Ben Affleck Wants ‘To Move On And Date Again’ After Jennifer Lopez Divorce, But THIS Is Stopping Him...

Ben Affleck is ready to find love again!

It’s been a while since the Accountant star really jumped back into the dating pool. A source told Dailymail.com on Thursday the breakup with Jennifer Lopez took a huge toll, and the 52-year-old was “exhausted” by everything.

However, weeks after settling the divorce, things have changed. He feels a huge sense of relief. Now he wants to date — but only if he finds the right woman! The insider said:

“This weight is lifted from him and he is ready to move on and date again – if the right woman comes along. He is taking a minute because this has taken a toll on him. He is staying close to his family and his sobriety circle. He’s not been left fragile so much as exhausted by it all.”

And no, Ben is not going back for thirds! The Bennifer chapter of his life has closed for good. When the source says he wants to “move on,” they mean it. He won’t even be close to J.Lo like he is with ex-wife Jennifer Garner post-divorce! The insider explained:

“You will likely not see them hanging out or having exes lunches. He will never be close to her like he is to Jennifer Garner.”

It makes sense! They don’t have kids together like he and Garner do! But does this mean J.Lo won’t have a relationship anymore with his children? She got close to them during their marriage, especially Violet! And the kids formed a strong bond with each other! So will they cut off all ties now — or when Ben eventually moves on? Or stay in touch? We hope the latter!

As for Jen Garner? She fully supports him getting back out there again! Possibly even more so now after all those reconciliation hopes from fans! The insider shared:

“Jen will always support anything that makes Ben happy. She supported his romance with JLo despite her personal feelings because it made him happy and kept him healthy.”

Wouldn’t it be crazy if Ben formed his next big romantic connection with another Jennifer!?! The internet would lose it! But third time’s the charm, right? Maybe he just needed to wait and find the right Bennifer fit! LOLz!
