Jennifer Garner may be closer than ever to ex-husband Ben Affleck, but sources claim she is terrified of rekindling their romance.
Jennifer Garner Struggles With Trust Issues
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have been spending more time together, sparking speculation about a possible reunion. However, insiders reveal that while Garner still loves Affleck, deep-rooted trust issues are keeping her from taking that leap.
A source told Daily Mail that Garner is “deathly afraid” of getting back with Affleck due to the pain he caused in the past. Their 2015 split was fueled by rumors of his alleged affair with their children’s nanny, Christine Ouzounian. Although they officially divorced in 2018, Affleck’s relationships, including his recent split from Jennifer Lopez, have only reignited talk of a potential reconciliation.
“She loves Ben but is worried he will hurt her all over again,” the insider shared. “So much could go wrong if they reunite.”
The exes, who co-parent three children—Violet, 19, Fin, 16, and Sam, 13—were recently seen hugging during a family outing in Los Angeles, fueling rumors about their status. While their bond remains strong, those close to Garner believe she is hesitant to risk another heartbreak.
Affleck and Garner’s Complicated Past
Garner has publicly addressed her feelings about Affleck before, notably in a 2016 Vanity Fair interview. At the time, she described their marriage as real and important but admitted that his betrayal deeply hurt her.
“I didn’t marry the big movie star, I married him,” she previously said. “He’s the love of my life. What am I going to do about that?”
Despite their past, the two have maintained a respectful co-parenting relationship. However, friends of Garner say she fears putting their children through another emotional rollercoaster if things don’t work out.
Affleck, on the other hand, has been focused on his career and fitness, following his rumored marital struggles with Lopez. Garner’s on-off relationship with businessman John Miller has also raised questions, as she has not been spotted with him since late February.
For now, insiders claim Garner remains cautious. She values the stability she has created for her children and is hesitant to let Affleck back into her life in a romantic capacity.
With fans speculating about the future of their relationship, only time will tell if Affleck and Garner will truly give their love another shot.
