See photos of Ben Affleck’s brand-new faux-hawk as his, Jennifer Lopez’s biz managers reportedly work on divorce

Ben Affleck’s got a new ‘do.
The “Air” star appears to have fallen victim to a breakup haircut, having debuted a brand-new faux hawk over the weekend as he headed to his office.
The perpetually brooding actor complemented his rocker look with a Red Hot Chili Peppers T-shirt, a leather jacket, aviator sunglasses, black boots and distressed gray jeans.
Affleck, 51, removed his wedding ring for the outing.
The Oscar winner’s dramatic haircut comes as he and Jennifer Lopez are reportedly no longer talking as their business managers figure out the finances of their seemingly imminent divorce.
Affleck is no stranger to making dramatic cosmetic decisions in light of a breakup, as he famously inked his entire backside with a colorful phoenix following his divorce from Jennifer Garner.
“It represents something very important to me. It’s meaningful to me,” he said in 2019. “I like it. It’s something that I sort of kept private, I wasn’t doing photo shoots or whatever. I love my tattoo. I’m very happy with it.”
Although the “Gone Girl” actor didn’t go into detail about the phoenix’s meaning – it’s typically a symbol of rebirth – he did allude the the tumultuous decade he had been having.
“There’s temptation to get like — I could get depressed, I could be like, ‘I’ve been through a lot. That was hard, this was hard,’ or I could be kind of embarrassed. But I have to say, I feel so good right now,” Affleck said, hinting at his stint in rehab and battle with alcoholism .
“I’m in such a great place, kids are healthy , life is good. So whatever it took for me to get to this place, I’m grateful for.”

I'm beginning to think Ben is toying around with this divorce. Jennifer wants to keep marriage, he knows it, so seems like he's milking the situation. I could be wrong.
