AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck was apparently too distracted to keep his appearance neat amid rumors of marital woes. The actor/filmmaker has been caught walking around with his pants unzipped during a recent outing with his son Samuel.
On Monday, May 27, the Hollywood star was photographed doing some vintage shopping with his youngest child, whom he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. For the outing, the father of three wore a button-up mint green shirt which he paired with khaki slacks and light brown suede shoes.
The "Justice League" star also sported a pair of sunglasses that dangled from his shirt and a spiffy watch on his hand. While he kept his look clean with shaved face, he seems to have overlooked the zipper of his pants which he left open.
Upon noticing the wardrobe malfunction, fans did not let it slide. "Ok so he's now walking around with his flies open. This guy is just gross," one person called out the "Gone Girl" actor. Another remarked, "Ben, your pants are unzipped. Second, rumors of strife between Ben and Jennifer Lopez aren't rumors. She's living in the 60 million mansion and Ben is renting another home. Going a second round w/out."
A third implored, "Ben needs to zip up his pants." Another social media user quipped, "Flying low there Ben, even the button is undone!" as someone else added, "Ben Affleck was interrupted on the toilet, he forgot to zip up his pants. He is very unpretentious in his appearance, the exact opposite of his wife."
Others, however, came to the actors' defense, with one speculating, "He probably forgot to zip in the changing room, it can happen to everyone especially as getting older, but most people don't get photographed by paparazzi." Another agreed as writing, "Could happen to anyone. We've all had wardrobe malfunctions, most of us aren't photographed by paparazzi so we're saved the public judgement."
Ben suffered the embarrassing malfunction as he reportedly tries to save his marriage to Jennifer Lopez. "[Ben has] struggled with loneliness" since moving out of their home "and realized how much he misses Jen," a source recently told Us Weekly.
While Jen has been "committed to working on the marriage" and is pushing for them to get help, Ben was reportedly initially hesitant but is starting to "invest more." While they were apart, "Ben and Jen kept in touch primarily to discuss essential matters and updates," said a second source.
On how their friends see the outcome of this situation, the source claimed, "Some believe they can work it out with time and effort, pointing to their deep bond. Others think the relationship has run its course."
