While Affleck has yet to publicly respond in regards to the new song, he was spotted having dinner with a friend at the West Hollywood hotspot Steak 48 on Monday.
The actor was spotted with a friend at the establishment, where they dined for over two hours.
He was seen wearing a white button-up dress shirt, dark blue jeans and brown boots for the dinner outing, while carrying a jacket.

‘She mentioned how last year was a very difficult time for her both personally and professionally. She had to cancel her tour and really focus on herself,’ the fan added.
‘Fast-forward to one year later, and she feels better and stronger than ever, so she wanted to write a song about coming out of a bad situation much stronger,’ he said.
He said that she, ‘kept thinking of the word “wreck” because it means destruction, but she wasn’t destroyed,’ adding one of the songs lyrics are, ‘I’m stronger after the wreckage of you.’
Another unnamed fan in attendance added Wreckage of You was a, ‘very emotional, empowering song about walking away from a relationship and coming out a stronger person.’

The exes are still trying to sell their $60 million marital home that they bought in May 2023, nearly a year after tying the knot for a second time.
While the divorce was finalized this February, they have still failed to sell the home, which they initially listed for $68 million in July 2024
While the divorce was finalized this February, they have still failed to sell the home, which they initially listed for $68 million in July 2024.
They dropped the price to their break-even point at $60 million after failing to find a buyer, but the home was recently taken off the market entirely.
An insider exclusively told the Daily Mail, ‘Ben and JLo slashed the price on their Beverly Hills mansion for $8 million less than they paid for it, but this is nothing to Ben.’
‘He really just wants this to be sold so that he can cut the final cord that keeps him and Jennifer intertwined,’ it was added.
