KEY POINTS

  • Jennifer Garner, reportedly, told Ben Affleck to keep Ana de Armas away from their children
  • The 'Elektra' star, allegedly, warned the 'Gone Girl' actor to never introduce his new girlfriend to their kids without her explicit approval
  • Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas are, reportedly, social distancing together at the actor's mansion in L.A.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were considered a perfect couple until they filed for divorce in 2017. The “Daredevil” stars were married for 10 years and had three children – Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, and Samuel, 8 -- before they, eventually, decided to split. Despite the shocking breakup, Ben and Jennifer have remained supportive of each other. In fact, the “Peppermint” star has, reportedly, been of great help when the “Good Will Hunting” actor was dealing with alcohol addiction.

Woman’s Day Australia, in its upcoming April 13, 2020 issue, suggested that Ben and Jennifer could be in trouble again after the “13 Going 30” star, allegedly, told her former partner to keep Ana de Armas away from their children. The entertainment news outlet reported that Jennifer instructed Ben to not introduce his girlfriend to Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel without her knowledge.

“Ben might be convinced that Ana’s ‘The One’ – but Jen isn’t so sure yet. She’s watched Ben have fling after fling since they split and doesn’t want to confuse the kids more,” the source said. “Jen feels the kids are at an impressionable age and have been through enough already. It’s going to take Ben putting a ring on Ana’s finger for Jen to believe she’s any different from the other girls,” it went on.

Us Weekly, on the other hand, reported that Jennifer Garner is very friendly with Ben Affleck’s new ladylove after they, reportedly, met a couple of times. “They haven’t all hung out with the kids as one big group. Jen is not there yet,” an insider told the publication. “There is no doubt that they will do dinners and hangouts with the kids when Jen is ready, but no one is pressuring her to jump into that,” it continued.

Both Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have yet to comment on these reports. However, with Woman’s Day Australia’s reputation for making reports based on the statements of its anonymous and undependable insiders, it could be another baseless report waiting to be quashed. Hence, devoted supporters of the ex-lovebirds should take these claims with a huge grain of salt until everything is proven true and correct.

Meanwhile, People reported that Ben and Ana are, currently, social distancing together. The couple, who spent quality time together in Costa Rica last month, has, reportedly self-quarantined together in the “Argo” star’s Los Angeles mansion. An informant even told the magazine that the pair seem to have a great time amid the global health crisis.

Ben Affleck, reportedly, looks incredibly happy around Ana de Armas. The tipster even shared that the pair has been taking almost daily walks together around the actor’s neighborhood.
