Ben Affleck is stepping back into the dating world, announcing that he’s ready to seek love once more.

This revelation hasn’t sat well with his former wife, Jennifer Lopez. It’s understandable why—having just filed for divorce, she might not be prepared to see him moving on so swiftly.

Those close to Lopez say Affleck’s public declaration feels like a blow. Lopez has always cherished privacy in her personal matters, which makes this situation harder for her to digest. “Ben’s making a big effort to look his best,” a source shared.

It’s a significant concern for Lopez, as she’s aware of Ben’s attempts to improve himself. She’s heard how he’s focusing on better personal care and grooming habits.

Reflecting on their past, Lopez might wish he’d made these efforts while they were together. Men’s grooming routines aren’t always easy, and despite her encouragement, he was reluctant. This new change is both unexpected and disappointing for her.

Now, Ben’s cutting-edge beard trims, hair dye routines, and visits to dermatologists highlight his desire to maintain a youthful appearance, according to another source.
