How Ben Affleck Really Feels About J. Lo, Jennifer Garner and Dating Again


With the dust finally settled following Ben Affleck's high-profile divorce from Jennifer Lopez, Us Weekly goes inside his life, relationship with Jennifer Garner and plans to date again

There to promote his buzzy new film, The Accountant 2, the actor — sporting noticeably darker hair — was relaxed and in good spirits as he talked onstage about the movie and joked around with his costars, including Jon Bernthal. A third tells Us that communication between the two is limited, but they’re “in a place where they know they can call or text at any time and be cordial.” Affleck’s kids and Lopez’s 17-year-old twins, Emme and Max (dad is singer Marc Anthony), remain close, even as “Ben and J.Lo have taken a step back from each other,” says the first source. They spent the holidays together with the kids (they were all spotted volunteering with The Midnight Mission in L.A. on Thanksgiving) and made headlines after Affleck playfully embraced Garner during a paintball outing for Samuel’s birthday in early March.
