choose not to discuss my private relationships in the media. For now, I will practice some self-restraint.

Although Affleck expressed a desire to maintain privacy regarding their relationship, intricate aspects of their love narrative were exposed globally through her album titled “This Is Me… Now” and its companion documentary titled “The Untold Greatest Love Story.

In the film premiered in February 2024, I found myself surprised when Affleck confessed that her detailed account of our romance in her album left him taken aback.

As whispers circulated that they might be splitting up only three months after its debut, many questioned whether her transparency may have caused a rift between them.

By August of that year, the pair’s breakup was confirmed.

Previously, news emerged that Lopez has found herself in an outstanding position post-split, with plans for a significant return to her career – however, she intends to try out a new strategy this time.

According to a source, she isn’t planning to write songs about her personal relationships in this new phase, but rather intends to produce tracks focusing on themes such as resilience, bravery, and determination. (DailyMail.com)
