Here are some new photos of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, out and about in Brentwood yesterday. I’m doing this because I know that you bitches love photos of A) Babies and preggo celebrities, B) Dimples and C) celebrities with their animals. I don’t think I even knew that Jennifer and Ben had a dog. He/she is a German shepherd, and he looks very… ALERT. Like, he’s all “DADDY, I wanna eat the paparazzo! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.” My dog gets the same look when his mortal enemy, the UPS truck, comes down the road. It’s the look of “As God as my witness, if I ever get off this chain and catch you near my mom ever again, I am going to rip you apart.” God, I love puppies! That’s a really beautiful dog. He’s darker than most German Shepherds that I’ve seen.
As for Jen, she’s obviously still knocked up. Any day now, any day now! Poor Jen, she must be super-uncomfortable. Still, it must be nice for her to get some face time with the paparazzi with her usually-reticent husband in tow. Ben seems like he’s gained a bit of sympathy weight with this pregnancy too, right? All of a sudden, he’s carrying himself differently, like he’s just acquired a gut and some kind of moob situation. As for his hair/wiglet situation – it’s a tragedy, and that effing beanie isn’t helping matters. Whatever, though. Happy couple, a bump, dimples and a puppy! This story has all the required gossip elements.

That’s not a German Shepherd, it looks like either a Belgian Shepherd or a Belgian Shepherd mix.
Anyway, Ben doesn’t look heavier at all. He just looks a little scruffy, like maybe he’s inbetween films and taking it easy with his family.
They look great!
I think it looks like a King Shepherd…
You could be right, I didn’t think the tail was bushy enough. Who knows, maybe it’s just a Heinz 57.
It’s for sure not a German.
Agreed about the breed, although I was going to say it looks like a Belgian Malinois. We have them as security dogs where I work. This dog looks the same.
I think he gained some weight since doing The Town .. while his bod rocked out in the movie, his face ..was too too think for him though I still found him attractive.
He looks better overall with more weight on him especially his face ..and he doesn’t look fat or over weight at all!
I love this couple .. and Ben can carry the scruffy look and still get my juices going… he just looks casual and going about his day not on purpose trying to be cool scruffy…. I like him in just a tshirt and jeans…
I think it kinda looks like a Dutch Shepherd. Most definitely NOT a Belgian Malinois. Head is different.
All they need is the white picket fence!
I’d say a five feet tall brick wall to keep the paparazzit’s away 😛
I think they already have it, but also have about 5 others more as well!
Can I point out how happy they’ve been looking in the past few months? That is what marriage is all about, you go through some rough patches, people start speculating that you will be divorcing soon, but you stick it out, work on it, and go back to being happy with your family. Isn’t that what real marriage is all about?
Yeah, I’m pmssing rainbows today.
You are sooooo right Capella…I have been married almost 30 years…Some years were great…some I thought that I would end up in an episode of Dateline or 48 hours for murdering my hubby…lol…but we stuck it out and now our kids are grown and we have such a connection..we have been there for each other when a parent has died…sickness in the family…weddings…births…we have a history together…couples need to realise that its not always gonna be roses and sunshine…but its worth it in the end…
Congrats @Lucy, wish another 30 years, but without the possible Dateline Drama!
Same with my parents. All that fighting while growing up, as kids we even thought for a while it would be best if they divorced, and then we all grew up and left home. Then my parents retired.
Now they walk around hand in hand and enjoy life, and each other’s company. Hope to have that one day!
it’s actually pretty common for a man to gain sympathy weight when his fiancee or wife is pregnant and it’s called cuvade syndrome. maybe Jen has had a difficult go of it this time and doesn’t want to talk about it publically
@Courtney: How did you post on a pregnancy story without mentioning Joanne Woodward??
But yes, men often gain ‘sympathy pounds’ and it’s called Couvade Syndrome. My husband gained 25 pounds during my last pregnancy and had way more cravings than I did. 🙂
The only attractive being in the photographs is their dog.
