“They were pretty flirty at the Oscars and have stayed in touch via email. Jennifer Garner never liked it,” an insider told The Sun about the exes’ friendly reunion. But don’t be surprised by the 43-year-old’s reaction to Ben’s renewed friendship with JLo. As previously reported EXCLUSIVELY by HollywoodLife.com, one of the reasons why the actor called off his marriage to Jen is because of her need to control his friendships. Ben’s reconciliation with the singer wasn’t the only thing that bothered the mother of his three children.
“Everyone is talking about JLo and Ben and saying it’s inevitable they will get together again at some point,” the insider continued to say. We don’t blame Jen for being upset about the rumors! However, it is pretty unlikely for the former couple to get back together any time soon. Ben seems to have his job as his number one priority since he and Jen perfectly timed their divorce for his busy movie career. Not to mention the American Idol judge was seen getting cozy her on-again off-again flame, Casper Smart, 28, at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards.
