Ben Affleck looked stony-faced as he arrived at his new $20million mansion in LA – just hours after wife Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce on their second wedding anniversary.
The newly-single star, 52, failed to raise a smile as he drove with son Samuel, 12, and child Fin, 16, on Tuesday evening – shortly after it emerged J-Lo, 55, had filed to split from him.
His pensive expression was a far cry from his giddy arrival back into LA earlier in the day – after dropping daughter Violet off at college.
The Academy Award winner closed escrow on a new $20.5 million estate in Pacific Palisades last month – two months after his split from Lopez.
The home has five bedrooms and six bathrooms with breakfast and dining areas, as well as a separate family room, den, walk-in closets, media room, powder room, guest house and more amenities typical of a multi-million dollar house.

The This Is Me…Now artist and Affleck listed their Beverly Hills home for $68 million last month, after purchasing the estate for $60 million last May, but they didn’t find any immediate buyers.
JLo and Ben first started dating in 2002 after bonding on set of the film Gigli, and they quickly got engaged.
But they called it quits in 2004, just before they were set to become husband and wife.
They both went on to wed other people – she exchanged vows with Mac Anthony in 2004, while he walked down the aisle with Jennifer Garner in 2005 – but after splitting from their respective partners, they eventually got back together.
They rekindled their love in 2021 and went on to wed in Las Vegas in July 2022.
But now, after months of ongoing rumors that their marriage was ending, Jennifer has filed for divorce.
She listed the date of separation as April 26, 2024, as per legal docs seen by DailyMail.com.
The couple did not sign a prenuptial agreement before tying the knot, insiders have revealed.
Ben previously spoke about wanting to keep their relationship ‘private’ in JLo’s documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told.
Affleck was also seen puffing on a cigarette as he arrived at his office on Wednesday

The film followed the making of her latest album, This Is Me… Now, most of which was inspired by her romance with Ben
During one part of the movie, Ben admitted that he was ‘taken aback’ when he found her musicians rifling through his private love letters which JLo had given them to look at as inspiration for her next album.
The actor had clung onto his correspondence with the singer during his 13-year marriage to Garner – and later had the letters and emails bound into a book to gift her when they reunited in 2021.
He told the camera: ‘Things that are private I always felt are sacred and special because, in part, they’re private.’.
Reports of the Affleck and Lopez’s marital woes began circulating in May after the pair hadn’t been seen together since late March
Asked by Variety earlier this year whether she and Affleck would ever star in another movie together, Lopez said, ‘Maybe, in the right thing.’
‘I mean, we love working together and being together, so maybe,’ she added.
Ben was last seen on Tuesday morning with his ex wife Jennifer Garner and kid Fin. They were returning from taking their eldest child Violet, 18, to college.
Hours later Lopez filed for divorce. It was her two year wedding anniversary with him.
