Ben Affleck has a habit of going back to his exes after getting out of a relationship, so it’s no surprise that fresh off the heels of his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, he’s spending a lot of time with his other ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

Ben Spends More Time With Jennifer Garner

With the holidays comprising most of the last few weeks, it's no surprise that the actor has been spending more time with Garner, as they share three children together. According to an insider, Ben simply feels "much more comfortable" spending time with them over Jennifer Lopez and her two children.

Now that Christmas and New Year's have passed and the world is getting back into the swing of things, it will be interesting to see if Affleck continues to spend more time with Garner. Though rumors are now spreading that she got secretly engaged to her boyfriend of over six years, John Miller, so Affleck might've lost his chance at rekindling things.

Jennifer Lopez Thinks Jennifer Garner Is A 'Villain'

While Affleck and Garner spend the holidays as a family, Jennifer Lopez has reportedly been observing, and is quite upset about it. "JLo felt threatened by Jen Garner for almost all of her marriage," a source described. "The way Ben would run to her for advice any time they had a fight drove her crazy. She has always been suspicious that there's still something between them, and seeing them acting like this cozy, happy family again for the whole world to see has only made her even more sure she was right all along."

"It's so humiliating because she feels like she was played for a total fool," the source continued. "Like she ignored her own instincts because she wanted to believe the lies Ben told her. She's furious with Ben, but in her view, it's Jen that's the real villain because she acted like this total sweetheart to Jen's face and made a show of wanting to help when in reality she was running interference the whole time."
