Ben Affleck had a bad luck on Monday when he received a parking fine.
The 51-year-old actor, writer and director was spotted in Santa Monica, California, rushing to his car after stopping at a business, but arriving after the meter had apparently expired.
A member of the Santa Monica Traffic Enforcement Team was seen leaving a parking ticket under the windshield wiper of Ben’s car.
His minor parking mishap happened around the same time his wife Jennifer Lopez, 54, was spotted elsewhere in Los Angeles minding her own business.
She and Ben were pictured this weekend having a ‘tense’ conversation in a car in which he appeared to be talking animatedly while she looked away at times and was stone-faced.

Sporty style: Meanwhile, his wife Jennifer Lopez, 54, looked casual-cool as she left a photo studio in Los Angeles alone
The actress and singer was photographed leaving a nearby photo studio in a casual-cool ensemble.
Ben was dressed casually for his day out in a sleek gray sweater which he wore with the sleeves rolled up to show off her toned forearms.
He wore a blue shirt under the sweater and paired them with slim black jeans.
The Gone Girl star completed his ensemble with a pair of cool black, white and gray Nike high-tops, and he sported a basic salt-and-pepper beard with slightly tousled hair.
Ben appeared to grimace when he realized he was too late to move his car before getting a ticket, even though the actor – who is said to have a net worth of $150 million Net Worth of Celebrities – can afford it without breaking a sweat.
The Last Duel star appeared to be in a hurry as he was seen driving away from the venue after getting his ticket without even taking it out from under his windshield wiper.
The car he was driving appeared to be the same one he was driving when he was pictured having his apparently emotional conversation with Jennifer over the weekend.
An eyewitness told DailyMail.com at the time that Jennifer could be seen listening ‘attentive’ to Ben.
He continued his monologue shortly after he parked, and she reportedly “looked away from him at one point in the conversation” “as if she was processing what he was saying.”

However, a source close to Ben and Jennifer told DailyMail.com that the two are still “very much in love with each other.”
Some media had previously reported that Jennifer was ‘absolutely furious’ after photos were published of Ben spending time with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.
Photos from earlier this month showed Ben lovingly resting his head on Jennifer’s shoulder as he gave her a ride in his Mercedes, and she was also photographed giving him a hug during the outing.
However, the playful look on his face suggested that he may have been putting on a silly display for comic effect, and his middle child Seraphina sat next to him in the passenger seat – while Jennifer sat in the backseat – indicating that nothing unusual had happened. .
The source also told DailyMail.com that Ben’s relationship with J.Lo helped strengthen his co-parenting relationship with his ex Jennifer, going on to say that the two women have a friendly bond.
During her outing on Monday, the Out Of Sight actress showed off her shoulder and a hint of her toned midriff in a loose-fitting white sweatshirt.
She showed off one of her white bra straps as it was crooked, and contrasted it with loose black sweatpants.
Jennifer wore her caramel hair tied back tightly, and she covered it up with a pair of chunky black wraparound sunglasses.

Flower power: Jennifer’s outing comes after she showed off a beautiful floral dress from Bach Mai when she made a surprise appearance at the Daytime Beauty Awards in Hollywood to present an award to Tracy Anderson.
The hitmaker carried a large brown bag slung over her shoulder, and she wore black, white and gray Nikes that were almost identical to the shoes her husband wore that day.
She was seen leaving a photography studio, although it is unclear if she was posing for a photo shoot or if she had other business there.
