Jennifer Garner’s partner has been spotted for the first time following her friendly paintball outing with her recently single ex-husband Ben Affleck.
The 52-year-old actress was previously married to the 51-year-old Batman actor for a decade before their separation in 2015, during which they had three children together. Despite their split, they have maintained a cordial relationship, co-parenting their kids. Jennifer even supported Ben during his breakup with Jennifer Lopez. However, a recent video showed them looking surprisingly close during a paintball session in Los Angeles for their son Sam’s 13th birthday.
In the footage, Ben was seen with his arm around Jennifer’s waist, displaying a level of intimacy while she focused on the game wearing protective gear. Despite Jennifer being in a relationship with her longtime boyfriend John Miller, the pair appeared like a couple in the video.
After the video surfaced, John made a public appearance to address his relationship with Jennifer, while Ben traveled to Austin, Texas. He was photographed visiting Jennifer’s residence, dressed casually in a grey T-shirt, jeans, and suede boots with a trucker hat. Meanwhile, Jennifer was occupied with work on her Apple TV+ series, The Last Thing He Told Me, filming scenes with a stuntman and a male co-star.
Rumors of a romance between Jennifer and Ben sparked after Ben’s split from Jennifer Lopez. Reports suggested that Jennifer had been acting as a confidante to Ben, with speculations about them spending holidays together. Ben relocated from his Beverly Hills home to a rental in Brentwood post his breakup with J-Lo, where Jennifer, his first wife, reportedly visited him frequently.
Sources indicated that Ben realized Jennifer was his true love after reuniting with J-Lo, and that they share a special bond as best friends and co-parents. Despite the affectionate display, it was clarified that Ben is not in a romantic relationship with Jennifer and respects her partnership with John. Their unique connection is characterized by mutual respect, with Ben reportedly cherishing Jennifer deeply.
