Ben Affleck chomps down on an apple during LA errand run as he trades cigarettes for healthy option

Ben Affleck was spotted enjoying a healthy snack while out in Los Angeles on Tuesday.

The actor, 53, was wearing business casual clothes and snacking on a red apple, seemingly trying to quit smoking.

Affleck wore a light blue shirt with navy corduroy pants and a beige sport coat.

The Boston-bred filmmaker added brown boots, which coordinated with his brown belt.

His greying hair was cut short and his grizzled beard was closely trimmed. 

The event followed the star’s appearance at the Bring Change to Mind Revels And Revelations Celebration held Monday night at Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco.

He was joined by his longtime friend and frequent collaborator, Matt Damon, and the two star together in this year’s crime thriller, The Rip.

Affleck shares three kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner – Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14.

They were married for ten years, from 2005 to 2015, and officially divorced in 2018.

Okay, so Jennifer Garner was on this podcast, and she explained it perfectly! It’s like, because her kids split time between her house and her ex’s, she basically has to be both mom and dad sometimes. And he does too! It’s just how it works when you’re co-parenting, and honestly, it’s so relatable and amazing how she handles it all. I just… I admire her so much for putting her kids first like that!

It’s understandable if parenting feels unbalanced. When you don’t have a partner to naturally balance your strengths and weaknesses, you need to consciously try to incorporate different approaches to provide well-rounded guidance.

There’s a sense of loss, but also growth and learning. It’s helped me relax and worry less about how things are going.

The actor explained to E! News in January that having a public life adds complexity when it comes to raising children.

He explained they’re letting their children explore and decide on their own career paths, rather than pushing them in any specific direction.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez were married between 2022 and 2024. He has now given up his ownership of the house they shared during their marriage.

As a lifestyle expert, I’ve been following this story closely! Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck bought that incredible estate back in May of 2023 for just over $60 million. But, things change, and they started trying to sell it in July of 2024, not long before their divorce filing. It’s always a bit sad to see a beautiful property go on the market under these circumstances, but that’s life!

The Daily Mail reports that the ex-couple recently made changes to their divorce agreement, which was originally filed in January 2025.

On April 9 they added a ‘stipulation and order’ to modify specific terms of their estate.

The updated agreement clarifies that Lopez will be fully responsible for all costs related to any future sale of her share of the Wallingford Residence. This includes expenses like realtor fees, taxes, and closing costs.

In addition, they note that there will be a ‘transfer of property’ at some point.

Their August 2022 wedding came almost 20 years after they called off their first engagement.

After briefly separating in 2004, Jennifer Lopez married Marc Anthony and they had twins. They are now divorced.
