There are some photos that have surfaced that have brought Jennifer Garner’s relationship with John Miller and her co-parenting situation with Ben Affleck all into focus again.

Photos of the Alias star and John Miller kissing were published in various publications. Page Six has termed the photos as “ionate.” The two lovebirds were caught mid-smooch in a rare instance of PDA near Miller’s Los Angeles home. The kiss has started buzzing around the rumor mills not just because of the timing, but because it’s wildly out of character for the usually private Garner.

Since Ben Affleck got divorced from Jennifer Lopez, there’s been plenty of talk about who he might date next, but one rumor that just won’t die is the idea of Garner getting back with him. Something that could be… complicated, considering she’s co-parenting and emotionally spot-cleaning for the former Batman as he continues his struggle with singlehood. She’s been fairly clear that she’s moved on from their marriage and is in a happy relationship with businessman John Miller.

The kiss put a damper on the speculation that Garner might be considering being the next Jennifer who gets back together with him. That speculation really ramped up in March when photos of Ben Affleck hugging Garner at a family event went viral. The two share three kids and are famous enough that even their side hugs spark dating rumors and think pieces.

Reportedly, back in March when those pictures of Affleck and Garner came out, Miller gave Garner an ultimatum on their relationship. He was apparently not thrilled by the limbo that’s defined their dynamic and has reportedly been in an on-and-off relationship with Garner since 2018. Miller’s been fine with the co-parenting arrangement, but sources say Ben’s embrace of Garner was seen as stepping on toes.

Page Six claims that the picture is not just a photo but a public declaration of who she’s chosen. The publication sees this picture as a direct response to Miller’s reported ultimatum. Ben Affleck, on the other hand, would apparently be open to giving his relationship with Garner another chance if the timing were ever right, according to sources. Those same sources, however, also offered a dose of reality: even Ben knows it’s unlikely. He’s apparently focusing on his new chapter now — ideally one with fewer surprise paparazzi shots.

The three’s relationship is pretty complex. Sources also gave Garner’s much-needed perspective on the matter. Apparently, the actress does not feel the same way about her ex-husband. As the kiss suggests, she’s apparently pretty happy with Miller. Garner has a great co-parenting relationship with Ben and would very much like to keep it that way.

This time, the background reporting actually aligns with the little public evidence that exists. The life of public figures is one long tightrope walk — every single decision and lapse is recorded and analyzed, not just by the public but even by the people closest to them. It’s good that Jennifer Garner has finally decided to use that power with intentionality.

Allowing your partner’s ex-husband into your life, seeing him spend holiday after holiday with her, witnessing their paparazzi pictures, and watching all this from the sidelines because you are a ive partner. Sounds like hell, doesn’t it? That’s John Miller’s life right now, and if reports are true, it is about to get much worse.

It is now almost a year since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez went their separate ways. At the time, it made sense that he would rely on Jennifer Garner, his safe corner in the world, despite their divorce. He sought the comfort of spending time with his kids and his ex-wife-slash-friend, who has been there for him in his toughest times. But even now, when the divorce has been officialized, the Good Will Hunting allegedly shows no signs of acknowledging that his ex-wife is in a pretty serious relationship that is probably suffering because of his constant presence.

What do you think can make it even worse for Miller? Affleck and Garner merging their professional lives as well.

As RadarOnline’s source, the actor wants to work with Garner again – they last starred as the lead couple in Marvel’s Daredevil. According to the source, he wants to star with her in a film and possibly produce films with her under his studio company, Artists Equity (which he founded with his friend and fellow actor Matt Damon).

“That friendship is going to make it very easy for Garner to work with Matt and Affleck’s studio, and even get some of her own projects done. She has a special voice as a filmmaker, with a gift for romantic comedies and feel-good stuff, as opposed to the dramas and thrillers Ben and Matt usually make.”

But as per the outlet, this is the opposite of the distance Miller has been demanding Garner bring between her and Affleck since he doesn’t trust his girlfriend will be able to fend of her ex-husband’s attempts to cross the lines.

