Ben Affleck looking for 'another chance' with ex-wife Jennifer Garner
What's the story
Hollywood actor Ben Affleck is reportedly open to reuniting with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, if the stars align. A source close to the Justice League star revealed this to Page Six, adding that Affleck "would love another chance" with Garner "if the timing is ever right." However, the insider also noted that such a reunion may not be possible at the moment due to their personal and professional commitments.
Relationship dynamics
Affleck respects Garner's current relationship, focuses on co-parenting
Despite his feelings, Affleck reportedly respects Garner's ongoing relationship with John Miller. The source emphasized that he "would never come between them." Meanwhile, another insider revealed that Garner is content with her life and isn't considering a reunion with Affleck. She values their co-parenting arrangement for their three children—Violet (19), Seraphina (16), and Samuel (13).
Growing closeness
Affleck and Garner's bond strengthened post-divorce
Affleck and Garner, who were married for a decade (2005-2015), have reportedly grown closer since their divorce, which was finalized in 2018. This was especially evident when they celebrated their son Samuel's 13th birthday together recently. An insider had previously told Page Six that the ex-couple has been relying on each other more than ever, especially after Affleck's recent divorce from Jennifer Lopez and amid the LA fires.
Relationship tension
Garner's boyfriend reportedly uneasy about her bond with Affleck
Garner's current partner, Miller, is reportedly uncomfortable with the increasing closeness between her and Affleck. A source revealed that Miller feels like a "third wheel" when Affleck spends holidays with them. Garner has had an off-again-on-again relationship with Miller since 2018. Miller works as the CEO of CaliBurger and its parent company, CaliGroup. He is also an attorney.
