Earlier this week a commenter emailed me the news that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner had gone to the Caribbean with their kids for Spring Break. This was reported by paparazzi agency X17, which had photos of them leaving a private plane. I didn’t report it because people don’t care, frankly. You guys would rather talk about Jennifer Garner’s skincare routine and I get it, so would I. Sometimes I find those two exhausting, but to be fair it’s nice that they’re still trying to get along keep normalcy for their kids. It was interesting, however, that they visited the same place where they got married according to X17.
Perhaps entirely coincidentally, there’s now news that Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus have split up again. Those two previously split in August and they got back together in early February. Just two weeks ago there were sourced articles in celebrity outlets claiming that Lindsay was “impressed Ben was sober” and that she worked as a kind of sober coach for him, keeping him away from people and situations where there was drinking. I guess that only went so far.
Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus have split for a second time less than three months after reuniting, multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly.
“She has a kid and an ex-husband and a job in New York and Ben has his family and a job in L.A., and while they love and respect each other, they just realized it wasn’t going to work,” an insider explained to Us of the Batman star, 46, and the 38-year-old Saturday Night Live producer’s decision to go their separate ways. “They really gave it another solid try.”
Though Affleck and Shookus’ second chance at romance didn’t work out, the source notes that the twosome “will always have love for each other.”
So Ben cheated again or drank again or was an ass again. That’s his pattern, he sabotages things. I was hoping Lindsay would come to her senses after Ben cheated on her with that 22 year-old Playboy model, but she didn’t and she took him back. I assume they had several go-arounds when they were both married to other people, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they reunited yet again after this.
Is Jennifer Garner still with that restaurant technology guy or is that over now too? Last week a source told US that Jen was still with John and loves that he is “not in the entertainment industry and is just a simple guy.” I’m not saying Ben and Jen are back together at all, just that I’d like to know some of these other details.
Ben and Jen out together on Tuesday. The photos of Lindsay and Ben together are from early March.
