Here are some photos of Ben Affleck on the set of RIP on Monday. He was enjoying a cigarette and some kind of beverage during a set break. Ben has been relatively quiet in recent months, ever since Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce. I mean, Ben’s PR has put some stuff out there and there’s been some minor “crisis management,” post-divorce-filing, but mostly he’s just let J.Lo manage the fallout herself. Well, Ben’s PR decided to answer the question no one is asking: is Ben ready to start dating now?
Ben Affleck has “no interest” in dating right now, a source exclusively tells Page Six. The “Batman” star, 52, is “focused on numerous projects he’s working on” and is “still adjusting to the single life” amid his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, the insider shares. “Ben has no interest in jumping into another relationship at the moment.”
The insider adds, “Ben’s divorce from Jennifer hasn’t even been finalized, but even if it were, dating is just not where his head is at.”
Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from the Oscar winner earlier this year — notably on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding ceremony, which they held after eloping in Las Vegas on July 17, 2022. According to the insider, “Ben is taking this time to focus on himself, his kids and his career.”
A rep for Affleck did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
As Page Six previously reported, production has also “slowed” on Affleck and pal Matt Damon’s upcoming crime thriller, “RIP,” amid the actor’s divorce.
“With Ben’s divorce and everything going on in his personal life, production on the film has slowed and there’s no release date at the moment,” a source told us. “They’re still working on the project, but there’s not a firm deadline with any of it.”
I still want to know if he was really seeing or sleeping with Kit Kennedy earlier this year. J.Lo certainly thinks he was, and those rumors just went away, without anyone explicitly denying them. Anyway, I have a two-fold guess about Ben. I think he probably does enjoy being single/divorced and protecting his peace in a more managed way. I also think he’s probably already sleeping with other women, it’s just nothing serious and he’s keeping it pretty discreet.
Meanwhile, J.Lo posted this amazing video over the weekend. No matter what happens to her or around her, she stays working and looking great.

That’s ok because he has reached the age and downright visible ugliness that no one is wanting to date him for anything other than money and fame.
Yes! 🎉
Jesus, he’s 52, not dead. Can we leave the age out of it?
Nope! I’m in my 50s and even my hubs agrees that all my single friends should steer clear of the 50-something divorced dads 😆. There’s nothing endearing about them.
And just to double down on my original comment, any shine that man had the past few years was just because he was standing in her glow. Like her or not, she made him look a lot more palatable than he really is for a hot minute.
He only looked good when he was with JLo. Her glow rubbed off on him. He’s the epitome of stealing a woman’s light.
Am i just an idiot- *I* am so horrified that he like put everything into wooing her, wrote letters, went through with the whole thing- when was like- nah, i’m out and never looked back.
I mean, i would imagine Ms. Lopez is A LOT. But it is not like he did not know that.
It just seems cruel, and unhinged.
Of course, as a fabulous comedian (can’t recall her name) used to say- an on and off relationship- because its always good to go back to something that you *know* does not work.
Tired of his people magazine updates.
Go work, stop doing photo ops with your kids’ mom- that woman has suffered through enough of your crap.
Become a producer- show up on oscar night- but get out of the damn news all the damn time.
Just me?
From everything I read at the time, he totally love-bombed her. It was probably a “what-if” for JLo, that is why she fell for it. I am glad, she is out there living her life, while Ben is still giving quotes to People Mag how other Jennifer is taking care of him again. He is a mess, every Jennifer would be better away from him.
Nope. Not just you.
This man is a complete jackass.
No he’s a miserable shi*tshow. I am surprised that nobody has said what he is. An emotional abuser of women. He woos them , plays with their head and dumps them. He is a masochist
Looking at the picture of him with that nasty cigarette in his mouth and then watching the video of her, my first thought is – girl, you are way too good for him.
Any video of him ever, for that matter. That one of him talking to the Instagram influencer gave me a visceral reaction (nausea).
Ben Affleck – AND JLo for that matter – do not need to be talking about dating in any context, but Ben was a fkn tool, w the ghosting and straight up disrespectful behavior in the last days of their relationship was BEYOND and he should stay single forever. Like the last poster, I am totally tired of this manchild too!
As a long time Ben watcher the love bombing in the beginning and then total rejection later is just HIM – you all just noticed it now because it was jlo. He also likes to charm his way back for second chances with other former love interests like he did with her. Also what he does after any breakup he says he has no interest in dating but then you find out he IS dating. He has as much trouble being by himself as jlo does. I think the backlash to kick Kennedy is what made him realize the public is not ready so he backed off. Publicly anyway.
Nice Just for Men in the beard bafleck. My spouse did that once and got big sores where the dye touched his face. Puts a smile on my face thinking he received the same outcome. Wow, I’m not usually this bloodthirsty.
I seriously doubt he stays single for long (let’s be real, he’s probably already hooking up.) Best of luck to the next woman he love bombs.
The using Jennifer Garner for a good image is old and used too. He claims to hate paparazzi but then goes on the staged car rides with her, windows down and everything.
If Ben is serious about his recovery from addiction, and if he has a sponsor, he is doing what is advocated, from what I hear, in not dating anyone in the first couple of years of recovery. Well, he blew that by love-bombing Jennifer, but perhaps that is what he is doing now. I hope he is. I think it would be wisest. As for Jennifer, she looks wowza. I wish she felt like she didn’t have to court anyone’s approval, but she is courting as usual her true spouse…..public opinion and social media. I do, though, know of certain situations where I would walk away without another word. I’ve done it, and I’d do it again.
I was rooting for him but I also can’t get past how he treated Jennifer Lopez.
People knock her but handled things amazingly. She gave the relationship a chance, gave him space at one point and took some for herself, but remained close to the kids.
And then whatever it was (even if she didn’t want to) she filed for divorce. That is empowering with dealing with him and the public’s bullying and prejudice.
What I wonder is why Garner agrees to help him sooo much? I know she wants him to stay sober for the kids but he seems t be in a better place regarding his addictions.
His assholery is another story. I think at a certain point it has turned the corner and it doesn’t help her.
She comes across as an enabler or an pl speculate that on some level she does feel competitive with Lopez.
All I know is that they look like they’re teaming up to hurt her, not Garner just being a supportive ex. But maybe that’s just me. And again, Lopez is handling it like a champ.
