Ever since Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner separated back in the summer of 2015, new rumors of their reconciliation have seemed to surface weekly.
Normally, we’d be eager to see the tabloids and social media give up on that narrative, but we have to admit:
These two have given the world ample reason to believe they’re on the verge of getting back together.
For starters, it’s been 18 months since they separated, and neither Affleck or Garner has filed for divorce.
On top of that, sources say Affleck is still living with Garner.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the same thing that it would for most couples, as the Afflecks co-habit on a sprawling multi-acre estate in separate buildings.
But if this latest rumor is true, well … Ben and Jen might as well just make it Facebook official and quit toying with us.
Radar Online is reporting today that Garner is pregnant with Affleck’s baby.
If the rumor is true (big if), it would be the couple’s fourth child.
Obviously, neither Ben nor Jen has confirmed the reports, but Radar isn’t the first outlet to make this claim.
It seems unlikely, but hey – a year ago it would’ve seemed unlikely that Ben and Jen would still be living together.
“Jen couldn’t be happier,” a source tells the site.
“All she’s ever wanted is for Ben to stop boozing and partying — and to recommit to their family. With this new baby on the way, he’s making all the right promises.”
The “insider” adds that Jen kicked Ben to the curb after finding out about his affair with Christine Ouzounian, but she never had any desire to legally end their marriage.
“While Jennifer called it quits, she never wanted a divorce,” the source claims.
“Jen wants them to be a real family again — and they can, if Ben quits acting like a 20-year-old trapped in a 40-year-old’s body.”
So Ben stopped getting sh-tfaced every night and banging nannies, so Jen thinks it’s an ideal time to have a baby?
Sounds like a great idea.
What could go wrong – ya know, besides absolutely everything?
