Ben Affleck Seeks Refuge with Ex-Wife Jennifer Garner as Wildfires Ravage Los Angeles
In a dramatic turn of events, Ben Affleck has evacuated his luxurious mansion amid the devastating wildfires that are wreaking havoc in Los Angeles. The acclaimed actor has found shelter in the home of his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, as the fires continue to threaten the region.
According to reports, Affleck decided to leave his sprawling $20 million property and head to Garner’s nearby residence. The exact reason for his move remains unclear—whether he is simply checking on his family or considering a longer stay at Garner’s home. The former couple, who were married from 2005 to 2018, share three children: Violet, 19; Fin, 15; and Samuel, 12.
Affleck’s Pacific Palisades mansion features five bedrooms and six bathrooms and was purchased last summer following his separation from Jennifer Lopez. Meanwhile, the couple’s former $68 million marital home in Beverly Hills is currently on the market.
Sources indicate that Garner, 52, has been supportive of Affleck following his breakup with Lopez. The two even celebrated Christmas together with their children, leading insiders to speculate about the state of their relationship. According to one source, Affleck is still very much attached to Garner: “Ben would get back with Jen in a heartbeat if she’d have him.” However, Garner is in a relationship with John Miller, who has been dating her since 2018.
Tensions may be brewing between Garner and Miller, as some insiders feel he is beginning to see Affleck as an obstacle in his relationship. “It’s becoming increasingly obvious that Jennifer would prefer to be with Ben than him,” said another insider. While Miller is generally fine with the co-parenting situation, there are hints that he is growing weary of Affleck’s presence in Garner’s life.
Further complicating matters, Jennifer Lopez recently reached a private agreement regarding the couple’s former shared residence, which had previously felt like a burden to her. Sources claimed that Lopez has been eager to move on, expressing feelings of being “trapped” in the home, which still bears reminders of Affleck.
As the wildfires continue to engulf the Los Angeles area, the celebrity landscape is shifting rapidly, with many stars fleeing their mansions in search of safety. As for Affleck and Garner, the uncertainties around their relationship grow deeper amid the chaos.
