Jennifer Garner quips she is dating Brad Pitt amidst claims she no longer wants a divorce from Ben Affleck
While the world has been watching the divorce of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie unfold, there is another Hollywood couple who have recently stayed under the radar with theirs -- Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. What might make things more interesting, however, is a possible romance between Brad and Jennifer, despite the latter reportedly not wanting her divorce anymore.
After working out in Los Angeles on Monday, Jennifer and a friend went for a coffee run. Outside the shop were a group of paparazzi, and the 44-year-old actress decided to have some fun with the situation.
“Brad and I are dating,” she jokingly told them. After a media member clarified her statement, she simply laughed. “Isn’t that great?” she asked.
Jennifer was making a joke, as even the paparazzi were laughing as she walked towards her friend’s car. Furthermore, recent reports indicate that the “Alias” star is even reconsidering her divorce from Ben.
A source of InTouch Weekly said that while Ben wanted to move the divorce proceedings along, Jennifer was having second doubts. "The divorce is moving forward -- their business managers are hashing out their finances right now -- and Ben wants to get on with his life," they said. "Jen started crying when Ben told, but he's had enough."
This report is only supported by an interview that Jennifer had in March with Vanity Fair. The mother-of-three not only called Ben the love of her life, but also admitted that she would marry him all over again. “I would go back and remake that decision. I ran down the beach to him, and I would again,” she said. “He’s the love of my life. What am I going to do about that? He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous.”
She did also, however, tell the publication that Ben is a complicated person. “I always say, ‘When his sun shines on you, you feel it.’ But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it’s cold,” she explained. “He can cast quite a shadow.”
Jennifer and Ben have been married since June 2005 and have three children together -- Violet, 10, Seraphina, 7, and Samuel, 4, The two announced their seperation a year ago.
