Ben Affleck’s Divorce from Jennifer Lopez May Not Stop Him from Rekindling Romance with Ex-Wife Jennifer Garner
Few people, if any, would be blindsided if Ben Affleck managed to woo his ex-wife Jennifer Garner back.
According to RadarOnline, at least one person is "fully expecting" the former couple to rekindle their decades-long romance. Affleck is currently in the process of getting a divorce from Jennifer Lopez, whom he married in 2022.
Their two-year union folded this summer after just two years and a whirlwind reconciliation 20 years after they first planned to tie the knot. With their divorce still being finalized, purported insiders claim that the "Love Don’t Cost a Thing" singer believes the actor and his ex are moving beyond the parameters of co-parenting.
Strong Bond Between Ex-Couple
The outlet’s unnamed tipster even suggested that the former couple’s strong bond was "casting a shadow" over the short-lived marriage. Affleck and the "Alias" star were married for a decade when they announced their separation in 2015. By that time, they had welcomed three children: daughters Violet, 19, and Seraphina, 15, and son Samuel, 12.
History of Their Relationship
Per People’s timeline of their relationship, Garner referred to Affleck as "the love of my life" months after they separated. The pair even tried to salvage their union with therapy before filing for divorce in 2017. The marriage was dissolved the following year.
Post-Divorce Developments
The "Good Will Hunting" screenwriter and Garner have appeared almost inseparable since he and Lopez called it quits. They have frequently been photographed around Los Angeles, including being together on Thanksgiving, in the months since his second marriage crumbled. Reports suggest the "Pearl Harbor" co-stars will also spend the Christmas holiday together as a family.

“He looks so much happier with Garner,” an Instagram user commented when Page Six shared an update about the trio of exes attending a school play to support their kids. Another person wrote, “They were never happy, Ben was happy drinking in that mess of a forced marriage on a couch.” And a third onlooker remarked, “The dude’s a mess… sorry.”
Alcohol Struggles
One of Affleck and Garner’s marital issues that spilled into the public was his struggle with alcohol. He sought help at rehab in 2001, 2017, and again in 2018.
Garner’s New Relationship
Garner, on the other hand, rebounded with businessman John Miller, whom she began dating in 2018 before breaking up with him in 2019. The pair reconnected in 2021 and have been together ever since. Like his leading lady, he too is a co-parent, having two kids with ex-wife violinist Caroline Campbell. The actress is said to be "very happy" with her beau despite being "dragged" into Affleck and Lopez’s soured love.
Conclusion
The question on everyone’s mind is whether Ben Affleck will indeed rekindle his romance with Jennifer Garner. Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – the strong bond between them is still palpable.
