Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner Play Paintball (Again) For Son's Birthday

Last weekend, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were photographed at Combat Paintball Park in California, though these photos are a lot less loved-up than last year's. In this year's photos, the pair can be seen walking side by side holding their paintball gear, with Affleck looking straight ahead and Garner keeping her head down.

A stark contrast to last year's photos, in which the pair stood leaning against one another. In those photos, Garner prepared to take aim while Affleck looked over her shoulder in the other direction, his arms wrapped tightly around his ex-wife's waist. The rumors then are basically the same as they are now: Ben Affleck wants another chance.

Ben Affleck Wants Another Chance With Jennifer Garner

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner married in 2005 and stayed together for over a decade, divorcing in 2018. They share three children together, Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 14, and have maintained a close co-parenting relationship. Since getting divorced, Affleck has married (and divorced) Jennifer Lopez, and remains single as of now. Garner is rumored to be engaged to her on-again-off-again boyfriend John Miller, though no engagement has been confirmed.

Despite all that, there are still rumors that Ben Affleck wants another chance with Jennifer Garner, fueled mostly by fans who see them together and immediately take to social media, writing tweets like, "He definitely wants another chance with her," and "Time to flip flop back to Garner now that the divorce dust has settled on Lopez!"