“For Jen, working with Ben’s studio would be a no-brainer. Even if Ben blurs the boundaries between them, she knows where to draw the line. But that’s likely not enough to keep John happy.”

Miller, Garner, or even Affleck are yet to address the growing rumours around their odd dynamic. But since the actor broke his silence in hopes of ending Lopez’s victim image, maybe his newfound willingness to talk about his personal life will also allow him to explain why he is content being the third wheel in his ex-wife’s relationship.

Marvel might not have given Jennifer Garner a proper chance to be a superhero, but at the end of the day, it may have saved the sinking boat that was her, Ben Affleck, and Jennifer Lopez’s expired love triangle.

Now, rumors have been flying left and right about how broken-hearted Lopez has been over her split from Affleck and how Garner is all but ready to fall into her ex-husband’s arms. The latter sounds exceptionally impossible since she has experienced the unhinged and chaotic version of The Flash star, and one would think that would be enough to stop any errant thoughts of reconciliation in their tracks, especially when she has a beau like John Miller. As for JLo, she did what Garner has sidestepped – she got back together with Affleck after breaking their engagement all those years ago. She couldn’t be that eager to do it all over again for the third time.

So, that’s when The Post dug out a source who painted a much different picture.

“I’d say they’re both relieved to be done with him. Ben’s an emotional roller coaster. He’s even been reaching out to Jennifer [Lopez] again recently. The two Jennifers are actually friends. They bonded over co-parenting their kids. I don’t know why the press feels they have to pit women against each other.”

The source alleged that both Jennifers have learned their lesson and have no desire whatsoever to bring Affleck back into their lives.

But a clean break from the actor is not entirely possible for his two ex-wives. He has three kids with Garner, who are practically besties with JLo’s twins. And for the sake of her children, she needs Affleck to be on good with Lopez, enough to ensure that the “On The Floor” singer’s kids remain in touch with her three kids. So, even if Garner is not directly mediating the tense union, it is her kids – the ones she didn’t stop from mingling with her ex-husband’s then-new wife’s kids with her ex, 

As per an In Touch source, Garner and Affleck are “very sensitive to the fact that [J. Lo’s] twins Max and Emme are very close to Ben’s kids.” JLo has agreed to put their differences aside for the kids and is allegedly ready to give their co-parenting relationship a chance.

“If they can’t stand to be in the same room as each other it’s going to make that very tough, so they’ve agreed to do what it takes to get on better . Before they got back together they were genuinely friends and they’d love to get back to that.”

Now, exes putting on big smiles in public for the sake of cameras is common, but if we ever see JLo, Affleck, and Garner enjoying a quiet dinner while their kids interact and look genuinely happy, we will know the kind of compromises that went into making that happen.

Exes and their current beaus might smile, shake hands, and even harbor poiliteness bordering on uneasy friendship in public settings. But one allowing the ex-husband of his long-term girlfriend back in her life, to the point that he is practically living with her, where he is the one getting snapped with her in paparazzi pictures, and it has escalated to the point where the world is wondering if the boyfriend is even in the picture anymore?

No one is that accommodating and even though American businessman John Miller has officially kept his silence ever since Ben Affleck creeped back into Jennifer Garner’s life after his split from Jennifer Lopez. While the Electra actress might be his safe spot, even years after they went their separate ways — that involved a lot of dating for The Flash actor — Miller has reportedly reached the end of his patience since Affleck is still around after his divorce from JLo got finalized.

According to a RadarOnline report, Miller is fed up with Affleck always being in the house, from staying over at dinner to not even letting the couple have the holidays to themselves. This has been going on for a year, and while the chairman of the CaliGroup investment firm doesn’t want Garner to boot her ex from her life completely, she needs to have some “boundaries” since her attempts till now to keep her former husband at bay have been futile given his “neediness.”

“He hangs around like gum stuck to the bottom of her shoe.”

As per the outlet’s source, Miller is done looking like a fool and being the “third wheel” in his relationship.

