After Jennifer Garner was seen hanging out with her ex-husband Ben Affleck, her boyfriend John Miller apparently gave her an ultimatum.
An insider told me the CaliBurher CEO, “has always been supportive of Ben and Jen’s co-parenting relationship but feels Ben crossed the line.” The source said, “John knows there’s nothing going on between Jen and Ben, but he feels it’s disrespectful to their relationship and finds those pictures ugly.”
Ben was recently photographed tenderly holding Jen at their celebration of their son Samuel’s 13th birthday earlier this month. As the Hollywood diva concentrated her paintball pistol on a target at the Combat Paintball Park in Castaic, C.A., the Gigli star threw his arm around the waist of the 13 Going On 30 star.
Jennifer looked to be embracing Ben as he was dragging her into him. As they participated in the celebrations, the two A-listers—who also share children Violet and Seraphina along with Samuel—seemed rather close to one another and laughed and chatted it up together.
The Mirror has asked Jennifer and Ben’s respective teams for comments, however as of yet neither team has responded.
John reportedly isn’t “thrilled” about the two exes, married between 2005 and 2018, reconciling and spending time with each other. A source said John understands “knows Ben and Jen have been leaning on each other more than ever lately and have a really close relationship.”
“Ben spends all the holidays with them like Christmas and Thanksgiving, and their developing bond is getting to be a bit much,” the insider said. John regards himself as a third wheel.
Ben split from his second wife last year, and the Oscar-winning actor has been seen more with his first ex-wife.
A source told the Daily Mail, “It became extremely evident to Ben after he reunited with J-Lo that she was not ‘the one who got away,’” following pictures of Ben and Jen G paintballing. She was also not the love of his life. Jess [Garner] was. Jen will always be there for him; she was there for him during his divorce. They are best friends and share kids together.
