Ben Affleck Reportedly Wants To Get Back Together With Jennifer Garner, but the Feeling Is ‘Not Mutual’

Now that Ben Affleck is single again following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, could he be looking to get back together with another one of his exes? According to insiders, Ben is hoping to rekindle the flame with Jennifer Garner after they went their own ways 10 years ago, but there’s just one problem: She may not actually be into the idea at all.

Ben and Jennifer Garner have remained close since their 2015 breakup.

Of course, that’s to be expected – they do have three children together. For the most part, it seems like they’ve settled into a happy co-parenting relationship in their years apart.

But after the couple was spotted in what appeared to be some cozy situations at son Samuel’s paintball birthday party over the weekend, rumors that something more could be going on have already started happening.

A source close to Ben says he ‘would love another chance’ with Jen.

The insider told Page Six that Ben “would definitely be open to giving things another shot with Jen if the timing is ever right,” and he is very much aware that now is not that time.

“Ben just got out of a marriage and finalized his divorce, he is really busy with work and is focused on this new chapter,” the source added. “Plus, Ben respects Jen’s relationship with John [Miller] and would never come between them.”

Besides, there’s also the matter that the feeling is ‘not mutual’ for Jen.

“She’s happy with John and that’s just not where her head is at,” a second source told Page Six. “She has a great co-parenting relationship with Ben, and that’s where things stand on her end at the moment.”

Jennifer’s current boyfriend is just trying to stay out of it.

Jen’s been dating businessman John Miller since 2018, and it doesn’t appear he’s allowing himself to be threatened by Ben possibly wanting to win Jennifer back.

“John is trying to deal with Ben and Jen’s relationship by mostly staying quiet, but it’s very hard to do that,” a source close to the former couple told The Daily Mail. “He knows that Ben has to be around as a father and he is more than okay with that, but he wants to be the man in the relationship. John only talks about Ben when Jen talks about Ben or when their kids talk about him. He doesn’t bring him up unprompted.”

At this point, that might be for the best …
