This story comes from Star Magazine, for what it’s worth. And Star added it to their epic coverage of Angelina Jolie’s alleged pregnancy, so it kind of seems like a bullsh-t afterthought. They claim that Jennifer Garner is pregnant for the third time! Which, much like Angelina’s alleged pregnancy, is not entirely beyond the realm of possibility. Jennifer has never said that she and Ben plan to stop at two kids, and it’s long been rumored that Ben Affleck is hellbent on having a son. Here’s more from Star:
An insider tells Star that Jennifer Garner, 38, is pregnant with her third child. Her husband Ben Affleck, 37, “had been lobbying Jen for another child, and she finally gave in! Ben really wants a boy to complete their family.”
One thing Jennifer doesn’t want: to pack on the pounds! While out shopping in Pacific Palisades on April 11, the actress was overheard chatting on her phone with a friend.
“She was saying that she is determined not to gain 40 lbs. again, like she did with her last pregnancy,” a fellow shopper tells Star.

I would also think that Jennifer would be worried about her career. Between Jennifer and Ben, Jennifer is the one who works more as an actor, and she’s the real breadwinner of the family. When she got pregnant with Seraphina, many of her potential projects had to be put on hold or passed off to other actresses. She currently has 7 films in various stages of pre-production, so it’s probably not the best time for her to have another baby. That being said, I don’t think Jennifer would mind having another baby. She seems to love being a mom, so, like I said, it’s not totally impossible that she’s pregnant again.
Star Mag put up a photo of Jennifer’s alleged “bump”. They seem to be from this grouping, of Jennifer on April 3, out and about in LA. I’m not seeing a “bump” in these photos – she just looks skinny, as always. Maybe she was just a little gassy for a second:
I saw a recent pic of her where she had a bigger tummy. I wondered if she wasn’t pregnant again. We shall see.
oh god, if she’s preggers looking like that then I must definitely be pregnant! She doesn’t even have a pooch! She doesn’t even have a food baby! Also, that bag she’s holding in the last picture totally looks like it says “The Dump” on it. Hehehe.
It’s crazy how much Violet looks just like her & how much Seraphina looks just like Ben!!! How adorable are they?!
Garner on the other hand, either give her some makeup & a mirror orrrrrr
…..
@Jillian…I was just gonna say the same thing!! I can’t remember where the pic was from, but I remember thhinking she looked like she had a pretty significant bump. I have to find that pic…
You can’t see her pupils in the top picture, she looks like a soulless zombie…hmmm
“she’s the real breadwinner in the family”
Something tells me both of them could stop working and be just fine for quite awhile. Wasn’t Ben in two movies last year and busy writing/directing one to come out later this year? Something about that statement (maybe the tone?) just rubs me the wrong way.
Meh. When I wear low rise jeans, they always make me look like that too.
Seraphina is adorable! I’ve never understood why would anyone pay for faded ripped jeans, who knows how much she paid for them too. Anyway Jennifer doesn’t look pregnant to me.
I’ve seen other recent pics of her and the thought of her being pregnant sprung to my mind even before I heard this rumors. But then again these tummy pics came after she got really thin real fast may be her body is in riot against that 🙂 I think if she’s pregnant it’s an accident.
Here’s the link to the pic I was talking about:

It’s the way her shirt is under the jacket that looks like it may be stretching over a bump. Or not. Who knows
jennifer is so homely looking, wish she would go back to tv
With “7 films in various stages of pre production” I highly doubt that now is the time she’d give in to Ben’s request for a 3rd child. She doesn’t strike me as a stupid woman. I do hope they have a boy though, if nothing more than to end his Henry VIII madness.
They seem like good parents, very hands on, so if they decide to have more kids, congrats to them.
I just hate all the speculation that any actress who’s stomach isn’t concave must be pregnant.
Oh my God, that child is KILLING me. She is so adorable. I’m happily childless but she is scrumptious. Please don’t let my biological clock be kicking in so late in life. Puhleeeeze!
And what if she doesn’t “produce the male heir” for Affleck, then what? Keep going until he is happy. And with his track record, that’s about the time he will screw up the relationship. Yes, she is the primary breadwinner.
Katalina, that is the same pic I saw.
Assuming any of this is true, I HATE hearing stories like this! Jennifer has said many times that she was “comletely done” at two, yet Ben wanted a boy to “comlete” their family. WTF?! So, if they have another girl (very likely) he will be dissapointed, and she will feel that the third pregnancy (that she never really wanted) was somehow a waste?
