Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been working through their divorce. JLo filed the papers to officially end the marriage back in August. The couple were married for just two years before calling it quits. However, the Batman star may already be looking to move on. He’s reportedly enlisted the help of his first wife, Jennifer Garner, so that he can find the perfect partner. Following a second divorce, it seems that Affleck could use some help when it comes to his love life. Who better to help him than his former wife, who knows him better than most?
Sources tell the November 25 edition of Globe Magazine that Ben Affleck is turning to Jennifer Garner to help him get back into the dating game. The actor reportedly wants to move on following his failed reunion with Jennifer Lopez. However, he has a very specific vision for what he wants his next relationship to look like.
An insider claims that Affleck is ready for a more mature romance. He also wants a woman who will respect his sobriety. He’s allegedly putting his foot down when it comes to celebrity divas. Since Garner is known for her down-to-earth persona, it’s not surprising that Affleck would want her input when it comes to his love life. In addition, the pair share three children together, Violet, Fin, and Samuel. So, Ben’s love life impacts Jen as well.
Ben Affleck Looking To Jennifer Garner Amid Jennifer Lopez Divorce
“[He] is on the hunt for someone grounded and mature. He’s had enough of the Hollywood divas and gold diggers,” the source stated. “He’s ready for something real, and he feels like Jennifer is great at cutting through the BS and sniffing out genuine people. He figures she’ll be able to match him up with someone suitable.”
For her part, Jennifer Garner is said to be helpful when it comes to Ben Affleck’s request. She allegedly believes that she can help him find someone suitable for his personality. In addition, the pair have remained friends since their divorce and through his marriage to Jennifer Lopez. Garner reportedly wants to see her ex-husband happy and will do whatever she can to help him achieve his relationship goals.
“She wants to see Ben happy, and loves that she’ll get to have a say because whoever he dates is going to be around her kids,” the informant continued. “Ben is very needy, and Jennifer can never say no to him. If he’s got a healthy relationship, it’s going to make her life a whole lot easier.”
Meanwhile, Affleck may have a long way to go until he’s officially free of Lopez. Ben and JLo’s divorce is still in the works. It was reported that the pair didn’t sign a prenup before tying the knot. Now they’re going through some red tape to end the marriage. In addition, they still haven’t sold their lavish Beverly Hills mansion.
Only time will tell how Ben Affleck will proceed following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. However, with Jennifer Garner by his side to advise him, he’s got a good friend and anchor that he can count on.
