Tense Ben Affleck puffs on a cigarette in his car after extreme move to sever ties with ex-wife Jennifer Lopez

Ben Affleck looked stressed when he was spotted smoking a cigarette while driving around Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The 52-year-old Oscar winner puffed away with the window open as he headed home after taking care of business at his office.

Despite the relatively warm temperatures, Ben was dressed in stylish layers with a tie-free white shirt, a dark jacket and a thick tan cashmere overcoat.

The bearded actor also looked as if he was tired when he let out a big yawn on the drive home.

He finished up work for the day after DailyMail.com published an exclusive report on the humiliating extreme the Accountant star was willing to go to just to cut his final ties to his ex-wife Jennifer Lopez, 55.

Despite divorcing, the exes are still connected through ownership of the Beverly Hills mega mansion that they bought in May 2023 for an eye-popping $60.8 million in cash.

Ben Affleck, 52, looked stressed when he was spotted smoking a cigarette while driving home from his office in LA on Wednesday.

Since going public with their separation, the two put the 38,000 square-foot home on the market for an even pricier $68 million.

Last month, it was reported that Ben and Jennifer had slashed the asking price by more than $8 million to $59.95 million, almost $1 million less than what they initially paid.

An insider exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com the extent that Ben is willing to go to push along a sale so that he can put his disastrous and short-lived marriage to the actress and singer out of mind.
