AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner has once again stoked rumors of a possible reconciliation. Just weeks after his divorce from Jennifer Lopez was finalized, Affleck was caught on camera closely hugging Garner at a paintball range while celebrating their son Samuel's 13th birthday party.

The duo was seen getting quite cozy at the event, with photos and videos revealing Affleck's affectionate gestures toward Garner, including wrapping his arms around her. "They get along great. She makes him laugh like no one else can," a source told People, highlighting the chemistry between the two.

This renewed closeness comes after a reported tough breakup in 2015, followed by their eventual divorce in 2018 and his struggle with alcohol addiction. Despite these rocky times, friends insist that their bond has only strengthened over the years, with some suggesting that "they're closer now than they were when they were married."

While some speculate that Affleck might still see Garner as the "love of his life," sources indicate that Garner, who is currently in a relationship with tech CEO John Miller, is unlikely to rekindle her romance with her ex-husband although their latest cozy display seems to tell a different story.

While Miller does find their unique ex-couple relationship a bit uncomfortable, he respects their co-parenting dynamic. However, now that the candid footage went viral, it's unclear how it would impact Miller's relationship with Garner.

Garner's role as a supportive figure became especially evident during Affleck's emotional split from Lopez. "Jen was there for him through his split, and she will always be there for him," an insider noted, further explaining the irreplaceable bond they share.

Another source mentioned that Affleck and Garner have been spending significantly more time together, particularly amid recent challenging events like the LA fires. He briefly sought refuge in her house and reportedly helped her and their kids evacuate when the blazes were raging.
