The Good Will Hunting actor, 51, has been at the center of headlines with his 54-year-old wife, Jennifer Lopez, as the two have been engulfed in divorce rumors.
Ben has been pictured at multiple locations in Los Angeles in recent days amid speculation about the fate of the A-list union.
The two-time Oscar winner – father to daughters Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15, and son Samuel, 12, who he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52 – was most recently photographed shopping for vintage clothes with his son.
However, the father-son bonding moment seemed to be tainted when eagle-eyed DailyMail.com readers spotted that the actor stepped out with his pants unzipped as they joked he had been ‘interrupted on the toilet.’

On Monday, Ben was photographed wearing a button-up mint green shirt with khaki slacks and light brown suede shoes.
He also sported a pair of sunglasses that dangled from his shirt and a spiffy watch on his hand.
However, he seems to have overlooked an important component of his outfit.
The actor – who has been spotted without his wedding ring this month – was seen with his fly open as he walked through the streets of LA.
His appearance sparked frenzy among many fans as they took to the web to share their thoughts after DailyMail.com published the snaps of the actor walking around with his fly down.
‘Ok so he’s now walking around with his flies open. This guy is just gross,’ one commenter wrote.
Another said: ‘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.’
Someone else added: ‘Ben needs to zip up his pants.’

‘Flying low there Ben, even the button is undone!’ one user wrote.
Another person commented: ‘Not just forgot to zip his pants, forgot to button too.’
One user 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.’
‘To rushed to zip up?’ someone else questioned.
‘His fly is down in that first pic. Just saying,’ one comment read.
‘His fly is open,’ a reader typed.
However others defended the Hollywood director, with one writing: ‘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.’
‘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,’ another agreed.
Jennifer – mother to twins Emme and Maximilian, 16, who she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, 55 – is ‘still living separately’ from Ben, according to a source who told People that the actress is ‘very focused on work.’
An insider close to Jennifer previously told the outlet that their marriage ‘is not in the best place at the moment’ (the couple seen in 2023)

Ben has been working hard as he has been filming upcoming thriller The Accountant 2.
An insider close to Jennifer previously told the outlet that their marriage was ‘not in the best place at the moment.’
A separate source noted that the rift between the husband and wife had been ‘difficult day-to-day’ amid basic philosophical differences.
‘She likes to open her heart to her fans and to the world,’ the source said. ‘He is more introspective and private.’
Ben and Jennifer are less than two years removed from their August 20, 2022 wedding at Ben’s estate outside of Savannah, Georgia, which came more than a month after they exchanged vows in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022.
