Exclusive:Ben Affleck’s Body Language Undergoes a ‘Dramatic Change’ When Around Jennifer Garner, Expert Says… Read More

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez allegedly want to divorce in 2024. They both went through high-profile separations in the past, as Affleck and Jennifer Garner split after a decade of marriage. Today, Affleck and Garner remain friends, as they co-parent three kids. The exes recently stepped out and seemed to have a great time together. Here’s what a body language expert said about Affleck undergoing a “dramatic change” when with Garner compared to Lopez.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner stayed friends after their marriage ended. They tied the knot in 2005 and separated in 2015 before finalizing their divorce in 2018. Affleck and Garner share three kids and live close to each other so they can attend family events as a united front. In August 2024, the exes spent time together before sending their daughter, Violet, to college.

Body language expert Judi James spoke to DailyMail.com about Garner and Affleck’s body language. According to James, Affleck, who seemed in high spirits with his ex, was “‘safe-harboring’ here, pulling into what could seem like the safe, familiar harbor of his ex-wife and his children while his current marital problems blow over around him.”

“This is common behavior when there are problems in a second marriage, and the first family unit can suddenly seem like a comfortably familiar and seemingly non-judgmental refuge …,” James continued.

As for Garner, she sent out “signals of approval and even pride in her ex Ben here.”

“Jennifer seems to be like-minded with Ben, suggesting they form a united bond as parents,” James added. “Their body language here shows up some subliminal mirroring. She also looks totally comfortable in conversation with Ben. The pair appear to chat in an engaged and relaxed way here, still chatting when the children are distracted by a phone and a menu.”

Garner and Affleck’s middle child, Fin, also attended the family dinner. According to James, Garner and his two kids looked at “Ben with expressions of non-judgmental pride, warmth and fondness here must feel like the kind of emotional ‘stroke’ he desires right now, and his own body language appears to undergo a dramatic change as a result.”
