Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are moving closer and closer to getting engaged again, and Entertainment Tonight got intel from a source about how Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner feels about that.
A source told the outlet that it’s a matter of when, not if, Affleck will pop the question to Lopez again. Lopez and Affleck originally got engaged in November 2002. They ultimately postponed their wedding in September 2003, a day before the ceremony was supposed to happen. They broke up in January 2004 before rekindling their romance last spring.
“Ben and Jen can’t wait to spend the rest of their lives together and know that they were destined to be together,” the source said. “An engagement is on the table and it has been an ongoing conversation.”
“They actively talk about what didn’t work in the past and use those experiences to strengthen their relationship now, for the future and for the sake of themselves and their families,” the source added. “They are committed to having a healthy, everlasting relationship.”
As for Garner’s feelings about Lopez and Affleck’s serious and escalating romance? She is fine with it. “Jen Garner and Ben get along well. She is understanding and supportive of Jen and Ben’s relationship,” the source said. “She knows Ben is doing well all around and at the end of the day, she just wants what’s best for the kids and for things to be seamless and unproblematic. She wants everyone to be happy and healthy and her kids are always the priority. Everyone is feeling good at this point and looking forward to the future.”
