Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner remain close, but sources confirm they are just friends. According to a recent In Touch report, speculation about a possible romantic reconciliation between the former couple has been fueled by their affectionate interactions. A source told the outlet that their recent embrace appeared “very flirtatious, and some even interpreted it as a steamy embrace.”
“That, plus the way they were both smiling and laughing after, has led many fans to speculate that they’re going to get back together—if they haven’t already,” the source added. The insider emphasized the strong bond between the Daredevil co-stars, noting, “They’ve come a long way, and it’s no secret that his relationship with his first wife is better than ever.”

Despite their affectionate gestures, the source insists their connection is purely platonic. “They have so much affection for each other,” the insider shared. “Yes, they hug and touch each other a lot, but it’s just because they’re really comfortable with each other.”
Affleck and Garner, who share three children, have maintained a close co-parenting relationship even after their divorce. The source acknowledged that their shared experiences—particularly navigating Affleck’s past struggles with addiction—have strengthened their bond over the years.
