But what do Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, “closer than ever” want to tell us?

She reportedly encouraged Ben Affleck to “work” on his relationship with Jennifer Lopez. A true moral support for the actor, his ex-wife Jennifer Garner (from 2005 to 2018) would have supported him during the ups and downs of his romance with the singer. But also during their tumultuous separation. Support that Jennifer Garner, good paste, would continue to offer to Ben Affleck.

We saw them all smiles, posing together during a distribution of meals intended for disadvantaged people, on Thursday, November 28, for Thanksgiving. So far, nothing unusual. What caught our attention more was this photo in which Ben Affleck whispers in the ear of his ex-partner. A most surprising closeness, six years after the stormy divorce of the director and Jennifer Garner.

A “common history”

We particularly remember the awkward comments of the actor, who, when discussing his past alcoholism, declared in 2021: “I would probably still be drinking (if he had not divorced Jennifer Garner, Editor's note). » A speech that earned him public opprobrium – and our own indignation. A few days later, the hero of Gone Girl (2014) apologized, assuring that he and Jennifer Garner “respected and cared for each other.”

An episode on which the actress seems to have given up. So much so that Jennifer Garner and her ex-husband are now “closer than ever”, we learn Life & Style . This is evidenced by these photos of the parents of Violet, 19 years old, Fin, 15 years old, and Samuel, 12 years old, immortalized at the beginning of December in a car, their faces beaming, during a stroll in Los Angeles. “They have a common history and a deep love for each other,” an anonymous source told the magazine. They love spending time together and everything lights up when they see each other. Let’s just say Ben and Jen get along great.”

Strengthened links

Better yet, the fifty-year-old would feel completely “himself” in the presence of his ex-wife. A godsend for those who avoid red carpets and paparazzi at all costs. Lately, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have also reportedly gotten closer on the sets. The two actors, filming in Long Beach as part of separate projects, would sometimes come to support each other behind the scenes.

Jennifer Garner would, for her part, be delighted to see the transformation made by Ben Affleck. The actress would thus be relieved that her former companion had “received the help he needed” against his alcoholism problems, and took the time to “work on him”. “She saw him evolve,” explains a witness to Life & Style. She saw his progress and his transformation, and it changed the image she had of him.”

And the anonymous person reminds us: “Ben thinks Jen is the best thing that ever happened to him.” As for the main interested party, she declared in the columns of Vanity Fair US in 2016, that he was “the love of her life.” In recent times, the ties that unite the former spouses have only strengthened. “They developed a mutual respect and a deeper friendship than before,” says a relative.. Some friends wonder if they might be about to get back together.”

Two women named Jennifer

Here we are. At this point, rumors of a potential reconciliation seemed inevitable. Won by collective enthusiasm, we once hoped that these predictions would come true. Until coming across a biting tweet. “Ben Affleck has been constantly alternating between two women named Jennifer for two decades,” quips a user on X. A message direct enough for us to come to our senses.

And we say to ourselves that perhaps it is time for Ben Affleck to break this infernal cycle. Obviously, the actor shares this point of view. If we believe Page Six the interpreter of Batman would not be “interested in the idea of ​​romantic encounters”. He would now be “focused on many projects” and would still try to come to terms with “his single life”.

“Never expect anything from a man”

As for Jennifer Garner, she has been dating John Miller, president of CaliGroup, a company that notably owns a fast-food chain, for six years now. The heroine ofAlias also keeps your feet on the ground. In mid-November, the fifty-year-old shared the teachings of her mother Patricia on matters of love, during her appearance on the podcast Lipstick on the Rim . “Never expect anything from a man, don’t marry a man thinking you can change him,” she declared. Before joking: “I still have to work on that.” Perhaps Ben Affleck will, of his own free will, continue the ongoing metamorphosis – this time, for the better.
