Ben Affleck is reportedly open to the idea of rekindling his past romance with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. 

According to an insider, the Oscar-winning actor “would love another chance” with Garner, though he acknowledges that the timing may not be right.

While Affleck, 52, appears to be holding onto the possibility of a second shot at love with Garner, she remains focused on her current relationship with businessman John Miller.

Affleck’s Desire for a Second Chance

A source close to the “Justice League” star claims that Affleck has lingering feelings for his former wife and would be open to rekindling their relationship if circumstances allowed.

However, the source also admitted that Affleck understands the reality of the situation.

“Ben knows it’s just not realistic at this time in their lives,” the insider shared, noting that both he and Garner have moved in different directions since their 2015 split.

Affleck, who recently finalized his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, is reportedly focusing on work and starting a new chapter in his life.

“Ben just got out of a marriage and finalized his divorce [from Jennifer Lopez], he is really busy with work and is focused on this new chapter,” the source explained.

The actor-director has had a challenging few years in terms of personal relationships, and while he has expressed admiration for his ex-wife, he remains aware of the complications that come with rekindling a past romance.

Garner’s Focus Remains on John Miller

While Affleck may be open to reconciliation, those close to Garner suggest that she does not share the same sentiment. A second source revealed, “The feeling is not mutual on Jen’s side. She’s happy with John and that’s just not where her head is at.”

Garner, also 52, has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with businessman John Miller since 2018. Their relationship has remained relatively private, but it appears to be stable.

Garner and Affleck have prioritized maintaining a strong co-parenting relationship for their three children—Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13. “She has a great co-parenting relationship with Ben, and that’s where things stand on her end at the moment,” the insider added.

A Close But Complicated Relationship

Affleck and Garner were recently spotted together celebrating their youngest child Samuel’s 13th birthday at a paintball park in Los Angeles. The former couple looked happy and at ease in each other’s company, sharing laughs during the outing.

This public display of camaraderie has fueled speculation about their relationship, but those close to Garner insist that her bond with Affleck is strictly platonic.

Despite their romantic history, Garner and Affleck have grown closer in recent months, particularly following Affleck’s split from Lopez. “They are closer than they’ve ever been since their divorce,” another source revealed.

The two have reportedly leaned on each other more, especially during difficult times like the recent Los Angeles wildfires.

However, Garner’s growing closeness with Affleck has allegedly created tension in her relationship with Miller.

One insider claimed that Miller has felt uneasy about the dynamic, stating that he is “not thrilled” with how much time Garner and Affleck have been spending together.

Moving Forward

As Affleck navigates his life post-divorce from Lopez, it is clear that his relationship with Garner remains one of his strongest bonds.

However, while he may still hold feelings for his ex-wife, it does not seem likely that they will reunite romantically anytime soon.

Garner remains committed to her relationship with Miller, and her primary focus is on co-parenting their children with Affleck.

Meanwhile, Affleck is channeling his energy into work and adjusting to his new reality. Although he may be open to rekindling a romance with Garner, it seems that chapter has closed for her.

For now, their relationship remains one of mutual respect, co-parenting, and friendship rather than romance.

While fans may still hold out hope for a reunion between Affleck and Garner, it appears that the two are in different places in their lives. Affleck is open to the possibility of a second chance, but Garner is focused on her current relationship and family.

As they continue to co-parent and support each other, their bond remains strong, though likely not in a romantic sense.

For now, they are each moving forward in their own ways, with Affleck adjusting to single life and Garner embracing her happiness with Miller.
