The Wedding Planner star filed for divorce from Ben on August 20 after two years of marriage.
Last month, Lopez broke her silence on their split while talking to Interview Magazine – and described the separation as both 'sad' and 'scary.'
Earlier this month, the father of three took his youngest, son Samuel, 12, to Crypto.com arena to watch the Los Angeles Raptors beat the Toronto Raptors in an NBA matchup.
But the two-time Academy Award winner didn't grab just any old seats in the arena, he treated his son to coveted courtside seats.
Affleck shares Samuel, as well as Violet, 18, and Fin, 15, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52, to whom he was married from 2005 until 2018.
Despite his second divorce, Affleck has not given up on love.
'Ben has not given up on relationships and finally feels ready to move forward and start dating again,' an insider recently told DailyMail.com.
'He is not going to jump into anything serious until the divorce is finalized but that does not mean he cannot date.'
His recent sighting comes as the Good Will Hunting star prepares to spend his first Thanksgiving since his split from his wife Jennifer Lopez, 55; the former pair seen in 2023
However, the woman must either be sober or in recovery, as he is not willing to jeopardize his own sobriety.
The source continued: 'He only wants to date someone who is sober or in recovery.'
'These past two years have been tough for Ben and as he begins to heal, one thing is very clear: his recovery comes before anything. He is not going to put his sobriety in jeopardy.’
