Ben Affleck smiles after reuniting with Jennifer Lopez at LA home - as 'estranged' couple's 2 year wedding anniversary is only a week away

• e-mail

Ben Affleck was seen smiling on Tuesday morning when heading to his Los Angeles office.

The Air actor - who turns 52 on Thursday - looked to be in great spirits as he wore a dark blue suit with dress shoes as he added Ray-Ban sunglasses while carrying a black duffel bag.

This sighting comes after he reportedly spent time with 'estranged' wife Jennifer Lopez at his rented Los Angeles house on Sunday.

The Atlas actress was dropping off his son Samuel, 12, after she took the child shopping. She seemed to stay at the house longer to reportedly chat with Ben.

The two have not been photographed in public together since June as reports persist that they are set to divorce.

Some outlets have claimed that they are waiting for the release of their film Unstoppable - which comes out next month - before they will announce the end of their marriage.

Others have suggested they want to hold off until their two year wedding anniversary - which falls on August 20 - to break the unfortunate news.

People claimed on Monday that Jennifer was with Ben on Sunday.

The diva, 55, had earlier taken Samuel, the 12-year-old son he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, shopping at the Century City Mall, and was dropping the child off before she entered the home.

A source has told the site that she likes to keep in touch with Ben's children after living with them at their Bel Air mansion which is now on the market for $68M.

The former Fly Girl has already been seen a few times with his daughter Violet. Affleck and Garner also have Serpahina, who goes by Fin.

This comes after fans claimed that Jenny was sending a secret message to Ben. 

Over the weekend, Lopez shared a post to Instagram where she played a remix of her 1999 song If You Had My Love.

In the song she warns a man she won't tolerate him cheating on her.

The clip was to promote her cocktail Delola. 

She looked beautiful in a yellow and white striped tank top while by the swimming pool of her Los Angeles mansion she is trying to sell. 

And she also had her wedding rings from Ben on. 'Slush summer crush,' her caption read.

But her choice of music for the post was suspect.

Fans think this was meant for Ben as the lyrics bring up skepticism about a potential relationship. 'Is this song for Ben???' asked one follower.

In the song she croons:  'If you had my love, And I gave you all my trust, Would you comfort me? And if somehow you knew, That your love would be untrue, Would you lie to me? And call me baby.

'Now if I give you me, This is how it's got to be, First of all, I won't take you cheating on me, Tell me who can I trust, If I can't trust in you, And I refuse to let you play me for a fool, You said that we, Could possibly, Spend eternity, See that's what you told me.

'That's what you said, But if you want me, You have to be, Fulfilling all my dreams, If you really want me, babe.'

The song was first released in 1999, which was three years before she met Ben on the set of their movie Gigli. 

They became engaged then famously split before their nuptials. 

Last week it was claimed JLo's inner circle doesn't like Ben. 

That includes Jennifer's longtime manager Benny Medina, a source told Page Six.

'The two of them can’t stand each other. They don’t get along and there’s still bad blood,' they claimed.

Benny had worked with Jennifer during many of her early success, but their working relationship came to an end in 2003. 

This comes after Lopez shared a post to Instagram where she played a remix of her 1999 song If You Had My Love which warns a man she won't tolerate him cheating on her

Multiple sources reportedly said that Affleck played a role in Lopez's decision to ditch Medina.

However, she brought Benny back into the fold as her manager just a few years after she and the Armageddon star had called off their engagement in 2004.

Since then, he has continued to be one of her closest advisors, and she has been seen spending time with him while staying out in the Hamptons away from Ben, who remained in Los Angeles.

A different source told Page Six that Benny tried to keep his 'mouth shut' for a more diplomatic approach to Jennifer's second romance with Ben. 

'His attitude was, "I’m gonna say nothing." [There] was no, "Good for you," but also, [he] wasn’t negative,' they claimed.

The source said there was no point in protesting, as he was allegedly convinced that Jennifer would marry Ben regardless of his input.

Another person whose ties to Jennifer were temporarily severed amid her relationship with Ben was her good friend Leah Remini, though the Gone Girl star doesn't appear to have played a direct roll in that friendship ending.

Sources who spoke to Page Six claimed some of her inner circle have had bone to pick with Affleck going back to their first relationship in the early 2000s; seen in January

They first dated 20 years ago; seen holding hands while filming her new music video at Barefoot restaurant in Beverly Hills in 2002

It was previously reported that Jennifer had iced out Leah and even refused to invite her to her wedding after the King Of Queens star urged her to consider whether the aspects of Ben that allegedly caused them to split the first time were still a factor.

But the former friends managed to move on from their disagreement earlier this year, and Leah was reported to have spent time with Jennifer and comforted her amid her alleged marital issues with Ben.

According to the second source, 'No one, except [Lopez’s] mother, likes Ben Affleck. He’s a triple-A a**hole.'

As evidence, they pointed to recent reports that Affleck has allegedly been delaying a divorce filing in hopes of not Jennifer.

But insider previously told the publication that it was much too late for that, and that Jennifer was already 'humiliated' after Ben 'initiated getting back together' in a relationship that only lasted such a short time.

'This was definitely not on her bingo card,' the second source said. 'She would’ve scratched someone’s eyes out if they told her [they’re] splitting up less than two years in.'
