Cara reported yesterday that Ben Affleck seemed to slip in an interview he gave in late May in which he said “we’re going to have another baby soon now that we’ve figured out how to do it.” It could be interpreted as either a confirmation that his wife Jennifer Garner is expecting or just Affleck letting us know that they’re trying for another baby. Either way, it looks like congratulations are in order. Garner’s close friend and the man who officiated her wedding with Affleck, Victor Garber, has confirmed that she’s expecting.
“Yes, she is,” Garber – who officiated the couple’s 2005 wedding – told Us when asked if recent speculation was true that the couple is expecting.
A source adds, “She is five months pregnant. They are very happy.”
Garner, 36, and Affleck, 35, are parents to two-year-old daughter Violet – one of Us’ Babies of the Year.

She’s five months pregnant already? She looks three months if that. Ben and Jennifer have two and half year old Violet, and they come across as very hands-on parents and are often seen out with their daughter. There have been rumors that they’re having trouble, but those stories don’t seem to have much basis in fact. Both Ben and Jen have been outspoken about their wish to have another baby and this is great news for them. Maybe we’ll receive some confirmation from their camp, but I bet Garber spoke with their blessings and they’re just glad to stop the speculation.

Aww, congrats! Violet’s such a cute little girl too, I’m sure she’s excited to be a big sister.
Who cares! she is such a nothing person.
YAY!!! Violet gets to be a big sister!! I hope shes nicer to her lil bro or sis then I was as a kid!! 🙂
Wow – this changes my opinion of Ted Casablanca’s column. He was putting the word out that they were splitting because they hadn’t been seen together in awhile. What crap. Really makes me think alot of gossip columns are just plain bs.
I can’t imagine trying to stay married in Hollywood. It would take a LOT of strength. Because the gossip columns are constantly trying to insinuate you’re having trouble, breaking up, somebody is cheating, etc.
Thank CB for clearing this up.
She definitely doesn’t look five months pregnant – especially not with a second baby. Congratulations to them, though. I love her and her parenting style, she’s my favorite celebrity mommy.
Well, they’ve got to have something to write about or they’re out of a job, right?
It’s pretty much impossible for two celebrities to make it work in Hollywod; alot of it, I think, is due to the intense media speculation. Which is awful because I mean how many legit couples has the paparazzi killed off? I mean, ones that might’ve survived if not for all the speculation? The odds get better if one of the people in the relationship isn’t a celebrity but they’re still pretty slim.
Yay! I think Ben is such a good daddy
Whoopdifreakindoo.
Great news for them! Congrats! I agree with Kolby, she’s my favorite Hollywood mom (Jennifer of course 😆 )and have always liked Ben Affleck. Nice to see their family expanding – Violet is the cutest celebrity kid right now too, although Suri is close behind. The only off putting thing about Suri is the weirdness that she’s growing up in.
ok, seriously, is jennifer garner really a pretty woman?? i just don’t see it…
Congrats to them!
She doesn’t look very pregnant, but she didn’t with Violet until further along so it’s quite possible she’s five months.
I really like Jennifer Garner’s style, too–she’s devoted to her daughter, is a family-oriented person, and Ben Affleck is one lucky son-of-a-gun to be able to have her and their beautiful little girl to love every day. Let’s hope he doesn’t screw it up!! I’m hoping they are pregnant; it’s refreshing to see when people truly love and want their children, which, sadly, is SO not the norm anymore.
Good luck, and Blessed Be!!
Jennifer is very pretty when she glams up. You’re just seeing her when she’s in a hurry, no makeup LIKE MOST MOMS…give her a break.
Aw, that’s really cool. I’ve always liked Jennifer Garner – she just seems like a neat person.
But yeah – in the pictures posted of her yesterday, she looked barely more than bloated… five months?!
I can see maybe 5 mos preg if it was her first baby.. that takes lots longer to show then. No one could tell I was pregnant until I was almost 6 months along! Pregnancies show almost immediately it seems after the first child. Who knows if it is true then congrats.. though I don’t much like her (she seems like she has a stick up her ass) but hope the pregnancy goes well.
Well thats great! I hope they don’t have twins though.
Violet always looks so happy…big difference between her and Denise and Charlie’s kids.
Wow Larry, your an ass!
I wish them all the best. People don’t seem to realize that these two are serious about staying out of the public eye. And when they do, people insist they’re breaking up. What nonsense. They just cherish their privacy, and want as normal a life as possible for their children.
Just beacuse she got pregnant again- doesn’t mean they don’t have problems.
To begin with they were “forced” to marry after she got pregnnt after a month of dating.
Ben spoke many times that after what his dad did, he vows to never leave his children and will not divorce.
Even if Ben suffers and the marriage is not working, he would not divorce, because of his own issues and the promise he made to himself long ago.
It’s a shame Jennifer got pregnant and forced him to stay bound to her especially since he was honest about this issue.
Regadless, she is very boring and plain looking, even with all the plastic surgeries and personal trainer.
She owes her career to dating “the right men” (and dumping/ divorcing them once a more famous man comes along…)
I love this couple…they seem so nice and almost normal..not celebutards like so many other couples.
“To begin with they were “forced” to marry after she got pregnnt after a month of dating.”
What are you talking about? They started dating approx. summer 2004, Violet was born December 2005. She would be the first woman who was pregnant one and a half years 😕 .
ICK!!! Another hideously gap-toothed cretin from those two. Sorry, but Violet is by far the UGLIEST celebrity kid in existence. Maybe one day she’ll grow into her looks (with the help of some serious orthodontia) but for now, she is Rumer Willis FUG!
Well dear Jane, not all creatures on this world can be blessed with such beauty and intelligence as you.
Who cares……..breeders.
“To begin with they were ‘forced’ to marry after she got pregnant.” Newsflash: it’s not 1947.
Ben must feel the need to mark his turf by keeping her pregnant. He’ll never get another woman as fine as she is.
