Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck‘s post-divorce relationship, often described as a deep and committed friendship, has always caught the attention of fans. Despite their divorce, the former spouses have remained close, with Garner constantly supporting Affleck. However, recent developments suggest that Garner is reevaluating their relationship, leading to potential changes in their dynamic.
Ben Affleck and his estranged wife, Jennifer Lopez, seem to be on the brink of officially ending their marriage. It has been a challenging time for Ben, but fortunately, he has Jennifer Garner’s unwavering support to lean on.
Fans have often considered their post-divorce friendship somewhat odd. However, since Ben’s recent split from Jennifer Lopez, some have wondered if there was more to Garner and Affleck’s relationship than meets the eye.
Sources close to Jennifer Garner claim she has been rethinking her relationship with Ben. According to ShowBiz Cheat Sheet, she is ‘open to the idea’ of Ben moving in with her and their children.
Jennifer Garner’s role in helping Ben Affleck navigate his marital struggles with Jennifer Lopez has not gone unnoticed. Her constant presence in his life and reliance on her have reportedly become a point of contention between Lopez and Affleck.
Ben Affleck Has Free Run Of Jennifer Garner’s Home
Since Ben and JLo split, he has been renting a $100k per month home close to Jen Garner. Despite having his place, the Gone Girl star spends most of his time at Garner’s home. The insider claims that Ben is welcome to come and go as he pleases at Jen’s house.
“He’s got a key to come and go as he pleases, and he’s been spending a ton of time at her place, coming over for dinners and hanging with the kids,” the insider alleged. “It’s great for his state of mind, and the kids love having him around,” the source noted, adding that this is “why Jen’s open to the idea of having him move back in.”
The source says that Garner has no problem with Ben being there. She allegedly is open to Ben moving in altogether, as she feels it would bring much comfort to Ben and their children. However, the potential living arrangement between Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck could raise some concerns.
First, Jennifer Lopez would likely be deeply affected. She already feels that Jen Garner is overly involved in Ben’s life. Next, Garner’s live-in boyfriend, John Miller, might also have reservations. Most fans feel that despite Miller’s understanding of Jen Garner’s need to help Ben through the split from JLo, moving in together is a lot to ask.
Many feel Jennifer Garner never got over losing Ben to JLo. Jen recently stated that she feels salty that JLo got the better version of Ben. That said, does Jennifer Garner see an opening to reconcile with Ben Affleck? Either way, most feel it is a bad move for Jennifer to open her home and possibly give her heart to Ben again. They think nothing good will come from this for all involved.
