Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez seem to be handling their divorce in distinct ways. Lopez has been frequently seen with her younger bodyguard, aiming to present a certain image during the divorce proceedings. On the other hand, Affleck has been keeping a relatively low profile since his representatives dismissed rumors of a relationship with a member of the Kennedy family.
Affleck's Post-Separation Strategy
Affleck's decision to "lay low" is an integral part of his own post-separation plan. Given his discomfort in the spotlight and his longstanding feud with Hollywood's paparazzi, the former "Batman" has focused on his work and personal growth as he attempts to reach an agreement with Lopez on dividing their assets.Ben's New Look
Recently, Affleck was spotted with a bushier beard than what fans are used to. The "Argo" director was seen driving around Los Angeles, smoking a cigarette with the windows down just days before his first Thanksgiving since his highly-publicized split from Lopez. This change in his appearance might be a reflection of his current state of mind or a way to distance himself from the public eye.Lopez's Public Outings
Lopez filed for divorce in August, even though Affleck had already moved out of their shared Beverly Hills mansion that she has been unable to sell. However, the couple has been seen in public on several occasions together with Lopez's children. In September, they were even spotted kissing at a hotel brunch. This shows that despite the divorce, there are still moments of connection between them. Lopez is currently in the midst of a press campaign for her new movie "Unstoppable", which was produced by Affleck's company Artists Equity. She is receiving some award buzz for her role as Judy Robles, the mother of a wrestler with a unique story.Divorce and Public Perception
The different ways in which Affleck and Lopez are handling their divorce have attracted a lot of public attention. Lopez's decision to be seen in public with her bodyguard and on outings with her children is part of her strategy to manage the public perception of her during this difficult time. Affleck, on the other hand, prefers to stay out of the limelight and focus on his personal and professional life. Each of their approaches shows their individual personalities and how they deal with challenges in their lives.
