When he finalized his divorce with ex-wife Jennifer Garner in 2018, actor Ben Affleck didn’t throw the notion of getting remarried out the door.
Since his split from his former spouse, Affleck has gone through a lot, struggling with drinking and resorting to medication to keep depression at bay.
The actor is yet to find someone to be with since he parted ways with the mother of his children but hasn’t given up hope as he disclosed in a recent interview on Good Morning America.
A close source has revealed that Affleck is open to the idea of settling down again, further saying that he is a hopeless romantic.
Ben is a relationship guy and always will be. He is not throwing the idea of ever getting married again out the door. There is no reason to shut that out of his life. If he falls in love with someone and marriage makes sense, he will do it. Someone right for him and someone that his kids would love is something that time will take, but he is, without a doubt, a relationship guy and loves romance. He is going to allow life to work itself out, and if that includes marriage down the line, then wonderful.
Ben is open to the idea of settling down with the right person and getting married again when the time is right. Ben has always been a hopeless romantic, and although his past relationships haven’t worked out for one reason or another, it doesn’t mean he’s given up on the possibility of finding love again. He’s in a really good place right now and focused on his career. But his number one focus is on his kids and his happiness, and he knows everything else will fall into place.
On the prospect of Affleck and ex-wife Garner getting back together, the source said:
It’s not going to lead to them getting back together, but it’s going to improve their friendship that they have been trying to work on while being co-parents. Seeing him fight his demons that she has wanted him to fight for so long shows that her words haven’t gone unheard. She respects him a lot more than what she has over the last couple of years. It is inspiring for Jen to see how Ben is changing his life for the better.
