Actor Ben Affleck recently showed intimate gestures towards Jennifer Garner but the actress is said to have no intention of falling in love with her ex-husband again.

Dailymail quoted a source saying that Jennifer Garner was “terrified of falling in love with Ben again” and still had trust issues with him. The source explained: “She doesn’t want her heart broken again because she’s been hurt so much in the past, plus she doesn’t want the kids to see her suffering because of their dad. A lot of bad things could happen if they get back together.”

When they split in 2015, Ben Affleck was rumored to be having an affair with his children’s nanny, Christine Ouzounian. However, the actor later vehemently denied the rumor.

In an interview with Vanity Fair in March 2016, nearly a year after her marriage broke down, Jennifer Garner said her heart was still aching. The Alias ​​actress confided that she had devoted herself to her marriage to Ben. “It was always my top priority, but it fell apart,” Garner confided.

At that time, Jennifer Garner said she did not regret falling in love and marrying Ben Affleck because they had wonderful years together with three beautiful children. “He is the love of my life. He is the smartest, most charismatic and generous person,” she confided and explained more about her ex-husband. “He is also a complicated man. I always say: When his sunlight shines on you, you will feel it clearly, but when the sun shines elsewhere, you will feel cold.”

At that time, Jennifer Garner also hoped that people would not hate Ben and said that she would always be friends with him because her children loved their father very much. The actress reassured fans that she was taking good care of herself and was ready to move on to a new chapter. Garner said she understood that fans wanted her and Ben to reconcile, but that would not happen. “When Jen Aniston and Brad Pitt broke up, I was also really hoping for some news that they would get back together,” Jennifer Garner explained to Vanity Fair.



As Garner shared, over the past decade she has maintained a friendly friendship with Ben Affleck, raising three children with her ex-husband and supporting him wholeheartedly in life. After completing the divorce, the actress has been dating businessman John Miller since 2018. Most recently, she was photographed hugging her boyfriend on the street on February 20.

Meanwhile, Ben Affleck has had many relationships and married singer Jennifer Lopez – his former lover when he was young – in 2022. However, the marriage only lasted two years. Since breaking up with J.Lo last summer, Ben has spent more time with Jennifer Garner and the children.

Last weekend, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner took their youngest son out for paintball. The Batman actor was seen hugging his ex-wife and standing next to her, whispering and laughing happily. Page Six ‘s source revealed that Ben wishes he could reunite with Garner, but that’s not possible right now because she has someone else. Many other sources confirmed that despite being very close, Garner has no intention of getting back together with Ben Affleck. “Jennifer is happy with John Miller and she only has a very harmonious co-parenting relationship with Ben,” an insider said.
