Rumors of a reconciliation sparked when Ben Affleck was seen sharing an embrace with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, during their son Samuel’s paintball outing last weekend. However, insiders close to both Garner and Affleck’s other ex, Jennifer Lopez, insist that neither woman is interested in rekindling any romance with the actor.
At 52, Garner is happily involved with her boyfriend, businessman John Miller, 45—a relationship that began in 2018, despite its fair share of ups and downs. “She’s moved on and is happy with John. There’s no romantic interest in Ben,” a source revealed to The Post.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez appears to be thriving. Currently filming her Netflix romantic comedy, Office Romance, with co-star Brett Goldstein, Lopez is said to be having a blast and has firmly put the past behind her. An insider commented, “She’s having a blast and has left the past behind her. There’s no lingering resentment.”
The two former partners have even found common ground when it comes to co-parenting. Garner and Affleck share custody of their three children—Violet (19), Fin (16), and Samuel (15)—while Lopez raises twins Emme and Max with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony. Affleck’s relationship history with Lopez is as storied as it gets: the pair first dated in the early 2000s, ended their engagement in 2003, rekindled in 2022, tied the knot in a Las Vegas ceremony followed by a lavish wedding in Savannah, Georgia, only to ultimately divorce in early 2025.
A source close to the matter noted that the two Jennifers get along well, united by their focus on their children and a mutual determination not to be drawn into past dramas. While there are whispers that Affleck has been reaching out to Lopez post-divorce, both women seem resolute in moving forward. “Ben’s an emotional roller coaster,” one insider remarked. “Neither of them wants to go through that again.”
Garner has long supported Affleck through his personal struggles, including his battles with alcohol abuse and frequent trips to patient care centers. Now, with Garner fully invested in her relationship with Miller and Lopez busy with her career and family, it’s clear that both women have learned their lesson. As one source put it, “Who wants the guy? You think he’s the prize? No way. It’s like, ‘Next!'”
