Ben Affleck’s has a reaction to Jennifer Garner’s wedding, insiders say
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, who were married for a decade after meeting on the set of Pearl Harbor in 2000, share Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13. Despite divorcing in 2015, the former couple have maintained a close friendship, frequently appearing together at family events. Over the years, fans speculated about a possible reconciliation, fueled by their warm interactions.
However, those hopes appear to be over as Garner is going to marry businessman John Miller. According to Radar Online, friends describe Garner as happier than she’s been in years, with Miller serving as a steady part of her life. “John has been her anchor through everything. He’s steady, thoughtful, and brings her a calm she didn’t have in the past,” a source said.
The report says Affleck is finding it difficult to accept that Garner has truly moved on. A friend revealed, “For Ben, that realization has been painful – he’s always had feelings for her, and now he has to accept that she’s really moved on.” Affleck recently finalized his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
Affleck has reportedly called his breakup with Garner the “greatest regret” of his life. The outlet’s source says he continues to admire her as an “amazing mom” and values their co-parenting relationship. However, seeing another man with Garner has been challenging. “Ben understands that Jennifer deserves happiness. He’s putting his energy into their kids and trying to find some comfort in the fact that she’s at peace – even if that peace doesn’t include him.”
Jennifer Garner began dating John Miller in 2018, three years after separating from Ben Affleck. She has remained private about her engagement, though she was recently spotted in Los Angeles wearing a diamond ring.