I want it.
Co-sign. I am so over this couple.
I don’t dislike either one of them. But I sincerely hope his whole look is for a role. Because eveything about it just screams douche in this pic.
I think Ben looks great and I’ve always liked them as a couple
Cute!
I always have the feeling that men can’t wait till their wives get preggers, so they can just let go and get fat.
‘sympathy moobs’ the best thing I’ve read all week. Brilliant!!!
Adorable! My dog’s outrage at UPS trucks driving up to our house (the nerve of them!!) expanded to include UPS trucks he saw when out & about to now he growls menacingly at all dark-colored delivery vans, anytime, anywhere, even on TV.
LOL! Some dog you have 🙂 Ugh, I hate the ‘no dogs allowed’-policy ny building has. I love my kitten but damn I want a puppy/dog. She’d probably shred any animal getting near me though. Sigh. A girl can dream…
Asli-who needs a dog when you have a KITTEN!:)
LOL! Yeah, but one of each? Cuteness overload! 😀
Omg, LOVE the dog! So handsome. Makes me miss my puppy who’s sleeping at home. 🙂
That cardigan he is wearing is doing nothing to conceal the moobs- worse, it’s even highlighting them.
And WTF is on her feet?!
I agree…..his outfit is most unfortunate.
I don’t think I’ve seen a man his age in a cardigan before.
I’m in complete agreement. There should be a certain age when you understand and accept that your chance to be a hipster has come and gone. He looks ridiculous. Let it go, man.
Cannot believe I didn’t notice the cardigan at first glance. Haha!!
i didn’t notice her feet until you pointed them out…yikes! Maybe her feet are so swollen she can only fit in a pair of his?
She looks to be due any day but on Jay Leno she made a point of saying she wasn’t due until the spring. She even complained about people assuming she was due soon. Could she have been lying? Could she be having TWINS?????
There r pics of them kissing on that same outing when he dropped her off at her doctor’s appointment…
Nice pictures! But does he have to look like Russel Brand?!
A man having pecs is considered moobs? He has an athletic build. They look like a normal couple. Good for them.
Aw, these pics are cute-they look really happy together. Love the dog!
I canNOT imagine the trials and exhaustion of having to care for 2 little girls, a new baby AND a big ‘ol dog.
If that dog can’t sweep, mop, vacum, dust, wash clothes, fold clothes, load/run/empty the dishwasher, make meals, feed the hungry mouths in my house, give baths, brush teeth, brush hair, read stories, sing songs, do dances, tuck little ones into bed, monitor potty visits, clean up potty spills, supervise walks to the playground, change diapers, make sure hands are washed upon entering the house and before meals and needs ANY of the above done to it then that is just TOO MUCH WORK!
YEESH!!! Just thinking about it makes me feel like I need a retreat!
Haha! We have 2 dogs & they sleep alllllll the time. They only get jazzed when we take them out for walk & then they act all gonzo like this pup.Our doggies are SO good with our almost 9 month old, except for the time that Baby A grabbed big dog’s tail & he wagged so hard that Baby fell over!
that dog’s eyes are eating my soul.
I know right!
WTF is up with his hair? Please tell me he’s not trying to appear indie. *shudder*
Shudder is right. Both the wiglet and the facial hair have got to go.
It’s for a movie role, guys.
I want to know about the hair too. Apparently there is also this talk on Bitchy about how he wears a piece! And I’m trying to get receipts. What makes you think Ben is balding?
Links please, if you don’t mind?
he looks like he’s going through a mid life crisis.
i don’t remember her getting this big with her previous pregnancies.
THE UPS TRUCK!!!! aaaahhhh…my dog goes ballistic when he hears the truck even off in the distance. Forget it when the UPS guy comes to the door. I swear that he’s going to go through the door one day to get him. What is it about that truck? AND, the mail truck – same reaction. I’d love some advice…Oh, on the Afflecks…I still can’t believe that they are together…they have very cute kids, though…
If Ben truly is balding why not get a hair transplant? Howver, he should be Jude Law and own it!
