I’m sorry to use Hiddleston’s name in the title like that so blatantly, but Star brought it up, not me! Star knows you guys love Hiddles. Plus it was the most interesting part of this whole fictional story. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were just seen out together with their kids earlier this week. I would bet they have a relationship like Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green only Jen is the Brian in this situation. Like they can’t quit each other and they’re in relationship limbo. Only Star says that when the family moves to England for Ben’s filming schedule, Jen will be hunting for a new man.
When Ben Affleck asked [Jennifer Garner] to move to England with their three children – Violet, 10, Seraphina, 7, and Samuel, 4 while he films Justice League: Part One, it wasn’t as big of an ask as her ex might’ve expected. “Jen agreed to the arrangement for their kids’ sake of course, but she’s also excited to take her search for Mr. Right overseas,” reveals a pal, adding that [Garner] has no plans to reconcile with Big Ben while abroad. “Jen’s a sucker for a British accent… She definitely likes tall, well-spoken and very handsome. Think Tom Hiddleston or Theo James, if he wasn’t already taken,” says the source. “That said, he doesn’t need to be famous.”

Star is so far off the mark with Theo James especially. That’s the guy from Divergent and He’s 31 years old! He’s too young for Garner and I don’t see her dating a guy who isn’t in his late 30s at least. This would never happen anyway. Jen has an image to uphold as the long-suffering mother and wife and she’s not going to date. I would love to see her step out with someone and maybe take a page from Kate Hudson and play the field, but that’s just not the type of person she is. Plus I don’t see her making dating or finding a new relationship a priority until Ben is fully out of the picture.
Over the weekend Garner celebrated her 44th birthday with a party of about 30 friends and a full marching band. She’s talked about the fact that she played saxophone in marching band and has called herself a band geek, so this must have been a cheeky nod to that. It must have been a lot of fun.

Back away from my husband, you, you, UGLY SHOE-WEARER!
“Hissing woman pelts beloved movie actress with rotten fruit at farmers market.”
And ugly shoes!
She’d only take those as a freebies. Best to stick with the fruit. I can hold your purse.
I ship Tomiffer! And they’re comfy shoes,why the hell not?
“Ugly shoe-wearer!”
This is ugly. I’m envisioning the fight scene between the Queen and Ripley at the end of Aliens.
Is that Jennifer or the shoes?
Love it!
You protect your future husband from that blatant hussy.
Call me when she’s caught canoodling with Rob Kardashian.
Good old, dependable Star.
I could see her going more for someone like Reese Witherspoon’s hubby than another actor. A man who is in the business, who is powerful, who is open to having children but may not have any of his own, and who may be a little bit of a lush (she likes someone she think she can fix).
Imagine if she ran off with Witherspoon’s husband. It would be the great Minivan Majority Civil War.
And I’d be so there for it!
That would be the most interesting thing either have done in years.
I know Theo has gotten engaged with his longtime gf, so nah. Also, I caught 13 Going On 30 last night on tv, and I must say I’ve always enjoyed her in that movie. Well, her and Ruffalo, obviously.
Agree! I tend not to love her real life persona, but she was great in that – love that movie! I can watch it over and over.
13 going on 30 is one of my all time faves! She’s just so good in it.
It is safe to say she will look for a guy that has a star quality higher than Ben Affleck…
Or she’ll die tryin!
“play the field, but that’s just not the type of person she is”
she is exactly that type of person, she just cant show it publicly anymore because of the image she created.
Oh very funny star. IDK, I don’t think she’s going to have that much luck with a high profile dude. She’s not a big movie star anymore. Her stock is in the mommy image. Who would want to deal with Afflec and the inevitable drama of him being her ex? I don’t think she has that much to offer a higher profile guy PR-wise unless they just want the drama. Or she finds a former
bad boy” she can reform into “settled down, step dad image”. The TH mention is just hilarious.
She won’t date until Ben has effing remarried or gotten someone pregnant or something. “Completely out of the picture” is right. He’s already moved on, of course. Plus after she declared him the love of her life and gushed and gushed over him, what man would even want to get involved with someone who is clearly still obsessed with her ex? It baffles me that people really think that she was the one to pull the plug on the marriage. Per Lainey, she would never, ever leave him…
I kind of wonder if Ben isn’t going to have some baby daddy drama come his way eventually, kind of like Ryan (Witherspoon; I can’t think of his last name) but maybe not quite as friendly as that one. Ben Affleck will remarry when he thinks that is image is going to need a boost, but not before then. He will have a bunch of very casual, low key hookups in the vain of Tiger Woods- Hooters’ employees, cocktail waitresses, production assistants, maybe someone a little C list like Nina Dobrev, but nothing very serious. But then,boom, there will be a story that he will try to shut down from a woman claiming she is carrying Affleck’s child, and she likely will be.
Hooter’s girls and waitresses, the kind that go to rag mags? I think you’re dreaming. Ben will hook up with the likes of actresses and people that can be discreet. He wants his name out of the rag mags and has done a good job of it since nannygate. He won’t make the same mistake twice.
I can see him and Kate Beckensale having a nice little affair behind the scenes since hey are both single now but don’t want rag mag drama, or someone like her.
@Jayna- The only thing I have ever agreed with Goopy on is that Ben’s type is a girl in bikini holding a Budweiser. I think he has had and will continue to have plenty of strange.
She looks stunning in that top photo. Hell, I’ll date her. I have a pretty good pretend British accent, although the good Brits of celebitchy would probably laugh at me.
