Ben Affleck “would love another chance” with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, a source exclusively tells Page Six.
The “Justice League” star “would definitely be open to giving things another shot with Jen if the timing is ever right,” the insider adds.
“At the same time, Ben knows it’s just not realistic at this time in their lives.”
“Ben just got out of a marriage and finalized his divorce [from Jennifer Lopez], he is really busy with work and is focused on this new chapter,” the source explains.
“Plus, Ben respects Jen’s relationship with John [Miller] and would never come between them.”
A second insider tells us, “The feeling is not mutual on Jen’s side. She’s happy with John and that’s just not where her head is at. She has a great co-parenting relationship with Ben, and that’s where things stand on her end at the moment.”
The “13 Going on 30” actress and Miller, 47, have been dating on and off since 2018.
Reps for Affleck and Garner did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
The exes, both 52 — who were married for 10 years from 2005 until 2015 — were spotted giggling as they celebrated their son Samuel’s 13th birthday on Sunday.
The “Daredevil” co-stars looked happy as they laughed and chatted while participating in the festivities at a paintball park in Los Angeles.
We previously reported that Affleck and Garner — who also share kids Violet, 19, and Seraphina, 16 — “are closer than they’ve ever been since their divorce.”
“Particularly since Ben’s divorce from [Lopez] and with the LA fires and everything going on,” the two “have found themselves leaning on each other more than ever,” an insider told us in late January.
Meanwhile, a separate source previously told Page Six that Garner’s longtime boyfriend was not “thrilled” about the actress spending more time with the “Gone Girl” actor.
Miller “knows Ben and Jen have been leaning on each other more than ever lately and have a really close relationship,” the insider said.
“Their growing bond is getting to be a bit much when Ben spends all the holidays with them, like Christmas and Thanksgiving. John feels like a third wheel.”
