Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were once one of Hollywood’s favorite couples. They started dating in 2004, and after more than a decade together, they announced their separation in 2015. While Affleck later explained in an interview with The Howard Stern Show that they had simply ‘grown apart,’ the two have always maintained a strong bond for the sake of their children.
Recently, Affleck has been spending more time with Garner, and not just in their role as co-parents. This has sparked rumors of a possible reconciliation. Recent photos of the two together have certainly caught people’s attention and fueled speculation about a potential reunion.
However, things may not be as they seem. According to Page Six, a source close to Affleck revealed that he “would definitely be open to giving things another shot with Jen if the timing is ever right,” But for now, the source noted, it’s not a realistic possibility, as Affleck “just got out of a marriage and finalized his divorce, from Jennifer Lopez, he is really busy with work and is focused on this new chapter”.
While some fans are hoping for a reunion, it looks like Garner isn’t on the same page. She’s in a steady relationship with John Miller, and according to a source, ‘the feeling isn’t mutual.’ They even added that ‘she’s happy with John’ and only sees Affleck as the father of her children.
Still, recent public sightings of the former couple have sparked more speculation. Just last Sunday, they were seen laughing and spending time together while celebrating their son Samuel’s 13th birthday. Paparazzi captured the moment, and it quickly went viral.

Of course, not everything is smooth sailing. As rumors continue to spread, Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller, is reportedly uncomfortable with how close she and Affleck seem. According to Page Six, he feels like ‘the third wheel,’ which might be causing tension in their relationship.
