Multiple reports have surfaced about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's new life chapters following their high-profile divorce and their marriage struggles last year. 

While the pair seem to be moving forward after the failed relationship, with JLo focusing on her new Netflix project and spending quality with her kids, a new report indicates that Ben is "reaching out" again.

A source revealed to Page Six that Jennifer does not want people to speak badly about her former husband. "He’s even been reaching out to Jennifer [Lopez] again recently," another source explained, adding that the singer is moving on with her life.

The insider also talked about the recent reconciliation rumors between Jennifer Garner and the actor, revealing that the two stars have no intention of getting back together with Ben. “I’d say they’re both relieved to be done with him. Ben’s an emotional roller coaster," the insider said.

"The two Jennifers are actually friends. They bonded over co-parenting their kids... Who wants the guy? You think he’s the prize? No way. It’s like, ‘Next!’” the source said, describing the actor as a "diva." "He’s the one who likes attention," the insider revealed to the publication, adding that he "love-bombs" and "gets bored and leaves."

Ben is reportedly looking back at his romance with Ana de Armas:

A source told the Daily Mail that Ben is looking back at his failed relationship with the Cuban-Spanish actress with different eyes following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, and after seeing Ana's success since they parted ways in 2021.

"Ben and Ana had such a special and unique relationship because they were holed up together 24/7 during the pandemic," an insider detailed. "They got so close so fast, and it was passionate and real."

Apparently, Ben "wishes he could go back and do it differently, but he can't. It is too late now, but Ben has much respect for Ana. He hopes she finds what she wants and has a family. He thinks she is an incredible woman."