People should just be greatful to have healthy, happy children. Any time you get pregnant with any sort of pre-requesuite expectation other than that, you are, in my opinion, in dangerous territory.
bellaluna: Funny! My thoughts EXACTLY.
@Maritza – Neither would I pay money for wripped jeans. I like to buy designer jeans, but I refuse to buy any with wrips or tears.
If they want a boy all they have to do is pay a lot of money and someone can build them a boy in the lab. It’s called PGD just like the book “My Sister’s Keeper”. And ask Charlie Sheen they had designer boys.
@ Kitty2000
LOL!!!!!!! Borrow a friend’s child. And make sure that s/he is teething and/or colicky! THAT should be the best form of birth control, ever! 😉
PS Oh, and make damn sure that you are having a really bad week, with more bills than money AND a bad hair day..(there, I think I covered all the bases!) If that doesn’t work for you, call me, and I will let you borrow my 17 year old for one hour. Now THAT will cure EVERYTHING!
@ abby:
OH, SO TRUE!
I think that most people who label these baby bumps don’t have a basic understanding of human biology.
The uterus is BELOW the stomach. The stomach is where food goes when you eat. The uterus is where a baby grows.
Mommy!
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAA!
@Abby – I agree also 100%! That’s also why I would want to know the sex of my baby so just in case there was any wishes for one or the other I could get over it real quick and start embracing what I have. But, I guess that goes back to what you said so it shouldn’t matter.
She looks great! Loved 13 Going on 30!
Can I adopt Seraphina and Suri? So sweet!
I think Jen is gorgeous. She manages to go out of the house without makeup and not doing much with her hair and she still looks amazing. I saw some pics too that had the distinct look of a baby bump.
The guy’s swimmers determine the sex of the baby, so if Ben’s boys can only make chicks, then he’ll have to be happy with a trio of absolutely beautiful girls. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture where Violet wasn’t smiling and Seraphina is turning out to be just as gorgeous.
Jason Bateman’s daughter looks a lot like Violet, she’s a little older and her hair’s darker, but she’s got the same curls and beautiful dimpled smile.
Not sure she’s the primary breadwinner, she definitely wants to be in the public eye more than Ben but I thought he brought significant assets into the marriage. Heard that somewhere.
She might be pregnant, but I sure cannot tell it in these pictures! I dont see a baby bump…
She doesn’t need another child, she needs a new husband.
She definitely looks preggers in that linked photo in the checked shirt. The shirt is not billowing, it is pulled tight across her stomach by her toddler’s leg. And it is definitely bulging!
The breadwinner is actually Ben he was richer than rich when Jennifer married him thanks to Ben she doesn’t have to work or be a ‘breadwinner’. It was Ben who talked the Weinsteins into making that Butter movie she is doing. Ben has 2 major movies coming out this year, jennifer was one of the fillers in that valentines movie and all those movies she has in production have been in production for the last 6 years and probably still will be for the next 6 years. If she was really as busy and in demand as you say she would be working on movie sets not parading her kids around hollywood for the paparazzi nearly every day in a bid to stay famous.
Jennifer is the primary “breadwinner”? hahaha Are you drunk? Affleck has a net worth of more than $100 million according to forbes…. Jennifer barely has a quarter of that (if that). She was basically paid $40,000 for Alias episodes (which is pennies) for years and has since been playing sidekicks.
ben earns in one movie what jennifer earns in 3 (because she only plays supporting characters). And forbes recently singled her out as the only actress who makes way less than $10 million and works in low budget productions, and even then doesn’t make enough contribution to her films (box office wise) to be worth this small amount.
Get your facts straight man. Their house is worth $20 million… that is probably more than what she has made in her entire life. And Affleck is probably going to get an international hit with The Town and he’ll make a lot of money out of that because this is a very commercial film.
What I wonder is this: Would Weinstein have ever agreed to distribute a broad comedy like butter if Affleck wasn’t his close friend? Hmm…
Blah I can’t stand her, or Ben.
she looks old and ugly! where is the beautiful Alias girl??
Does not look preggers!
On thing about CA. if you want a particular gender of baby—you can do this legally. Illegal in other places.
Why is it, that when we hear these stories, it’s always Ben that is the selfish, demanding one? He’s also supposedly always drinking and it makes me wonder if Jen wants to divorce and come out of it clean.
This picture is in today’s People magazine and my first thought is that Garner definitely looks pregnant.
