After he was pictured looking exceptionally cosy with Jennifer Garner last weekend, sources close to Affleck have confirmed that no, they are not in fact getting back together. Wah!<\/p>\n Calling rumours of a reunion \u2018ridiculous\u2019, the source told TMZ that they\u2019re just really good friends and great co-parents. It comes after the celebrity news outlet shared a video of Affleck and Garner at their 13-year-old son Samuel\u2019s paintballing party in Los Angeles, with stills from the video published by Page Six that appeared to show Affleck cuddling into Garner and, in one particular shot, his hand appeared to be hovering over her crotch.\u00a0<\/p>\n Naturally, the paparazzi shots immediately went viral with fans convinced the pair were rekindling their romance. Sure, we see pictures of them laughing together all the time (Sad Ben not so Sad Ben when around Glad Jen), but these were admittedly very handsy, enough to make even the most cynical celebrity gossiper raise an eyebrow.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/03\/imago79197489-scaled.jpg” alt=”Ben and Jen 2005″ title_text=”Ben Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner circa 2005 Los Angeles CA USA PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxONLY Copyright: xJ.xCummi” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u2018Theres something so earnest in Ben Affleck\u2019s inability to move on,\u2019 one fan wrote on X. \u2018Ben Affleck teaching us that we all need to go back our exes,\u2019 another shared. Of course, some were decidedly less excited. \u2018Ben Affleck is the kind of ex that tarot readers warn you about,\u2019 one person joked online. \u2018When Ben Affleck spins the block with J Lo it\u2019s romantic, but with Jennifer Garner it\u2019s unsettling,\u2019 another said.<\/p>\n Alas, our nostalgic hearts must rest. According to TMZ\u2019s source, Affleck isn\u2019t dating anyone at all right now and is focused on his work and kids. He has three children with Garner, Violet Anne, 19, Seraphina Rose, 16, and Samuel, 13, born during their ten-year marriage from 2005 to their separation in 2015 (officially divorcing in 2017).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n According to a Grazia source, Affleck\u2019s next relationship would be firmly out of the spotlight \u2013 far from his recent marriage to Jennifer Lopez, for the second time. The pair married in 2022 after a year of dating, reconnecting after more than 20 years following their first engagement from 2002-2004. They filed for divorce in 2024.<\/p>\n \u2018Ideally, he\u2019d love to meet someone outside of the industry,\u2019 the source explained. \u2018It\u2019s unlikely that he\u2019ll put himself back on Raya because he doesn\u2019t trust that he won\u2019t get exposed so he\u2019s going to be relying on connecting with someone through friends. He\u2019s also made it clear that he wants someone who isn\u2019t into partying at all. He doesn\u2019t want to be around that so it\u2019s just better to find a partner that\u2019s in the same headspace. And they\u2019ve got to be cool with Jennifer Garner and the close relationship he has with her, because that\u2019s not going anywhere. Ben knows it\u2019s a lot to ask, but he feels like the right person is out there and he\u2019s not going to rush.\u2019<\/p>\n As for Garner, she\u2019s still going strong tech CEO John Miller, who serves as the chairman for CaliGroup – a technology company that owns the CaliBurger restaurant chain and several tech investments. The pair have been dating since 2018, although briefly split in 2020, and are rumoured to be getting married this year.<\/p>\n \u2018John has proven without a doubt that he\u2019s willing to stand by her through anything,\u2019 a source told Grazia. \u2018That\u2019s given Jen the reassurance she needed to take the next step with him and commit to marriage, to living together and blending their lives. She\u2019s saying the wedding will be this summer, it will be very small, they don\u2019t want anything ostentatious. Ben and the girls will be there and so will John\u2019s kids, along with a few family members and a handful of friends.\u2019<\/p>\n Miller has two children from a previous marriage to violinist Caroline Campbell, whom he divorced in 2011. Adorably, his daughter is also named Violet while his son is named Quest.<\/p>\n Truly, it\u2019s a co-parenting arrangement of dreams \u2013 move over, Gwyneth!\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Photo: <\/b>Imago<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We all saw the paint balling pictures, Ben!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":7659,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7656","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"guestgrazia","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7656"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7656\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7665,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7656\/revisions\/7665"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}‘He’d love to meet someone outside of the industry.’<\/h2>\n
