Call it Bennifer: Part Deux. Nine months after they started dating, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are engaged, People and Star magazines are reporting.
Citing a "close friend" of Affleck's, People says the "Pearl Harbor" actor has been privately spreading the news. A friend of Garner's told the magazine in February that she expected Affleck to propose.
Affleck's publicist, Ken Sunshine, would not comment on the reports. A call to Garner's rep was not returned.
As you may have heard, Affleck got engaged to Jennifer Lopez in 2002, but they called it off in January 2004. As opposed to the ridiculous amount of publicity Affleck got with J.Lo, he and Garner have stayed on the down low.
They met while shooting the action flick "Daredevil," but didn't begin dating until 2004. Their lone public appearance together has been a trip to the 2004 World Series in Boston.
The marriage would be Garner's second. The 33-year-old "Alias" star was divorced from actor Scott Foley in March 2004.
Only if there was ANYBODY left who cared even a little bit about Ben Affleck.
Affleck?
HURL....Celebrity news....cough....HURL...cough...cough...
She seems so genuine. What is she doing with that loser? He'll destroy her career like every other recent project that he gets involved with.
Couldn't she do better than Affleck?
Given his track record, this means her show, "Alias," will be cancelled this weekend..
Do you have a link for this? Thanks.
Have to say that is quite a move up from J. Lo.
But not her last.
She's not. She's as artificial as all the rest of them. Every aspect of her life is stage-managed to maximize her media exposure; this story was intentionally leaked by her own "people".
I have a friend who works in a local TV newsroom, and one day last year he was called to be "alerted" that she and Affleck were making a "spontaneous" trip to a nearby mall to show how much in love they were and that she wasn't too good to hang out with the little people.
The show has already gone downhill since they started dating.
Just because they did a planned event, doesn't mean that she's not real. I hate that she likes Martha Stewart, but she did cut that great recruitment video for the CIA, and she hosted the young inventors awards a year or two ago.
I've never seen it..
(You beat me to it.)
Hope she doesn't mind waxing his back hair.
I have the same question about Sandra Bullock and Jesse James.
LOL
