Affleck was seen with his new hairstyle, wearing sunglasses, a blue button-up, a suit jacket, and matching trousers. He was carrying a gym bag and was seen greeting different people, looking happy and comfortable. 

He was photographed without his wedding ring. 

Over the past months, Affleck has been shooting "The Accountant 2", a sequel to the original film that came out in 2016. The movie will continue the story of Christian Wolff, an accountant who launders money for dangerous criminals.

Affleck is starring and producing the film, and his new hairstyle is likely related to the role.

Affleck and Lopez have spent very different summers. The two have been apart, with Affleck busy with work and Lopez spending her days traveling to Europe and The Hamptons. She celebrated her birthday there, hosting a "Bridgerton" party with her closest friends and family.

Sources claim that Affleck has been enjoying his work. “Ben’s doing well," said a source to PEOPLE. "He thrives when he’s busy and he’s been working nonstop. The kids are still off from school. He spends a lot of time with them, too."

The source addressed the Lopez relationship woes, claiming that Affleck has been dealing with difficult topics. "It hasn’t been the easiest summer for him either," continued the source. "He’s just trying to stay focused and make every day as good as possible.”
