Get ready to believe in true love again: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are back together!
That is, if you believe the latest report from Star magazine. Which you probably shouldn’t.
After four months of separation, Ben and Jen began attending therapy sessions together, and Star says their weekly sit-downs did the trick, and the couple is now planning to give their marriage another go.
“Now that they no longer live together, Ben has finally been able to vent his true feelings and frustrations,” a source tells the tabloid. “He’s not scared to say what he really thinks, and Jen is actually listening.
“It made him feel like he was always walking on eggshells around her, and he started to resent her for not letting him do what he wanted. He told her that in therapy.”
Apparently, a big turning point came when Ben apologized for his involvement with Christine Ouzounian, the couple’s nanny-turned-Ben’s-mistress.
“He sat her down and apologized for everything he’s put her through over the years,” says the insider. “He acknowledged that she’s always had to deal with the fallout of his selfishness, and he promised to try harder to be a better man.”
At the end of the day, of course, what really convinced Jen to give Ben another chance was the realization that she’ll probably never get another chance to be married to Batman.
“Jen has realized she’s never going to find anyone as great as Ben,” reveals a family insider. “Sure, he has his issues, but she says he’s still the kindest, smartest man she’s ever met, and she made a big mistake in letting him go.”
Well, it’s never a mistake to dump a guy who’s banging the nanny, but again – it’s important to remember that the dude is freakin’ Batman.
