Jennifer Garner-Ben Affleck Update: ‘Pregnant’ Star Spotted With Baby Bump, Report Says

Jennifer Garner was spotted sporting a supposed baby bump after rumors swirled she was pregnant with Ben Affleck’s baby, Radar Online wrote in an exclusive report Wednesday. Even though the couple had been estranged, they have been caught spending time together.

“Friends are expecting an announcement very soon that Jen is pregnant,” an insider said. “She’s always wanted another child with him. Even since they split, she’s gushed publicly about how he is the love of her life.”

If there really was another baby on the way, he or she would be joining Garner and Affleck’s three other children: Violet , 10, Seraphina , 7, and Samuel , 4.

Though the couple split last June after 10 years of marriage, they never filed for divorce. It was Affleck’s gambling and drinking that led to the breakup, but Garner called off their relationship only to scare him.

“Jen has played Ben like a fiddle!” an insider said. “She was determined to make him ‘walk the plank’ over his wild ways. She believed he would come to his senses and they could save their marriage.”

It seems divorce was never really in Garner’s plans. “I think they both hoped the split would be the big, final wake-up call that would turn Ben into the husband they’re convinced he can be!” the insider told Radar Online. “Jen loves being a mother, and she wants a real family, not two parents living apart and sharing custody.”

While the idea of a baby saving the couple’s marriage sounds alluring, Gossip Cop, who regularly debunks celebrity rumors, said Radar’s story was nonsense. “Garner is 100 percent not pregnant, Gossip Cop can exclusively confirm,” the site wrote. “And Radar Online is 100 percent wrong again.”
