Ben Affleck's Action Scene & Jennifer Garner's Diamond Flash: Hollywood's Latest Buzz!

Ben Affleck filmed an intense action scene for his upcoming movie, Animals, in Los Angeles on Tuesday, while his ex-wife was across town working on her new project

JEN AND BEN: A LOVE-HATE STORY THAT JUST WON'T QUIT!

It's been a wild ride for Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, but it looks like they're still stuck in the drama cycle. Just as Jennifer flashed a whopping diamond ring on set of her new series, The Five-Star Weekend, Ben was busy filming an intense action scene for his upcoming movie, Animals, in Los Angeles.

The love-hate saga between these two Hollywood A-listers has been playing out like a real-life soap opera. Their tumultuous relationship has seen its fair share of ups and downs, with multiple breakups, rekindled romances, and even a surprise marriage in 2022.

The American actor's appearance on set came just hours after Jennifer , 53, flashed a huge diamond ring as she arrived on the set of her series, The Five-Star Weekend

But amidst all the drama, Ben's latest project is causing quite the buzz. In Animals, he stars as a dad whose son is kidnapped by a ruthless gang. As he navigates the treacherous world of ransom demands and tight deadlines, he must confront the darker aspects of his own life.

Meanwhile, Jennifer's new series is based on the bestselling novel by Elin Hilderbrand. It follows Hollis Shaw, a food influencer who suffers a devastating loss that exposes the cracks in her seemingly perfect life.

As these two superstars continue to navigate their complicated love lives and professional careers, it's clear that they're still very much entwined. Just last week, Jennifer debuted a heart-wrenching ballad called Wreckage Of You, which she co-wrote and recorded just two weeks prior. The song is all about rising from the ashes of a toxic relationship, with lyrics like "I'm stronger after the wreckage of you."

The star was seen arriving to work with a big diamond ring on her wedding finger. She is set to tie the knot with businessman John Miller

But here's the juicy part: Ben was nowhere to be found at Jennifer's exclusive listening party for 30 lucky fans in Los Angeles. Maybe he was too busy filming those intense action scenes or dealing with his own personal drama.

In any case, these two former flames are still trying to sell their $60 million marital home, which they bought in May 2023. Talk about a financial albatross!

As the drama continues to unfold, it's clear that Jennifer and Ben will always be connected – for better or for worse. And we're here for all the juicy updates!

For the action scene, Ben, 52, was pictured wielding a prop AK-47 gun as he strode across the set which was strewn with lifeless bodies