“Jen and John have been having this same conversation for nearly a year. And no matter how many times she promises to handle things differently, she always seems to slip back into the same dynamic with Ben.” 

So, now, the couple is reportedly turning to therapy to deal with the hornet in their nest and come to with the negative feelings it has brought to the surface. The insider claims this was Miller’s idea since even though he loves Garner and has maintained infinite patience in this situation, this arrangement can go on only for so long before he “cracks.”

Now, as usual, take the revelations of this so-called insider with a grain of salt, and don’t hold your breath for Miller, Garner, or even Affleck to provide official clarification on the matter. But, if when next time the actress is seen in public and there is a Bruce Wayne-shaped void next to her, maybe, just maybe, someone really did get ticked off.

In February 2025, Bennifer 2.0, the hope of many hopeless romantics out there, came to a final and official end as Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce was finalized. But the rumors didn’t end — that of Affleck already putting the “On the Floor” singer in his past and picking Jennifer Garner, as well as not-so-quiet whispers that he left her to avoid bringing his “worst nightmare” to life.

Now, JLo reportedly claims the combination of these rumors or even the knowledge that her ex went running back to his ex the second they separated isn’t bothering her and is definitely not the reason she has purchased a $21 million mansion in Hidden Hills, California, that is a hour’s drive away from the Good Will Hunting actor’s home in Brentwood. This hefty investment comes at a time when the couple is already struggling to sell their Beverly Hills mansion, which they purchased for $60 million and have now put on the market for $68 million. 

According to Cara Ameer, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker, the ex-couple is selling at a loss since the price won’t cover the renovations they made and other investments in the house. What makes their dilemma worse is how they have not been able to find a seller even though it has been on sale since 2024. And yet, Lopez, who reportedly paid more for the mansion and is thus set to incur more loss, still went ahead and bought a brand new house.

Anyway, guess who else lives in Brentwood? That’s right, Garner.

But as per an insider close to Lopez, getting away from Affleck wasn’t the reason she purchased the new mansion. As shared with DailyMail.com, she simply “wanted to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city and have a more relaxed home life in Hidden Hills.” According to the source, it had “nothing to do” with Lopez wanting to put her past behind as she is “OK” with Affleck, Garner, and their regular paparazzi clicks.

But even if JLo did it all to get away from Affleck, it would be understandable as their emotional distance has done nothing to put a stopper on alleged comments from her ex that paint her as the villain in their story. As per a Radar Online report, the actor reportedly chose to end their “incredibly overwhelming” marriage since JLo’s lavish lifestyle was testing his “risking his sobriety,” which has already been on shaky ground since the late 2010s. So, apparently, to avoid this “temptation” and to ensure his “worst nightmare — a relapse” doesn’t happen, he walked away from the second chance they had given to their love story.

Jennifer Lopez is about to bring back the magic that made her a rom-com queen. After delivering cult classics like Maid in Manhattan, Monster-in-Law, The Back-Up Plan, and Marry Me, the singer-actress is officially returning to the genre that cemented her status as a silver-screen sweetheart.

J.Lo recently took to Instagram to tease her latest project with Netflix, a romantic comedy with the working title Office Romance. She shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos from a table reading, which she captioned, “This is gonna be a fun one.”

A post shared by Jennifer Lopez (@jlo)

Her post quickly sparked excitement from fans who have been waiting for her to do another lighthearted film. “A JLo rom-com? I need it yesterday,” one fan gushed, while another wrote that “the rom-com queen is definitely back!” Lopez’s last major rom-com, Marry Me (2022), was a hit among her ers, so expectations are high for her next project.

But Lopez’s big career announcement comes amid some not-so-sweet headlines about her personal life. Just days before her post, Page Six ran a story about her getting “furious” over the recent wave of cozy photos featuring her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, and his first ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

A source told the outlet that J.Lo, 55, was “not happy with constantly seeing photos” of Affleck and Garner looking closer than ever after her divorce from her ex. The Argo star and the Alias actress, both 52, have been spending more time together, co-parenting their three children — Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12.

