There's a reason he's a movie star. He's got the rizz, as the kids say today. |
No doubt Jennifer wanted surrogate twins so Ben will be permanently tied to her with a family. All parties involved are too old to still be bitter over a love triangle from 20 years ago. It appears that Ben enjoys the circus he created with both women and doesn’t permanently disappear from sweet talking either. He’s happily lovey dovey with Garner now when a few years ago he blamed her for his alcoholism. He has serious issues. It’s obvious both Jens always called the paps whenever either were together with Ben’s mom. I’m going to reason his single mother is largely the reason Ben is very spoiled and immature as well. All parties involved (kids, mother, ex wives) have to check on him and make sure he doesn’t resort to drinking heavily. Taking care of an addict must be exhausting |
She seeks all publicity, even what should be private honeymoon moments. |
I guess but where are the boundaries? Why was he writing all those love letters to Lopez throughout the years? That’s very hurtful to Garner. Why is he parading around and vacationing with Garner and telling Garner his marital troubles with Lopez? Garner was in a committed relationship and engaged . Lopez was also engaged to A Rod when Ben slithered in her emails. What’s wrong with this man? Does he have some fetish about stealing taken women? |
There are even rumors he’s rekindled things with Ana de Armas who is also in a relationship. I just don’t understand who does this.
He’s from Boston. I know he’s heard of guy code. You don’t ever go after another man’s woman. |
Interesting take. I see it as a measure of how absolutely hooked on him she was (is?). She was willing to justify his dalliances and still marry him. Love goggles. This wasn't just PR motivated. |
But how does Michael Vartan fit in there? Supposedly Jen G left Foley for Vartan. Was that relationship just to coverup her relationship with Ben? I don't think so. |
Vartan was just a placeholder after Ben went public with and later proposed to Lopez. After the filming of Daredevil in mid 2002, Garner and Ben parted ways. By July, Lopez was public with Affleck after the June divorce from Judd. I think with movie stars, they tend to sleep with costars and it’s not a big deal. Angie and Brad did it and many others have too. Gigli was shot in December 2001. Jennifer was still a newlywed to Judd at this time and already wanted out and to be with Ben. Judd’s dad said “ went missing” during the holidays and New Years and told him she was working. Judd had to spend the holidays with his family alone as a newlywed |
Garner is messed up too, perhaps less so than Jen and Ben. She let her longterm stable relationship fall apart to bolster her ex husband who cheated on her and left their family. |
Maybe she jumped on Vartan the way Lopez jumped on Anthony when Ben left her for JG? |
2001 - Gigli, Ben and married JLO start sleeping together
2002 - Ben continues to sleep with JLO who is waiting for divorce, starts sleeping with Garner during Daredevil Spring 2002 - Ben decides to go marry JLO, JG starts relationship with Vartan Ben broke up with JL0, pursues JG who is sleeping with Vartan She ditches Vartan to be with Ben |
It gets even funnier than this. On the movie Jersey Girl, J Los role is cut in half after the Gigli debacle and in Electra, the follow up to Daredevil from 2004, Garner and Afflecks role are reduced after studio heads realized they were dating in fear of another Gigli. I will say the Gigli commercial and critical failure was a huge surprise to the industry. J Lo had broken box office records with Maid in Manhattan from December 2002. She was seemingly on top of Hwood but Gigli essentially got her blacklisted. Once she returns from the flop of Gigli and Jersey Girl, her comeback movie is Monster in Law with Michael Vartan (Garner’s ex) playing her fiancée. Of all the movies she could’ve chosen, she selects one with Vartan. It doesn’t seem like a coincidence. |
Wait - is Jennifer Garner still dating that business man? |
According to In Touch, not the most reliable of sources. The most consistent thing about Jen G is that she is really devoted to her kids. She knows that Ben’s sobriety is a huge positive for her kids, one of whom is just 12. She has put up with a ton (that drive through photo- legendary), and no doubt sacrificed opportunities personal and professional *for her kids’ dad* I don’t think Jen G wants to be with Ben romantically, but she’s definitely very committed to supporting his well being. I doubt we will get much information and it’s going to be a boring divorce, which is great for them but not so much for gossip. If we have to go back and fight about 2002 it seems pretty silly. |
It looks like between 2002-2004 Ben was going back and forth between these two, sleeping with both, while they were both cheating on/ditching their own partners to accommodate him.
I can't believe JLO went back to this mess, but I guess she wanted to seize the opportunity to show the world that Ben wanted her more than the woman he married. Btw, John Miller reminds me of Vartan. Not as attractive but kind of similar type. |