Both of them still annoy the hell out of me. This is another coupke that I think really puts on a fake happy image for the media. She clawed her way into this marriage and has the security of being married to an A list actor and Ben can get the media image of “family man” in a vain effort to be seencas “the reformed playboy.” I call it a crock of bs.
And yes puppy is a King Shepard.
Any type of Sheperd is a great dog!!!
RIGHT! I myself have a Shepherd/Akita mix, and he is my love! Stubborn as all get out but a true sweetheart.
i bet he is a real prick to live with…moody, struggles with addiction, and is constantly snarky.
just a guess.
He does look like he’s gained a little weight, but it happens.
She does look due very soon. They should let that dog go, looks like he’d chomp the paparazzi!
LOL at the mortal enemy UPS truck.
Prong collar = bad 🙁 And the dog is STILL pulling… training people!!
Ha-ha-ha! They look happy, though! Maybe it makes him feel manly to keep her knocked up!
My Jack Russell (a psycho breed anyway) goes berserk when he sees the UPS truck, the Fed Ex truck, the mailman……sigh…
My Jack has learnt to love the FedEx truck. Driver carries Milk Bones!!
He’s wearing an outfit…that i would wear. And i’m female 🙂 I’m kinda diggin the hair tho!
It’s for a movie, y’all. Movie is called Argo and takes place in the 70s.

The balding rumors are pretty hilarious but untrue.
That dog is GORGEOUS! And he looks like a great protector and friend of those adorable little girls. (Totally agree with you Kaiser, about his facial expression! Glad you’re back, too.)
I think they’re cute together, and I like this family. (It’s nice to see some GOOD marriage news for a change!)
Jennifer Gartner has absolutely no style. And it kills me b/c she — as a person — is actually fairly attractive. She has a cute face, nice hair, pretty complexion. But makes ZERO effort to dress in any way that is cutesy or stylish. She is consistently “schlumpy” looking. UGH !!
I agree with you so much! All I ever see with her is a frump.
Totally. She’s lovely! Never mind trying to give up the schlump right now because she’s a million months pregnant, but after the baby… there are comfortable, mom-friendly clothes that would flatter her to pieces.
I agree-she pains me-especially the shoes. And every other papp shot is of her shopping-so it’s not like she avoids the activity. How difficult is it to pull a reasonably cute outfit together-especially with her budget!
That dog is creeping me out lol.
Ben looks fug as hell and Jennifer, well ‘meh’.
Juat another staged photo op but at least Ben looks better in these pictures than the recent ones where’s his walking his dog alone and looks like he’s having hard time batting his addictions.
What a gorgeous dog! Who are those two nobodies trying to steal his thunder with their “pregnancy” boobs, don’t waste your time humans, that dog owns you!!
I hope they’re happy and stay together. I love her a lot, she’s so admirable and doesn’t do the diva thing. However, I always hate the way she wears her jeans and usually do not like her casual looks much. Her pant legs are always too long and do not look well with her (gag) tennis shoes and in these pics, also do not look well at all with these shoes. She needs to fix this !!! Her glam clothes, on the other hand, are beautiful and she always looks so hot dressed up. Pleeze, Jennifer, you could look so much better with pants if you got some fashion advice….!
I think Jen always looks beautiful, whether she is going glam, or dressing in whatever is comfortable in the end of a pregnancy. I was downright MISERABLE at the end of both of my pregnancies… especially the second one where I got HUGE and felt like I was ready to deliver in my 7th month (ended up having a 10 1/2 pound baby though, so that did explain things a bit!). Oh, and shoes??? No way could I bend down and fart around with my shoes!
btw… Ben doesn’t look like he’s gained weight to me… I just see some nice pecs! It’s been said already, but seems to be worth repeating… the scruffy look is for a movie(;
Hobo Love is so Beautiful. Is Jen having a Boy?