According to insiders, Affleck’s warm interactions with Garner have been “like salt in the wound” for Lopez, especially since it hasn’t been that long since they terminated their marriage. Lopez and Affleck only finalized their divorce on Feb. 20 after two years of marriage, and sources claim she’s been struggling with the constant media frenzy around Affleck and Garner’s closeness.

A recent family paintball outing in Los Angeles, where Affleck and Garner were spotted laughing and hugging, has further fueled speculation around their bond. Lopez was close to Garner when she was still married to Affleck, so she must have had mixed feelings about their sightings.

Meanwhile, a different source told People that J.Lo has been so focused on her career that she has no time to actually keep up with what’s happening to her ex-husband. “I doubt she has even seen these stories as she is consumed with the film,” the insider insisted. “She has been fully concentrating on her life, her growth, and her happiness.”

As for Affleck and Garner, their dynamic has undeniably taken a dramatic shift ever since the former called it quits with Lopez. “[He seems] extra giddy lately, though, and much more affectionate,” one tipster told Page Six. “Garner doesn’t seem to mind. She enjoys spending time with Ben.”

However, rekindling a romance after their failed marriage might not really be in the cards for the co-parents. Garner has been dating businessman John Miller for years now. She only spends a lot of time with Affleck since they promised to maintain a strong co-parenting relationship when they divorced in 2018. Lopez was even well aware of their commitment when she was still in the picture.

Jennifer Garner is not playing when it comes to her relationship with her ex-husband Ben Affleck, and she’s making sure everyone knows it.

While the exes have been spending more time together following Affleck’s failed marriage to Jennifer Lopez, insiders insist that any whispers of rekindled romance are completely untrue.

Despite ongoing rumors, sources close to Garner, 52, recently stressed that she remains fully committed to her long-term boyfriend, CaliGroup CEO John Miller, and has no plans to swap out her current love life for a Ben 2.0 situation, especially after witnessing what happened to Bennifer’s rekindled romance.

Shutting down speculation that Miller, 47, was feeling rattled by the 52-year-old actor’s ever-present role in his girlfriend’s life, one source told Us Weekly: “Everything is fine with John and Jen.” The insider reinforced his statement by adding “those close to them haven’t heard of any issues.”

However, it’s hard to ignore that Affleck and Garner have been leaning on each other more than ever lately. Between the Argo star’s marital struggles and the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, the former couple’s bond has only grown stronger. If true, this could be the 13 Going on 30 star’s move to clarify her relationship status was seemingly her way to quash assumptions about where they stand and make it clear that their close relationship is more about family and not romance.

Garner shares three children with Affleck — Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Samuel, 12. Despite divorcing in 2018, they have maintained a rock-solid co-parenting relationship. At the same time, Garner has been integrating into Miller’s life as a father. The executive has kids from his previous marriage.

From the looks of things, Miller is also not threatened by whatever it is his girlfriend and her ex have despite what some sources claim. Before the wildfires, he was even thinking of buying a house near Garner. Although, of course, this is actually not that needed considering how he frequently visits or stays at her place. “[John] spends a lot of time [at her house]. He sometimes even drives Jen to set in the morning,” the source said.

Earlier in February, Garner and Miller were photographed sharing a warm hug in the middle of the street. The sweet gesture came just after several sources reported on how Miller’s allegedly uncomfortable with the time Garner and Affleck spend together — especially during Christmas, Thanksgiving, and other year-end holiday celebrations in December.

One insider told Page Six that the CEO was not “thrilled” by the frequency of communication between the exes. And though he is not convinced there’s any romantic tension brewing, he is still not at peace with how their setup is making him feel like the third wheel.

“It used to be solely about the kids, but John feels like it could be more than just about their co-parenting relationship. He doesn’t feel threatened in of Jen ever getting back with Ben, but at the same time it’s hard not to feel jealous when it’s clear they have a strong connection and friendship,” the insider added.

