Ben Affleck Adjusts to Single Life, Remains Uninterested in Dating

Following his split from Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck is “not at all interested” in dating. Despite once calling their relationship the “greatest love story,” the couple ended their marriage on their second wedding anniversary earlier this year.

Prioritizing Career and Personal Growth

According to an insider, Affleck is currently focusing on his personal growth and career, rather than seeking a new relationship. Moreover, production on his crime thriller RIP, co-starring Matt Damon, has reportedly slowed due to Affleck’s personal challenges.

Adjusting to Single Life

Affleck spent Thanksgiving and the holidays with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and their children. Sources say he is smoothly adjusting to life as a single man. “Ben has no interest in jumping into another relationship at the moment,” the insider shared. He is also “focused on numerous projects” while adapting to his new life.

Taking a Break from Dating

Although Affleck’s divorce from Lopez has not yet been finalized, he remains uninterested in dating. As the insider added, “Even if it were finalized, dating is just not where his head is at.” Instead, Affleck is choosing to focus on his family, career, and personal development.

Ben and Jennifer Garner’s Strong Friendship

Affleck and Garner, who were married for over a decade, continue to share a strong friendship. For instance, they spent Thanksgiving together helping the homeless and later met up in Brentwood, California. “Ben feels blessed to spend time with Jen and their kids,” the source said. Despite their split six years ago, they have maintained a close bond.

Great Co-Parenting Relationship

Furthermore, Affleck and Garner maintain a solid co-parenting relationship. They talk regularly and support each other for the sake of their children—Violet, 19, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12. “Jennifer wants the best for him because it’s what’s best for their kids,” the insider explained. There is no “bad blood” between them.

Focused on Work and Family

Finally, Affleck is in a better place now, feeling less stressed and more focused on his work and future projects. While he and Lopez remain connected due to their shared history, Affleck is currently cherishing time away from the spotlight, enjoying precious moments with Garner and their children.
