Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are getting ready for another baby!

The couple, who are parents to daughters – Violet, 5½, and Seraphina, 2½ – are "thrilled" to be expecting their third child, they confirm to the Associated Press.

Garner and Affleck, both 39, have both spoken of being hands-on parents. After Seraphina's arrival, Garner said juggling acting and motherhood gave her a "split personality."

"[I] feel like half my brain is somewhere else all the time, but when the camera's rolling, I pull it together and focus for two minutes," she said at the time, "and then I kind of turn back to a ditz again."

What did he do this time?

Maybe there is some sort of compromise... she wants babies, he wants the freedom he may get when she's busy with a pregnancy/newborn & a hoard of kids.

She's definitely been looking pregnant lately so not shocking. Congratulations to them. If nothing else, they seem to produce happy kids.

Aww I actually like them together! Congrats to them.

I will say when I first saw this thread on the homepage, I assumed they were splitting up...

I can't even fathom such an arrangement. I would resent the shit out of that. I'm no fan, but maybe they're actually happy together?

They have about as much chemistry as Liza Minelli and that douche David she was married to. Which isn't much.

Wasn't there a blind item about this?

Yes, and it was solved.

Celebrity Couple Is Pregnant But Not Happy | BlindGossip.com

SOLVED!

[BlindGossip] This celebrity couple is pregnant, but both parties aren’t happy about it.

She is all about the family. She loves children and would happily have whole gaggle of kids. But he is just not that into being a husband and father, and was looking for a way out of the marriage. In fact, he already had one foot out the door. Why? Because an ex of his is going to be back on the market soon, and he was excited about giving that relationship another shot. But with another bun now in the oven, he knows he would look like a total jerk if he left his wife within the next year.

Expect the baby announcement to be made within the next three weeks. And expect him to pretend he’s happy about it. After all, his many talents do include acting.

SOLVED!

It’s Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner! Source: BG

Wow, those three weeks just flew by, didn’t they?

The couple, married since 2005, have just announced that they are expecting their third child. And they’re not just happy. They are “thrilled”!

Ben and Jen already have two daughters, five-year-old Violet and two-year-old Seraphina Affleck.

Everybody got this one right, the first being MPaige! Congrats!

We’ll leave the identity of Ben’s ex a mystery for now, as we are quite sure that Ben is going to stay put for another year (and maybe longer if it’s a boy).

God how depressing would it be to be in that situation, with a whole family of kids (one on the way!) and both of them miserable about it all. Christ.

Or wait, it actually said he's the only one miserable about it. Still, what a shitty deal. I don't understand why she puts up with it. Why be with someone who doesn't want to be with you?

I'd say what he always does every time... Gambling, poledancers, you get the picture....

Or maybe he said he was leaving, since this (her with the kids) is the most publicity her "career" has had since she was in Alias

**funky_chicken** · August 23rd, 2011, 03:45 AM

and his ex, back in the market, would be Jennifer Lopez then?

**rollo** · August 23rd, 2011, 04:22 AM

Jenni from the block is available (sorta) but she has two kids herself and yes, he would look like a total jerk.

If they have done the sperm washing thing like the Beckhams, then he might stick around a bit longer.
