Ben Affleck is facing a hard time accepting that Jennifer Garner has moved on, says source
Ben Affleck and his ex, Jennifer Garner, separated in 2015 after a decade of marriage. The former couple finalized their divorce three years later in 2018. Post that, the actor got married to Jennifer Lopez. But they parted ways after two years of marriage and finalized their divorce in January.
However, now, the actor is having a hard time accepting that his former wife, Garner, has moved on and is ready to settle down with long-time partner John Miller.
A friend of the couple revealed to RadarOnline.com that the 53-year-old actor is “making plans for the wedding.” She is even telling everyone that “John is the person she was meant to be with.” But “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,” noted the source.
Even the “Daredevil” star has been “upfront with Ben and told him her future is with John. She still cares about Ben, but only in a family sense.” And Affleck “gets that – even though it’s painful for him.”
However, despite being separated, the former couple has always come together for their kids—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. He has even praised Garner as an “amazing mom.”
But with her new relationship, “he realizes her life is moving a different way, and accepting that has been absolutely heartbreaking for him,” those close to the star expressed to the outlet. But Affleck “understands that Jennifer deserves happiness.”
That is why the 53-year-old filmmaker is “putting his energy into their kids. “He is now trying to find some comfort in the fact that she’s at peace – even if that peace doesn’t include him,” added the source.
