Ben Affleck is debuting his divorce glow-up … swapping out his signature salt-and-pepper beard for a freshly dyed look.
The Oscar winner hit the streets of Santa Monica, California, where he was seen sporting a significantly darker shade of facial hair … a clear dye job.
Ben appears to be feeling himself, as he beamed while stepping out in a pale blue button-down shirt and black, business-style slacks.
The actor has let his natural grays come through the last couple years … just take a look at a shot from December 2023, when Ben let his age show with some specks of white coming through.
Nonetheless, Ben has dyed his beard before … the last time being in 2020, when his apparent dye job sent the Internet into a tizzy.

Ben’s beard update comes amid his rollercoaster relationship with estranged wife Jennifer Lopez, who filed for divorce in August after 2 years of marriage. While Ben and Jen reunited in Beverly Hills for a lunch date in September, sources previously told TMZ that the pair are still planning to divorce.

We were told Bennifer is still very cordial with one another … but have tapped famed divorce lawyer Laura Wasser to mediate their divorce.
TMZ broke the story … J Lo and Ben surprisingly did not have a prenup before saying “I Do” in 2022. Since both Ben and Jen have a number of projects in the works, it’s been a bit tricky dividing up who gets what.
It’s unclear if the new look is for one of these pending projects … but it’s clear the beard issue is no longer black-and-white!!!
