Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have been divorced since 2015, but tabloids continue to link them to each other.
Even while Jennifer Garner and Affleck were dating other people, some tabloids still claimed that they still have feelings for each other.
Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck got back together last year?
Last year, Life & Style claimed that the exes were having a second chance at love. Back then, Affleck just celebrated his first year of being sober.
A source claimed that Affleck’s sobriety was what encouraged Garner to get back together with him. However, Gossip Cop previously debunked the rumor.
And this week, the rumor-debunking site revisited the story to reiterate that it was never accurate in the first place. Affleck and Garner never got back together last year.
But the A-listers continue to co-parent their three children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
Jennifer Garner took Ben Affleck back months ago
Around the same time last year, Woman’s Day claimed that Garner finally took Affleck back. The tabloid published their questionable story while the Peppermint star was dating John Miller.
“Jen and Ben are in a great place right now. A lot of people in their inner circle think there’s a good chance they could work things out as a couple again. Just because they’re no longer married it doesn’t mean it’s out of the question,” the source said.
Ben Affleck still allegedly loves Jennifer
The insider also said that Jennifer Garner was the love of Affleck’s life. After all, the mom of three stood by her ex-husband’s side throughout some of his hardships.
“Ben has been going the extra mile to show that he’s a devoted dad. It seems like he is finally realizing that he had a good thing with Jen but let it slip away. Ben would take Jen back in a heartbeat. It’s up to her whether she’d be willing to go down that road again. It’s taken a lot for Jen to get over Ben and move on. But at the end of the day, he’s a big part of her past, present, and who knows, maybe her future, too,” the source said.
Rumors debunked
However, the tabloids’ claims that the exes got back together at least twice last year are incorrect. Garner and Affleck didn’t get back together then. And even now that Garner is single, she and Affleck still didn’t rekindle their romance.
After all, the Batman v Superman star is now dating Ana de Armas. And there are reports that they recently moved in together.
As for Jennifer Garner, she’s still single. She and Miller just broke up a few weeks ago.
