Jennifer Garner and Son Samuel Spend Quality Time Together as Ben Affleck’s ‘Imminent’ Marriage Unravels

Jennifer Garner stepped out in a sporty ensemble while running errands with her son, Samuel, in Santa Monica on Monday. The actress, 52, wore a dark navy sweatshirt and black leggings, completing her look with grey sneakers featuring neon orange laces. Her brunette locks were pulled back into a casual bun, and she shielded her eyes with sunglasses.

Samuel, 12, opted for a vibrant yellow t-shirt, blue Nike shorts, white socks, and green sneakers. Garner shares Samuel, along with Violet, 18, and Fin (formerly known as Seraphina), 15, with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, 51. The casual outing comes amid rumors of a potential divorce between Affleck and his current wife, Jennifer Lopez, 54.

Garner and Affleck’s paths first crossed on the set of Pearl Harbor in the early 2000s, but their romance didn’t blossom until later. In 2004, shortly after Affleck’s first broken engagement to Lopez, the pair started dating and eventually tied the knot in 2005.

They welcomed their eldest daughter, Violet, in December of that year. Fin joined the family in 2009, followed by Samuel in 2012. However, in 2015, the couple announced their separation after nearly a decade of marriage, and they officially filed for divorce in 2017.

Garner has since moved on and is currently in a relationship with businessman John Miller. Meanwhile, Affleck rekindled his romance with Lopez in April 2021, and the two tied the knot in a surprise Las Vegas wedding in July 2022, followed by a lavish ceremony in Georgia in August.

However, the couple has faced persistent split rumors, which began circulating in May. It was recently reported that they have hired realtor Santiago Arana from The Agency to sell their $60 million Beverly Hills mansion, which they purchased last year.

The couple, who have reportedly been living apart for weeks, purchased the residence after touring over 80 properties to find the perfect marital home for their blended family. Amid the divorce rumors, a source revealed that their realtor has been showing the house for around two weeks but has yet to find a buyer.

According to TMZ, the couple is asking for around $65 million for the property, which would result in a loss of millions due to the significant improvements they made. The outlet also reported that Lopez is already looking for a new house, while Affleck is staying at a $100K-per-month rental in Brentwood, close to his ex-wife, Garner.

Adding to the speculation, photographs of the couple’s marital home’s lavish interior have recently surfaced on realtor websites after being removed following the property’s sale to the couple last May.

Lopez also surprised fans by abruptly canceling the US leg of her ‘This is Me Now’ tour, citing the need to spend time with her children, family, and close friends. According to In Touch, the couple is in therapy, and Garner has been an unexpected source of support for Lopez, understanding the challenges of being married to Affleck.

The couple has rarely been seen together in recent months, and Lopez has attended several significant events, including the premiere of her Netflix movie Atlas and the Met Gala, solo. While Affleck’s absence was attributed to his filming schedule, he did find time to attend Tom Brady’s roast a day earlier.

While Lopez has consistently worn her wedding ring, Affleck has been spotted both with and without his. Last month, it was reported that Lopez has been confiding in Garner, as they share concerns about Affleck’s sobriety.

‘JLo has been confiding in Jen because she knows that she is one of the only people in the world who would understand what she is going through,’ a source told DailyMail.com. ‘She has been through it with the same man herself and although the circumstances were quite different, it is still the same man, and they both dealt with some of the same issues.’

The source added that Garner wants to help save their marriage, recognizing the positive influence Lopez can have on Affleck’s life.
