Ben Affleck has set the record straight amid rumors suggesting he is getting back together romantically with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. A source close to Ben exclusively told TMZ that the headlines circulating about a potential romantic reunion are nothing more than “ridiculous” gossip.
Ben is reportedly happy with the strong, friendly relationship he shares with Jennifer, particularly in their role as co-parents to their children. The source emphasized that Ben has no interest in rekindling a romantic relationship with Jennifer, stating, “He’s happy they can be good friends and co-parents.”
Ben’s Focus on Family and Career
Our sources also confirm that Ben is not currently dating anyone, and his primary focus remains on his career and family. He is currently directing a new movie and spending as much time as possible with his children, whom he shares with Jen.
The rumors began after the two exes were spotted together at a paintball birthday party for their son Samuel. In a video from the event, Ben was seen hugging Jennifer from the side as she shot her paintball gun, fueling speculation that the pair might be rekindling their romance.
However, insiders clarify that this type of family outing is not uncommon for the former couple, and it’s not unusual for them to spend time together as a family, despite their divorce. To both Ben and Jen, the public’s assumptions about their relationship are simply “ridiculous.”
Jennifer’s Current Relationship
It’s also important to note that Jennifer Garner is currently in a relationship with John C. Miller, the CEO of an investment firm, dispelling any further speculation about her and Ben getting back together.
With Ben focused on his film career and their co-parenting arrangement, it’s clear that the former couple remains close, but only as friends and parents.
