Just days after reports circulated that Ben Affleck and his girlfriend, Ana de Armas, had separated, witnesses claim to have spotted a cardboard cut-out of Armas in the rubbish bin at Affleck's Los Angeles home.
The photos, obtained by the Daily Mail, show that it is the same cut-out Armasis said to have used as a decoy for paparazzi.

In June last year, which were happier times for the couple, Affleck's kids - Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 8 - were seen playing with the cut-out of Armas, positioning it out the front of Affleck's house.
The couple were first romantically linked in March last year, when they were spotted enjoying a romantic getaway to Havana, Cuba, after meeting on the set of Deep Water.
The couple had been dating less than a year before they decided to go their separate ways as they are both at "different points" in their lives, a source has revealed.
The source went on to tell People magazine: "Ben is no longer dating Ana. She broke it off. Their relationship was complicated. Ana doesn't want to be Los Angeles based and Ben obviously has to since his kids live in Los Angeles. This is something that was mutual and something that is completely amicable. They are at different points in their lives; there is deep love and respect there. Ben continues to want to work on himself.
"He has three jobs lined up and he's a solid father at home [to his three children with Jennifer Garner]. They are both happy with where they are in their lives."
And another source revealed there is "still a lot of love" between the pair.