It’s easy to understand where Miller is coming from. Affleck and Garner have seemingly gotten much closer ever since breaking up with Lopez. It also does not help that they are always together because of their children and Hollywood projects. However, now that Garner’s pals are speaking up, it’s clear that she has her head over her shoulders, and she’s not looking into getting back with her ex-husband again.

While it is Jennifer Lopez proclaiming about giving love another chance in her life, Ben Affleck might actually beat her to the punch.

Ever since his split from JLo, Affleck had become a permanent fixture in ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s world, so much so that her current beau, John Miller, seemingly disappeared from her life, boasting almost believable whispers of him feeling like a third wheel in their three-tiered relationship. With Lopez and The Flash star’s divorce getting finalized, fans of Garner have been afraid that Affleck will be trapezing back into her life and bring back the chaos that eventually led to their divorce.

But reportedly, their worries were all in vain since the actor may have set his sights on a newly single Hollywood star — Jessica Alba.

The Dark Angel actress recently filed for divorce from Cash Warren a month after their split and 16 years of marriage. While it is crude and mostly insensible for her fans to start publicly daydreaming about her next beau as she navigated the aftermath of the end of her marriage, the divorce update has pretty much kickstarted this trend. But Alba might have their work cut out for them as according to a RadarOnline source, Affleck is gunning to build on their “undeniable chemistry” and take their “relationship” to the next level.

“They have a strong connection and whenever they’ve spent time together in the past, the chemistry between them is undeniable.

Yep, just like our wide-eyed reader digesting this in disbelief, I also didn’t know there was a “relationship” here to start with.

But evidently, there is. As per the outlet’s source, the Good Will Hunting actor has harbored a massive crush on Alba for decades which was reportedly a “well-kept” secret. Apparently, Alba and those close to her are well aware of his infatuation with the actress.

“In Jessica Alba’s circle, it’s no secret that Ben has had a longstanding interest in her for about two decades. However, they’ve never crossed paths at a time when both were single and open to dating…until now.”

Now, that both are single and have kids that are old enough (or as in Affleck’s case, live with their mother and her mostly her responsibility), it is evidently the “perfect moment” for their relationship to “flourish.”

Well, while Affleck can have all the interest he has in Alba – with whom his brother Casey Affleck starred in The Killer Inside Me — it is hard to imagine the level-headed actress pulling a Ben Affleck and jumping headfirst into another relationship so soon after her divorce. But anything and everything is possible in Hollywood, so those ardent Affleck loyalists who have already finalized his and Alba’s wedding day, keep your fingers crossed.

They say jealousy is the fear of comparison and it might be very applicable to John Miller’s situation right now.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner‘s current situation is widely known – the Good Will Hunting star is once again single post his split (and now a finalized divorce) from Jennifer Lopez. And in this trying time, he is once again (like always) leaning on his ex-wife Garner and their kids, which includes spending almost all holidays with her and getting snapped with the Deadpool and Wolverine star during several public outings.

Since, Miller’s girlfriend of five years, aka Garner, has gotten pretty close to her ex-husband, it has long been theorized that the man is probably not happy with the situation, especially since he appears not to be a part of their “family.” Considering that Affleck and Garner have an indelible past as husband and wife, it is expected that the businessman is probably struggling with the idea that the exes’ bond could get in the way of his romance with Garner.

As per a source and their hard-hitting words, this could very much be true.

An insider familiar with the situation told Page Six that the Cali Group chairman, 47, is no longer “thrilled” about the exes spending more time together. “[Miller] knows Ben and Jen have been leaning on each other more than ever lately and have a really close relationship,” said the source.

Although it’s justifiable that Garner, 52, has been consoling Affleck, also 52, over his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, 55, Miller still feels jealous. “Their growing bond is getting to be a bit much when Ben spends all the holidays with them like Christmas and Thanksgiving,” the source said before pointing out that this is making Miller flee like he’s the “third wheel.”

And it’s not just the holiday get-togethers that are allegedly making the businessman feel jealous over the kind of relationship they share. According to the insider, the former Daredevil co-stars now “text, call, and communicate far more than they have over the past several years.” With such closeness, it would be easy to understand why Miller might not be able to help but question his significance in Garner’s life.

