Ben Affleck is single and ready to mingle.
The “Accountant” star has been “casually dating” since he and ex-wife Jennifer Lopez finalized their divorce on Jan. 6, according to a report by People published Friday.
“This doesn’t seem to be a focus though,” the insider added.
Right now, the Oscar winner is said to be “very focused on work.” The source explained, “If he’s not filming, he spends long days at his office.”
And when he’s not working, the 52-year-old is spending “a lot of time” with the three children he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12.
The source added that Affleck and his son “are very close.”
Affleck’s rep didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
The actor’s dating new comes after TMZ reported on Friday that Affleck and Lopez’s marriage was dissolved by the Los Angeles County Superior Court. They were also declared legally single.
After rekindling their romance in early 2021 — nearly 20 years after calling off their first engagement — Affleck and Lopez went on to tie the knot in 2022. However, they split two years later.
Lopez, 55, filed for divorce from the “Gone Girl” star on their second wedding anniversary, August 20, 2024.
While Page Six exclusively reported that Affleck was spending time with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 36-year-old daughter Kick Kennedy the same month Lopez filed for divorce, he didn’t have any interest in dating after the split.
In December 2024, a source told us, Affleck is mainly “focused on numerous projects he’s working on.”
He’s “still adjusting to the single life,” the insider said at the time. “Ben has no interest in jumping into another relationship at the moment.”
Now that several weeks have passed, he seems to be dipping his toes back in the dating pool.
