Despite knowing it could jeopardize his marriage, Ben Affleck hasn’t given up smoking. He allegedly promised his wife Jennifer Lopez that he would do so.

However, as allegations of marital problems continue to circulate, RadarOnline.com captured the Argo star smoking his signature cigarettes despite making a “promise” to his new wife Jennifer Lopez that he would quit.

Affleck was photographed smoking outside his Santa Monica office just one day after putting on a brave face for lunch with Jennifer Lopez, as speculation about their three-month marriage grows.

The 50-year-old newlywed appeared to be in a good mood on Monday. In contrast to his cigarette, Affleck’s wife was nowhere to be found.

For his errand run, Affleck, dressed in white pants, a purple t-shirt, and a bluish-gray sweater, rolled up his sleeves and went to work without Jennifer Lopez.

Affleck smirked coyly in front of the cameras, his cigarette still in his mouth as photographers snapped photos. He demonstrated to the cameras that J. Lo’s attempt to persuade him to quit may be more difficult than she anticipated.

The Academy Award winner has been a heavy smoker for many years, but sources tell RadarOnline.com that it’s becoming a problem for the newlyweds. Jennifer despises smoking. You do not resemble Jennifer Lopez if you do not take care of your body.

According to an insider, she does not drink alcohol, eat unhealthy foods or smoke. According to reports, Affleck’s smoking isn’t the only source of contention between the two.

So much so that other media outlets speculated that they might divorce very soon. According to a source close to the couple, as reported by Marca, the couple is having difficulties due to the actor’s moodiness, which is making JLo uneasy and leading her to believe that Affleck is growing tired of her. The enchantment appears to have faded once the couple resumed their routine.

Lopez is reportedly looking for activities to do with Ben, such as filming the sequel to ‘Gigi,’ to keep their chemistry alive.