“It used to be solely about the kids, but John feels like it could be more than just about their co-parenting relationship,” said the insider, who also pointed out that Miller is particularly not “threatened” by the idea that Garner and Affleck might get back together again. Instead, he is feeling jealous because of how the two Hollywood stars seem to “have a strong connection and friendship,” while ejecting him from their happy bubble.

Reports recently claimed the 13 Going on 30 actress and the Argo actor have been “spending more time together” as they have allegedly gotten “closer than they’ve ever been since their divorce.” Garner and Affleck were married between 2005 and 2015. Since splitting, they’ve decided to focus on co-parenting their three kids — Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12.

Their dynamics as co-parents shifted when Affleck rekindled his romance with Lopez and even tied the knot with her in 2022. But when Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in August 2024, things shifted again in a way that brought Garner and Affleck back together, not romantically, but their reunion definitely sent the gossip mills into overdrive.

It is only logical to take this source supposedly spilling Miller’s feelings with a grain of salt, but if there is even a shred of truth to these words, Affleck might see himself sidelined as Garner, despite harboring a soft spot for her ex, will most probably not ditch her beau for the man.

Ben Affleck has had some unexpected – and unwanted – guests to his Brentwood property. FBI agents and Los Angeles police officers descended upon his $20 million bachelor pad amid the chaos of the Palisades Fire, prompting speculations on what could connect the Hollywood actor to a federal investigation.

Photos captured on Sunday, Jan. 12, and released by Page Six a day later showed federal agents and cops swarming Affleck’s estate. While the sight of law enforcement outside the Gone Girl star’s home might suggest a scandal, the truth appears to be linked to the destructive wildfires ravaging the region.

“ of the FBI’s Ground Intercept task force are conducting activity in the area of the Palisades Fire relative to unauthorized drone activity. Agents and our local partners may be visible throughout the area, including at various residences, for this reason,” an FBI spokesperson was quoted as saying by the outlet.

But why Affleck’s home? Well, a source close to the investigation spilled to the outlet that the FBI was at the actor’s property searching for potential CCTV footage of a rogue private drone that reportedly damaged a super scooper aircraft. The firefighting plane had been battling the flames before the drone interfered, forcing authorities to crack down on such reckless activity.

When asked to comment on what went down when the authorities visited his house, Affleck’s rep declined to respond to Page Six. It’s not clear why officers chose the ant star’s home, in particular. Although, speaking of which, we heard he spent around $16 million more than the previous owners to purchase the mansion.

According to Robb Report, the estate was previously owned by David Calvert-Jones and his wife Karina, who paid roughly $4.5 million for the property in early 2010. Calvert-Jones is the nephew of billionaire Rupert Murdoch. Before the couple, Hollywood actress Maxine Cooper and her husband, producer and screenwriter Sy Gomberg, owned the house for about five decades.

Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time Affleck has been caught up in the drama of the devastating Palisades Fire. Just last week, he was photographed fleeing his home to take refuge at the residence of his first ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, also located in Los Angeles. The Oscar winner was snapped driving his black SUV to Garner’s house with his arm casually hanging out the window. Garner, who shares custody of their three children — Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12 — welcomed Affleck as his property remained under evacuation orders.

Affleck has since returned to his place since it did not suffer significant damage from the fire. Interestingly, the wildfire ordeal seems to have strengthened Affleck’s connections with both of his high-profile ex-wives. While Garner has been a pillar of during the evacuation, Affleck has reportedly been in “regular ” with his second ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, amid the crisis.

A source close to Lopez even said, “[J.Lo] has been checking in on Ben throughout this whole ordeal. [She’s] let him know she’s there for him and the kids.” Lopez still resides in the $68 million Beverly Hills property she bought with Affleck when they were still married. It can be noted that the former couple listed the property after J.Lo filed for divorce in August last year. Their divorce was finalized early this year. As per Realtor.com, since there are still no takers, Lopez continues to live in the mega-mansion with her 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme.

