Despite the breakup rumors, the two were photographed in recent days, with one photo published by In Touch Weekly that appears to show Ben, 51, behind the wheel of a car, reaching over toward the front passenger door as Jennifer, 54, stands outside with her child Emme, 16.
Jennifer, who shares the teen and twin brother Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony, had recalled in her documentary The Greatest Love Story Never Told, released on Amazon Prime Video in February, what led to her and Ben—to call off their 2003 engagement.
“Ben and I, we broke up three days before our wedding,” she said on the program. “We had a big wedding planned—14 ushers and bridesmaids—and three days before, we just crumbled under the pressure.”
Ben himself noted that the reason behind the breakup was “the massive amount of scrutiny around our private life.” He also said he told his wife when they got back together that he didn’t want “a relationship on social media.”
“And then I sort of realized it’s not a fair thing to ask,” the Argo actor—who shares kids Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner—continued. “It’s sort of like you’re gonna marry a boat captain and you go, ‘Well, I don’t like the water.’ We’re just two people with kind of different approaches trying to learn to compromise.”
