All these are just speculations and personal opinions which have no basis. Maybe the Argo actor was just very happy to receive his food, we never know. No one really knows what happened between the once very much-in-love couple.
Despite their best efforts to make it work after years, it seems like they were just too different to sustain a healthy partnership. One thing is for sure- fans are delighted to see Affleck smiling and happy even when his personal life is in chaos. The former Batman actor’s exuberant image has a lot of fans wishing for his well-being and bright future.