As the Los Angeles wildfires continue to consume everything in their path, Jennifer Garner opened up about the heartbreaking loss of a dear friend who tragically perished in the flames.

The 52-year-old actress, known for her roles in hit films like 13 Going on 30 and Deadpool & Wolverine, struggled to hold back tears as she shared her grief with MSNBC reporter Katy Tur on Jan. 10. “I did lose a friend, and for our church, it’s really tender so I don’t feel like we should talk about it yet,” Garner said.

Garner also touched on the broader devastation in her community. She described how many of her friends have lost their homes — so many that she could easily list a hundred families affected. The actress confessed to feeling a sense of survivor’s guilt as she walked through her own house in Brentwood, acutely aware of the safety and security she still enjoys while so many others are suffering.

“I mean, I can think of 100 families, and there are 5,000 homes lost. I can — without even [thinking] — I could just write out a list of 100 friends who lost their homes. I feel almost guilty walking through my house. You know, what can I do? How can I help? What can I offer? What do I have to offer with these hands and these walls and the safety that I have">Garner’s situation with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, who has moved back into her house temporarily after his own home was threatened by the fires.

It seemed too good to be true, and indeed it was. In the last two months, Hollywood stars and former couple Ben Affleck (Air, Gone Girl) and Jennifer Garner (Deadpool & Wolverine) have spent quite some time together, and fans of the couple couldn’t help but start speculating about whether their flame was rekindling.

But some bad news has arrived for BenJen fans.

According to InTouch, an insider close to the actress quashed rumors by bluntly stating that “They’re not getting back together.” The unnamed source also added that the stories have been a source of amusement for the Alias and 13 Going on 30 star: “Jen laughs off those rumors, even though that’s the Hollywood ending everyone hopes for.”

It would certainly be a Hollywood ending: Jen and Ben were married for thirteen years and had three children together. In the rom-com world (that both actors populated throughout their careers), they would realize they love each other seven years after their divorce, especially after spending so much time together like they are doing.

But it already didn’t work out once. Yep, we are talking about the ill-fated Bennifer that reunited decades after their failed relationship, only to part ways for good. In fact, if Affleck and Garner are indeed not plotting a romantic reunion, his choosing to still spend time with his former ex (while allegedly ignoring the expectations of his current ex to work it all out amicably) doesn’t really paint a pretty picture for Lopez, who is being shunned by The Flash actor in favor of his first ex-wife.

Hopefully, this is the extent of the insult Lopez has to bear.

During Thanksgiving, Ben, Jen, and their kids took part in an initiative called Midnight Mission, which serves free meals to homeless people in downtown L.A.’s Skid Row community. They wore matching aprons and, afterward, Ben ed Jen and their kids for Thanksgiving dinner. At the time, a source told Life&Style that the couple “developed a mutual respect” and that they were “closer than ever.”

However, the InTouch source suggests that their new level of relationship just means that they are taking the task of raising their kids seriously. The source went on to say that “Jen is still dating John [Miller] and Ben is very ive of that. Ben’s single and just taking life one day at a time. They’re far from perfect, but Jen and Ben are a great example of how coparenting should work.”

On the other hand, things don’t seem to be running too smoothly when it comes to his pending divorce from Lopez. The former Batman might not be parting ways as nicely as he could — or at least he’s sending the singer mixed signals. In a recent interview with British Vogue, J-Lo referred to some “hardships” during this process but also revealed that her approach to it is to ask herself what she can learn from the experience and “come out the other side better, stronger, more knowledgeable and kind of evolve and grow.”

Even though the new source has provided a grim update when it comes to the future of BenJen, we’re yet to hear from the ex-couple themselves. At the very least, the two are enjoying each other’s company, their dynamic works for their kids, and as far as we know, John Miller has no issues with it. As for the possibility of this tentative union evolving into something else, we’ll have to wait for time to tell. If Bennifer could happen after 20 years, what is stopping BenJen?
