Moving vans were spotted Monday outside Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s estate, right on schedule. You can see the photos on Radar. They’re nothing special, although Jennifer Garner is shown in one of them talking to the movers. People Magazine quoted an industry source last month who claimed that they would file for divorce after both of their movies came out. “I believe that more or less after Batman v Superman they’ll part ways.”
Now that BvS and Miracles are out, with both doing well at the box office (although not with critics) they’re ready to pull the plug, apparently. We’ll have to see if someone files soon and who will be first to hand in the paperwork. At the end of last year, US Weekly, another one of Garner’s preferred outlets, reported that Garner felt that “Ben gave up working on the marriage, so it’s up to him to file.” However Garner’s high powered divorce attorney, Laura Wasser, said that we can expect several divorces in March and that she times them in pairs so that her celebrity clients don’t get the brunt of the press attention. She did indicate that Friday afternoon is no longer the best time to file for a divorce because it will get picked up by TMZ very quickly regardless.
So will Ben or Jen file first, when will it be and will there be another big celebrity divorce or split announced around that time? Do you remember the last time we saw moving vans outside the Garner Afflecks? That was last summer, after the tabloids had been running split reports for weeks but before they made it official with announcements to the press. It took about a week for them to make the announcement. Wasser said the best time for a celebrity to file was before a holiday weekend but we don’t have another one of those coming for a while.
Garner is shown yesterday after a workout and out on 3-24. Affleck is shown on the Graham Norton show and at BvS premieres on 3-20 and 3-22
Color me shocked.
Utterly predictable.
Thank Goodness!!! I am exhausted from this and I don’t even know them! I wonder if the Vanity Fair and the Sad Batfleck meme were the final straws lol?!
I would be way less annoyed by this had they not spent months on months playing that stupid “Jen Thinks Ben Might Change and What if They Get Back Together,” game with the press. That was so unnecessary, because they were obviously going to split this entire time. It would be so much easier to say, “good for them for moving on, I wish them the best,” if they hadn’t pulled that sh!t.
I like to think it’s the kids moving out because they’re tired of the nonsense from these two. 😉
Mia4s you made me laugh with that one 😀
Ha!! Yaaas, Mia. Free the children.
both movies sold, mission accomplished, moving on and out.
^yup. Who didn’t see this coming?
Exactly. So transparent.
Daily Mail says the trucks were just delivering things, including a rug. Probably just redecorating after the remodel
My god, where is that “Frozen ” song when you need it?!?! Let’s do this already.
“Let it go, Let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, Let it go
Turn away and slam the door!”
LOL. I know about this because I have a 5 year old granddaughter
That was predictable. BvS is out, no need to keep up the charade.
Yeah he needed the good publicity, the maybe” they’ll get back together because they still live together” narrative. Once both movies are out, adios Ben & his ugly back tattoo. There was no way she was going to take him back, she’s smart & has the mini-van support she’s their America’s dimplest sweetheart. Now I’m interested on how she’s going to turn her acting career around. Will she go back to TV? Movies? Netflix?
She should go back to TV, but I imagine she considers herself a movie star. She was initially going after small budget films with great scripts which would be ideal. She’d also be great in a Showtime drama, I’m not sure she’d be able to land one on HBO. She would do really well on network TV, but I don’t think there are as many quality shows. It all comes down to what her goals are. Does she want to be taken seriously as an actor or is she content with the film roles she is typically offered?
I think she would do great in a TV show, something Good Wife-ish. JJ Abrams does have a soft spot of Jen so he might cast her in one of his many secret-y films. I think my curiosity is over her career than her divorce with Ben, what are her plans now that Ben is gone. Will she do rom-coms? indie films? big budget? TV? She was good in Alias & Juno, it could go both ways. I wonder what roles she’s being offered now.
I don’t think she’d do tv. The schedule is much harder and she doesn’t seem to like long shoots.
Both the separation announcement and assumed upcoming filing timing = incredibly predictable.
They may need one more weekend pap stroll, though.
I checked the date after I clicked, thinking, was this bumped from last summer? Wait what day is it? Did I time travel? Psychic dream?
Only another glimpse of purgatory, courtesy of the Assflecks.
This is like a TV soap opera. Instead of tuning in tomorrow, you can tune in months or even a year later, and still figure out what little has happened.
About time, that was the most torturous, drawn out death of a marriage ever. Bens looking better than couple of months ago, he must have a new woman by now, his new face is settling in, what a pity he ever had to mess with it though. Jens looking better too with her new boobs and less movable face (I much preferred the pre botoxed one) but she appears so sexless personality wise it’s impossible to imagine her with anyone.
Jen ‘s actions say it all. Marriage reaches 10 year mark = she announces separation. Day after Batman movie comes out = moving vans. The message is loud and clear. LOVE the way she is handling this. She is done.
she is a fake, that’s the message I got
Who has the tea on the dating, gambling and drinking that was alluded to in the last Affleck post? Spill (please). Also, who else thinks that blind gossip’s latest “why oh why” is about him? Also, why were there moving vans last year if he never actually moved out?
I though they had already divorced.
I’m guessing it will be Memorial Day weekend when Garner will file.
@Lila, where did you find the blind gossip?
There was somebody here who seemed to have an inside info on when Ben is going to file. Her name is Jane. She posted it on the old Ben’s piece here. The one that came out on Monday.
Honestly I thought they had already filed…
At this point I no longer care. Just get the paperwork done. This story has dragged on long enough.
I would like to believe “this is it,” but I’m waiting for proof with the filing/s. The DM is saying they were actually having things brought into the house, which seems unlikely (X17 and Radar say the opposite.) People and others have been dead quiet – I’m guessing they’re waiting for the exclusive on what’s actually happening/divorce, etc.
I do wonder though – same thing happened last year right before they announced the separation (moving trucks were spotted), but if Ben has remained living with them since then, what were the moving trucks actually for at that time? So I guess it’s possible they’re not related to him moving out this time either?
Video at X17 shows items being loaded out of the large moving van into a smaller white flatbed truck, probably to deliver down to the house. I’m assuming the big van is too big to make it down their long driveway to their front door? Its parked out on the street.
