Affleck appeared to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/jennifer-garner-putting-focus-back-ben-affleck-debacle-planning-wedding-paris-source-says.html/”>seek comfort from Garner</a> as he and Lopez went through their split.

Recently, Affleck finally opened up about his divorce from Lopez — and he might’ve subtly shut down any romance rumors surrounding him and Garner.</p>

<p id=”par-2_69″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/seeing-photos-ben-affleck-jennifer-garner-jennifer-lopezs-final-straw-source-says.html/”>Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner</a> have a long history. The couple tied the knot in 2005 and separated in 2015 before finalizing their divorce in 2018. They have three kids together and maintain a friendship for their family’s good. During Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s split, Affleck was spotted frequently visiting Garner and spending time with her, prompting suspicion that he misses the connection he once had with his ex.</p>
<p id=”par-3_46″>Affleck isn’t one to speak to the media about his personal life. However, in March 2025, he opened up to <a href=”https://www.gq.com/story/inside-ben-afflecks-plan-to-remake-hollywood” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>GQ</a> about the rumors. He didn’t directly reference the rumors surrounding him and Garner, but he may have subtly hinted that they’re nothing more than friends.</p>
<p id=”par-4_86″>“There’s nothing newsworthy at all about the day-to-day events of my life or the conversation I have with one person or another person that’s photographed,” the actor said. “And often it’s like the big trick is to say <em>so-and-so does this amid that,</em> imply some correlation between the two. In other words, some broad event is taking place in some way, whether globally or around this person’s life. And look, here they are frustrated with the parking meter. I’m definitely aware of the cosmic joke of it all.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_38″>Affleck noted that he knows “what’s going on” in his own life, as do his children. As for Garner, he calls her “a really good co-parent and partner … who’s wonderful and great and we work together well.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_26″>“My life is actually pretty drama-free,” Affleck continued, noting that even his divorces haven’t involved the level of drama the media leads people to believe. </p>

<p id=”par-7_48″>Photos of Ben Affleck playing paintball with Jennifer Garner went viral in early 2025. The couple had a birthday party for their 13-year-old son, Samuel. In one clip, Affleck appears to grip Garner’s waist in a way that appeared more than just a friendly embrace between exes. </p>
<p id=”par-8_49″>Celebrity psychic and body language expert Inbaal Honigman via <a href=”https://www.casino.org/us/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Casino.org</a> said the exes’ “direct eye contact highlights mutual attentiveness and honesty.” <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/ben-affleck-jennifer-garners-recent-body-language-shows-mutual-attentiveness-expert-says.html/”>Affleck looked “fully engaged” in Garner</a> during their interaction while Garner “remained alert” in the game. “Ben’s undivided attention on Jen emphasizes his interest in her over the game,” Honigman said.</p>
<p id=”par-9_27″>“The moment Ben reaches out to touch Jen isn’t romantic, but it underscores their closeness,” the expert stated. “… His focus isn’t on the game; it’s entirely on Jen.”</p>
<h2 class=”wp-block-heading” id=”h-an-insider-alleged-that-jennifer-garner-s-ex-has-become-a-third-wheel-in-her-romance-with-john-miller”>An insider alleged that Jennifer Garner’s ex has become a ‘third wheel’ in her romance with John Miller</h2>
<p id=”par-10_61″>Jennifer Garner has been dating John Miller since 2018 — the year she and Ben Affleck finalized their divorce. Garner and Miller have had their ups and downs, but they’re going strong in 2025. However, Garner’s close friendship with Affleck might give Miller pause. An insider told <a href=”https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/ben-affleck-is-jennifer-garner-and-john-millers-3rd-wheel-excl/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>In Touch Weekly</a> that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/john-miller-asked-jennifer-garner-photo-ben-affleck-paintballing-source-says.html/”>Miller feels “a little concerned” with Garner and Affleck’s friendship</a>.</p>
<p id=”par-11_74″>“Jen is very happy with John, but it’s no secret that Ben has become the third wheel in their relationship,” the insider alleged. “John is very secure in what he has with Jen; he doesn’t usually sweat it, but you can’t blame him for being a little concerned by her close relationship with her ex, especially when friends constantly come up to him and ask him what’s going on with Jen and Ben.” </p>
<p id=”par-12_23″>The insider alleged that Miller asked Garner about the paintball photos between her and Affleck, but it didn’t turn into a big confrontation.</p>