Seriously agree about that top photo! That’s the first one in a long time that I’ve thought DAMN she looks fierce. Bring more of that flavor, Jen!
She looks great in the header photo but I always think she is looking great for Ben. I just don’t think she wants out. Once the stress is gone, he most likely acts more easygoing and nicer. She won’t leave him until she absolutely has to.
Yup, her theme song is basically “And I am telling you I’m not going.” from Dreamgirls. She deserves better, but wants Ben because somehow she feels he’s the best she can get.
The Hiddleston thing is hilarious. It almost sounds like the work of some well-meaning but meddling great-aunt. “Jen, you have to get yourself out there; it’s time! How about that nice Tom Hiddleston — he’s cute and always seems so polite. Tell you what — I’ll get the ball rolling by calling Star Magazine and letting them know you’re interested.”
So true, lol.
They’ll be back together in a few months. Who gets a divorce and continues to live in the same house?! He was photographed dropping her off at the gym yesterday.
I didn’t see those pics, where are they?
He has his own place.
They both looked pretty relaxed this morning taking Sam to breakfast. A HUGE difference from pics taken last week.
Just Jared seems to have the full set of gym pics from Thursday. She arrived in an SUV with her blonde female friend. No Ben.
The gym pictures are on The Superficial. Ben left her at the gym in his silver car and she was grinning from ear to ear. She left and drove to get coffee with her blonde friend in a black SUV.
When is she not grinning from ear to ear? The weekend they announced their divorce she was out with the kids in ATL, smiling like nothing was wrong. He looks like he had to wait to vape until she got out of the car, then it was a big relief. Why do these two even bother…
Agree with @magnoliarose. She ain’t leavin’ anytime soon! She never wanted to in the first place, and now Ben is sort of in purgatory. He’s seen her emerge as the sympathetic, relatable woman-scorned from this self-inflicted public drama with more attention on her now than in the last decade, and she’s putting on the strong, independent act – “working on herself” – which I think, given his personality, probably makes her supremely attractive to him all of a sudden. I repeat this a lot, I know, but I’m pretty sure they’ll come back from Europe in “back together” mode. The VF article was a smart move on her part, and I’m sure it was intentional – it pretty much made it next to impossible for him to move on without looking like a massive ahole considering he’s the “love of her life”. Shes probably trying to act cool, play the field with Ben, but ultimately she’s not looking for anyone to date anytime soon – she’s keeping her territory marked. I predict these two will continue to stay locked in their cycle of dysfunction. But let’s be real – there’s still absolutely no way she trusts him, so they’ll probably stay together until the next time he screws up, because she won’t be able to take much more public humiliation at that point. And that could be a while – years – since all eyes are on Ben right now, waiting for his next move, and he knows it. That’s my psychoanalysis anyway. 🙂
If her intention is to get him back and still look good publicly, then the VF article was NOT a good idea. She should have been “No comment” all the way, not engaging in some kind of Divorce Tour. She will look incredibly weak and stupid if she took him back after all this. Besides, you forget that they had been together for 10+ years. He knows her little “strong, independent” act is just that — an act. He hasn’t kissed her in how long now? A year? That is an irretrievably broken relationship, sis.
Eh. There are hoards of people out there in the minivan majority that are rooting for her to give him another chance and for them to get back together. And as far as being kissed, I don’t really believe everything that comes out of these people’s mouths, but even if it’s true, the interview for that article was probably conducted back in Dec/Jan – anything could have changed by then.
Although I will add, CB says she bets they have a relationship like BOG and Megan Fox. No way. Can’t see it AT ALL. These two might not be able to quit each other, but if so, I think it’s for very different reasons. Nothing to do with passion, lust or sexual chemistry. Can’t see that at all – haven’t seen a glimmer of it in many years. But JMO.
@JoJo I just don’t believe that he wants to get back with her. He can’t keep it in his pants, I’ve read in so many places that she would nag him and would jump on him as soon as he came home, etc. I’ve also heard that he’s been sleeping at friends’ homes and in hotels on and off for years. There’s zero trust between them — she would have to monitor him constantly, and why would she want to live her life that way, and why would he want her to be analyzing his every move? I think her happy state right now is due to the fact that both have moved on and she’s no longer his babysitter. I’d only believe that they were getting back together if they started wearing their rings again. It just strikes me as far too toxic of a relationship and now so much of their separation has been splashed all over the media (by them). I think it’s totally over and they are working out the logistics.
Maybe. But really, how long can this go on? If you believe what has been said, they’ve now been separated for over a year. At least one of them would want to start moving on with their life by now. Are they going to spend the rest of their lives like this? Doing everything together? Kind of weird. Seems like they spend more time together now than they did before. There’s no way they can move on with their personal lives like this. How long does it take to get divorced? No one has filed. What’s the holdup if they’re planning to move forward with a divorce. I think Jen can’t get past being a “good Garner girl.” This divorce is just not in her. In her mind, she’s never going to find the same intellect, wit and charm in another man, and I also can’t see her wanting to start fresh at 44. I just don’t see that in her. I think she’ll stay with him. And I don’t necessarily think he wants to be with her as a wife – but I think he wants the family life, or the idea of it, and he also likes to maintain that public image.
@Jojo Well, that perfect family image is already blown. He cheated with the nanny, some co-stars, randoms and who even knows how many others. Everyone knows about it, too. Their marriage is now just fodder for people like Ricky Gervais. So, if one or both of them is clinging to this relationship because they think they’re fooling people, …nah. Everyone knows the truth.
Real life Gone Girl with this couple.
