Jennifer Garner has some heartfelt advice for her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, following his dramatic split from Jennifer Lopez. According to insiders, Jen believes a dating hiatus could work wonders for Ben. "Jen thinks it might actually be good for Ben to take a break from dating for a while," a source exclusively revealed to Page Six, adding that she wants the best for him and sees this as a healthy step.
Despite her advice, Garner isn't trying to meddle in Affleck's romantic decisions. "She trusts Ben to make his own decisions and supports him either way," the insider shared. Garner, 54, has always been supportive, and her main concern is Ben's happiness and well-being.
Meanwhile, Ben Affleck isn't entirely closing the door on romance. Another source spilled that while Ben's friends are eager to set him up, he is currently swamped with work and family commitments. "He has friends who have offered to set him up, but he’s also incredibly busy right now," the source noted.
Affleck's primary focus is on his family and upcoming projects. He shares three children with Garner – Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel – and both parents have been seen co-parenting amicably. Recently, they reunited to support their daughter Violet during a health scare.
Despite their past, Garner and Affleck maintain a close bond, with an insider noting, "They feel very grateful that they have such an amazing relationship." Their ability to co-parent effectively is a testament to their enduring friendship.
Affleck's romantic history with Lopez has been a rollercoaster. After rekindling their early 2000s romance in 2021, they married in 2022, only for Lopez to file for divorce in 2024. Now, as Ben navigates single life, the focus remains on family and self-care.
