How Jennifer Garner really feels about reuniting with Ben Affleck after his past betrayal

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have been spending more time together following his split from Jennifer Lopez last year, but sources reveal the actress is hesitant about rekindling their romance.

The former couple, who share three children—Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13—were recently seen embracing while taking their two younger children paintballing in Los Angeles.

However, an insider claims Garner remains wary of falling back in love with Affleck, citing lingering trust issues from their past. “She loves Ben but is worried that he will crush her all over again,” the source told DailyMail.com. The actress reportedly has “trust issues” stemming from Affleck’s affair with their children’s former nanny, Christine Ouzounian, a decade ago.

Garner, 52, has not been publicly seen with her on-and-off boyfriend John Miller since February 20, fueling further speculation about her current relationship status. Meanwhile, Affleck has been focusing on his fitness in Los Angeles, a stark contrast to his well-known habits of smoking cigarettes and indulging in donuts.

Despite her deep connection with Affleck, the Daredevil star is reportedly cautious about repeating the past. “She doesn’t want to heal another broken heart because it is just too much drama, plus she does not want their kids to see round two of their mom in a bad place with their dad. So much could go wrong if they reunite,” the source added.

In a 2016 Vanity Fair interview, Garner reflected on her marriage with Affleck, calling it “a real marriage” and emphasizing that she was committed to making it work. “No one needs to hate him for me. I don’t hate him. Certainly, we don’t have to beat the guy up,” she said at the time. She also admitted, “He’s the love of my life. What am I going to do about that?”

With Affleck’s divorce from Lopez now finalized, fans have speculated about a potential reconciliation with Garner. However, the actress appears to be prioritizing her emotional well-being and family stability over revisiting old wounds.
