14 DAY TRIAL // Almost 2 weeks ago, word got out in the tabloid media that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were very close to calling off their divorce, after she had gotten pregnant with their 4th child during a random one-night hookup.
Photos have emerged to (apparently) confirm that. Moreover, inside sources tell OK! Magazine that Jennifer and Ben have decided to give their marriage another try, and that the pregnancy has a lot to do with that.
Jennifer and Ben will work it out
The initial report claimed that, during a family visit to Atlanta, where Jennifer was shooting a movie, the estranged spouses spent the night together. She was shocked to find out she was pregnant but she wasn’t even considering getting an abortion.
Ben, on the other hand, was hoping this would mean he’d be taken back, and he had already started telling her that they should continue as a family, to raise the child together.
The photo above was snapped the other day, as Garner was running errands in Santa Monica. OK! has even more pictures and not only from the same day - and it’s convinced that the actress has a baby bump in all of them.
“Ben and Jen have been spending a lot of time together, and they’ve decided to keep working on their relationship. They want to see where the process takes them,” an insider reveals.
“Something is definitely going on,” adds another. “She keeps saying how exhausted she is, and she’s told a few very close friends that the only other times she’s experienced this kind of fatigue were the early stages of her pregnancies.”
These photos and insider accounts seem to give credence to the report that Jennifer forgave Ben for cheating on her with the kids’ nanny. It would also explain why she never filed the divorce papers, even though she rushed to announce the separation to the media.
A “food baby” or unflattering clothes
The Affleck-Garner separation was one of the most talked about splits of the summer of 2015, and not just because they were considered one of the most solid couples in showbiz.
They refused to say why they were calling it quits, but it later emerged that Ben’s infidelity had played a part. Apparently, they were having issues for some time but they were still trying to work things out through couples therapy, when he embarked on an affair with their kids’ nanny.
If they’re getting back together, Jennifer chose to forgive and forget about all that, but it’s likely that it wasn’t because of an unexpected pregnancy.
Paparazzi photos reveal that she usually favors flowy tops and unflattering sweaters that seem to add weight to her tummy section. If it’s not that, she’s probably carrying what is referred in the blogosphere as a “food baby.”
So until Garner or Affleck confirm this fourth pregnancy, take it with a grain of salt.
