Could a Bennifer reunion be in the cards? Not so fast, according to sources close to Jennifer Garner. While Ben Affleck is gearing up for his return to the big screen in "The Accountant 2," sources claim Garner is hesitant to revisit their romantic past.
Garner's Hesitation: A Heart Too Broken?
After a highly publicized split and years of co-parenting, the idea of rekindling the flame with Affleck seems daunting for Garner. According to an insider, she's "deathly afraid of falling back in love" with him. The source emphasizes a desire to avoid emotional drama and protect her children from witnessing any further relationship turmoil.
“She doesn't want to heal another broken heart because it is just too much drama, plus she does not want their kids to see round two of their mom in a bad place with their dad,” the source told DM. This sentiment echoes concerns surrounding the impact of their relationship on their children, especially considering past issues like the nanny cheating scandal.
Affleck's Return to the Big Screen
While Garner navigates her feelings, Affleck is preparing to reprise his role as Christian Wolff in "The Accountant 2." The original 2016 film saw Affleck portray a mathematically gifted genius with a knack for uncovering financial discrepancies. The sequel promises more action and intrigue, showcasing Affleck's versatility as an actor.
Protecting the Children
The focus for Garner appears to be on stability and well-being, particularly for her children. The source points out that revisiting a past relationship, especially one marked by challenges, could potentially disrupt the established co-parenting dynamic and create unnecessary stress for the family.
It seems that while the public may speculate about a reconciliation, Jennifer Garner is prioritizing her own emotional health and the well-being of her children. As for Ben Affleck, fans can look forward to seeing him back in action as Christian Wolff.
Whether these two can navigate their complex history and find a path forward remains to be seen, but for now, Garner's focus is clearly on moving forward, not backward.
