Ben Affleck’s Close Relationship With Ex Jennifer Garner Hurt Jennifer Lopez
Before the official divorce news broke, Ben Affleck was spotted returning from another weekend family trip with ex-Jennifer Garner.

This trip comes just days after it was revealed that Ben Affleck recently joined Jennifer Garner on a family vacation in Japan. It seemed just one slap in the face after the next for JLo.
To make matters worse, The Daily Mail reported that Ben Affleck looked in great spirits and had a noticeable glow about him. Jennifer Garner and Affleck have been spending a lot of time together since Ben’s split from Jennifer Lopez.

Despite Jennifer Lopez’s numerous attempts to reconcile with Ben, the insider states, “Ben hasn’t given her any signs that he wants to continue their marriage. She’s very disappointed and sad.”
So it now seems that Bennifer has closed another chapter in their long romance. Soon, they will each be free to move on with their lives and begin new relationships with whoever their following partners may be. Hopefully, the two can end things on amicable terms and remain friends. However, it may take a while before either of them is ready to dive back into another relationship anytime soon.
