Untangling Those Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner Reconciliation Rumors

Ben Affleck isn’t interested in seeing about this girl.

After the Justice League star was seen holding ex-wife Jennifer Garner close while at their son Samuel’s 13th birthday party, there were speculations that their co-parenting relationship turned romantic. Their goodwill, however, is strictly platonic, according to multiple outlets.

With Affleck single once again following his split from Jennifer Lopez after two years of marriage, it’s no surprise that his relationship with Garner—with whom he also shares kids Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15—came into question following the March 2 party.

During the festivities, Affleck had his arm around Garner—whom he was married to from 2005 to 2018—during the paintball-themed celebration. But, multiple outlets emphasized that the pair are simply just good friends and focused on co-parenting.

E! News has reached out to Affleck and Garner’s reps and has not yet heard back.

Indeed, while Affleck and Lopez recently finalized their divorce, the 13 Going On 30 star has been dating businessman John Miller since 2018. Still, she and the Oscar winner have maintained a solid relationship since their 2015 separation. Along with being present at their kids’ celebrations like graduations and school performances, the exes also spent Thanksgiving volunteering in Los Angeles’ Skid Row neighborhood.
