BEN Affleck has been spotted looking somber while out shopping solo with his son.
Meanwhile, his wife Jennifer Lopez, with whom he is facing rumors that his marriage is crumbling, was nowhere to be seen.
Ben took his 12-year-old son Samuel on a vintage clothing shopping trip over the weekend.
The 51-year-old appeared silent and stoic as the two flipped through clothing racks outside of a local thrift store.
Ben looked casual in an olive colored button-down shirt and khaki pants.
He rested his sunglasses on the collar of his shirt, revealing his blank-stare eyes.

The Good Will Hunting star did not smile, and seemed to be locked into the shopping spree.
Samuel, whom Ben shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, followed closely behind in a black T-shirt and purple pants.
Ben was also spotted alone as he celebrated his daughter Violet’s high school graduation.
The proud papa attended a party in her honor without JLo.
LOOKING LO
Jennifer was seen over the long weekend with a tense expression on her face.
The 54-year-old walked out of a black brick Los Angeles music studio with her staff on Friday, wearing a casual gray tracksuit.
The singer showed off her flat stomach in a cropped gray long-sleeved sweatshirt and matching low-rise pants.
The Shotgun Wedding star paired the outfit with clear brown sunglasses and a cream-colored mini Birkin bag.
Jennifer had on glam makeup and wore her caramel-colored hair down in a blowout.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding her marriage to Ben, the mother of two still sported her diamond ring on the outing.

JLo and Ben were first linked together in 2002 and became engaged later that year. However, they called off the wedding just two years later. They rekindled their romance in 2021 and finally got hitched in 2022. Here is a timeline of their love story:
MOVIN’ OUT
The new photos arrived after the news broke that the Argo star is renting a $100k-a-month mansion in Brentwood.
A source claimed that the actor moved out of the couple’s shared home “several weeks ago.”
“They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour,” the insider explained.
Another source revealed to InTouch that Jen and Ben were facing major marital struggles and had been spending weeks at a time without seeing each other.
“It’s over; they’re headed for a divorce, and for once [Ben’s] not to blame. He’s focusing on his work and kids now,” they shared.
“They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her. There’s no way it could have lasted.”
