Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez ‘s relationship could be taking a toll as he was spotted leaving Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.

The actor wore black lace-up boots, khaki pants, and a blue button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows and only half tucked in.

Under that shirt, he wore a white shirt that peeked through the top unbuttoned portion.

Rumours have swirled that the marriage between Ben and JLo is on the rocks. Body language expert Judi James spoke exclusively to the Mirror about Ben’s latest outing,

noting that the Argo actor wasn’t a “fan of the very public life,” which might have affected his relationship with the limelight-loving Jennifer.

“Sadly it seems to be being made clear to Ben that it’s now not only his appearances with Jennifer that make him a lightning rod for camera interest,” Judi said,

“He seems to be no fan of the very public life he and Jennifer have to lead at times and here he seems to try to avoid any sense of pressure by using his height to look above the level of the photographers.”

She added that his looks might also show his annoyance with the flashing cameras. “His eyes are rounded and his jaw drops open slightly and he seems to be in no mood to smile and suggest a celebrity-style air of any love of paparazzi attention,” she said.

Ben could be stressed out from the cameras or from his relationship with Jennifer. Earlier this month, insiders claimed that Ben “moved out” of the house.

The rumours continued to swirl as it was realised that the two hadn’t been seen together in public since March. An insider told PEOPLE: “She likes to open her heart to her fans and to the world. He is more introspective and private. This has been difficult day-to-day.”

It appears that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s relationship may be going through a rough patch, as recent sightings of Ben leaving a restaurant alone have fueled speculations. The actor was dressed in black lace-up boots, khaki pants, and a blue button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up and only half tucked in, possibly indicating some inner turmoil.

Body language expert Judi James shared her insights with the Mirror, suggesting that Ben’s discomfort with the public scrutiny they face as a couple might be straining their relationship. She noted his body language, such as his tense expression and lack of smiles, as possible signs of his unease with the paparazzi attention.

The rumors about their relationship took a darker turn when reports claimed that Ben had “moved out” of their shared home, further adding to the speculation. Sources close to the couple revealed that the differing personalities of Ben and Jennifer might be causing some friction, as she is more open and public while he tends to be more reserved and introspective.

It remains to be seen how the couple will navigate these challenges and whether they can overcome the obstacles in their relationship. Stay tuned for more updates and insights on this developing story.
