Rumor: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are OVER

[marie]

She always look like a cold bitch to me and he is look (and from what pp say about him) very nice, so maybe the separation is her "fault".

All the pics that show her spend time with her daughter can be just PR pics so when the divorce will happen she will be able to remain her "sweet mommy" imagie.

Its a media/imagie fight and Ben realize that only lately when we start to see pics of him and the girl 2.

I liked them. They seemed normal and Violet is absolutely adorable. I seriously hope this is false.

They thought having an ex-boyfriend play the father of the baby when she was married to someone else just wasn't a great move, and everyone assumed that people only watched "Alias" for Garner. They got the surprise of their lives with that fan movement and the ratings drop.

As I understand it, they actually had to pay Michael Vartan more per episode than Jennifer Garner to get him to return for those final episodes of the fifth season.

Ken Olin has creeped my ass out since that Lifetime Movie where he beats his wife to death in front of their 3 year old - Dead Before Dawn, I think. He just seemed a little too convincing.

I agree with you, I like 'em and hopefully, this is about some other couple.

DAMMIT!!!!!

I take it you haven't seen him lately... he's been on a few episodes of Brothers and Sisters. Let me put it this way -- Michael Steadman is loooooong gone.

However, his wife, Patricia Wettig, is looking very good!

From this....


to this?

[LynnieD]

^All I can see is the first pic Novice--and thanks for it!! Ahhhhh.........THATS how I remember him.

Now I'm afraid.

[Novice]

its not bad, but it looks like a different person to me... I had to check the by-line.

[Chalet]

Wow Ken, drop 50 lbs. He still has a nice face. I liked 30 something, minus the whining.

Jennifer Garner? She's fucking Matt Damon

[LynnieD]

He's definitely put on a few pounds and not liking the goatee at all. But his wife looks GREAT!!

Thanks for posting pics Novice!

I'll just have to remember him on Thirtysomething.....

Ben's an ass and Jen's a bitch. A match made in heaven. If the rumor is true, it confirms my suspicions about them being married in name only. I think the scent was off the rose long, long ago.

Semi off-topic, but I can't think of Ben Affleck without thinking of this:

YouTube - Ben Affleck in his own frame

[LynnieD]

And where is Jimmy Kimmel in all of this??

[Novice]

My source said that he was a lady's man and liked the night life.... I don't see the lady's man bit myself, but each to their own....

I do think Jen and Ben are a match made in heaven in the sense of being enough alike to have a sense of familiarity but those same similarities could be what pulls them apart.

Both enjoy the lime light and being the center of attention, but Ben's negative experience with Bennifer I keeps him from making that mistake again. I've wondered if it bothered Jen Garner that he wouldn't do all the photo-ops on the red carpet and all; she seemed to enjoy doing them with Scott Foley and Michael Vartan.

She certainly has enough photo-ops with her daughter now despite all her protests (and I don't buy that it's unwilling- you don't see any other celebrity getting their picture taken with their child every other day, including ones who are bigger than her, like Julia Roberts).

Her complaints about his disinterest are telling, too, I think.

EXCLUSIVE: Rep: Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck Split Story "100% Fabricated" Wednesday June 25, 2008

A report by E!'s Ted Casablanca that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are considering breaking up is "100% completely fabricated," Garner's rep tells Usmagazine.com.

The E! report speculated a potential split was "the reason Jen and Ben are always seen cooing over adorable daughter Violet separately."

But Garner's rep tells Us: "There is not one ounce of truth to it."

Garner, 36, married Affleck, 35, in 2005. They have a two-year-old daughter, Violet.

"I don't know what makes [the relationship] work. But it does," Garner told Marie Claire last year. "One thing that makes it not not work is that we're both pretty nice."

"[Ben] is not someone who's ever going to blow up on anyone," she said. "What I mean is, if he's ever angry with me, he doesn't act out on it in a weird way or yell at me. And I am the same. So we can handle conflict in a very loving and adult way."
