Recently, Ben Affleck has been relatively low-key following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. However, a recent paintball outing has reignited speculation about his relationship with his other ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. This buzz began when “Page Six” released photos of Affleck and Garner sharing a lighthearted moment at their son’s paintball birthday party.
The speculation intensified when a source revealed to “Page Six” that Affleck “would love another chance” with Garner. This insider elaborated that he “would definitely be open to giving things another shot” if the timing were right. However, they acknowledged that such a reunion is not realistic at this stage in their lives.
This comment raised eyebrows, especially since Garner has been in a relationship with businessman John Miller since 2018, and they are currently together. A different source clarified that “the feeling is not mutual on Jen’s side.” The source emphasized that Garner is happy with Miller and that her focus is on co-parenting with Affleck, rather than rekindling their past romance.
Shortly after the initial reports, TMZ released a video of Affleck and Garner at the paintball party. The footage showed Affleck giving Garner a brief hug while she aimed her paintball gun. While some media outlets portrayed this as a romantic gesture, it seemed more like a supportive action to stabilize her during the activity. Despite their close relationship, interpreting this moment as overly flirtatious might be stretching the truth.
Further clarifications emerged when a source informed TMZ that Affleck is not interested in reigniting his romance with Garner, labeling the rumors as “ridiculous.” Currently, he is focused on his career and his children, dismissing any notions of a romantic reunion.
Despite the rumors, a source told People that Affleck and Garner enjoy spending time together, particularly when their children are present. The source indicated that Affleck has been notably happy and affectionate around Garner, which suggests a strong co-parenting dynamic. While they appear to be on good terms, it’s clear that there are no romantic intentions from Garner's side.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez reportedly has mixed feelings about the resurfacing pictures of Affleck and Garner. A source indicated that she is “furious” seeing photos of her husband with his ex-wife, as it feels like “salt in the wound.” However, another insider suggested that Lopez has been focusing on her own life and growth, possibly indicating she hasn’t closely followed the media coverage.
As the three navigate their respective lives, it seems they are all focused on their individual careers. Lopez is currently working on a new romantic comedy, Garner continues to enhance her celebrity presence on social media, and Affleck is gearing up to promote his upcoming film, The Accountant 2. Given their busy schedules, it’s likely that any potential love triangle is the least of their concerns right now.
