Jennifer Garner walks with a spring in her step as she runs errands in LA

Jennifer Garner walked with what seemed like a spring in her step while running errands in Los Angeles this week.

The 48-year-old did what appeared to be a tiny little disco dance steps, pointing her index fingers in opposite directions, before getting into her car.

Her outing comes amid a swirl of reports that her amicable ex-husband Ben Affleck has split up from his girlfriend Ana De Armas.

‘Ben and Ana were so close to each other. They have their issues, but still want to remain on good terms and keep a friendship,’ an Us Weekly source dished recently.

Ben and Ana met in 2019 while filming their upcoming erotic thriller Deep Water helmed by Unfaithful director Adrian Lyne.

They were a couple for months during the coronavirus lockdowns during which Ana met the three children Ben shares with Jen.

In fact Ben, Ana and the children even all went on a joint holiday to Georgia last summer accompanied by his mother Patricia. 

And despite their romantic relationship ending – with the actress being the person calling it quits – the former flames ‘still talk regularly,’ People’s source reported.

‘Ben and Ana’s friendship has not ended,’ the insider revealed.

Since their split, the father of three has been spending time with his children ‘a lot’ and ‘continues to work on himself,’ the source said.

Ana, 32, didn’t want to live full time in Los Angeles – which is Ben’s homebase because of of his kids and ex-wife Jennifer Garner. 

She ended things over the phone, with location playing a factor.

‘Their relationship was complicated. Ana doesn’t want to be Los Angeles-based, and Ben, 48, obviously has to since his kids in Los Angeles.

Ben and Jennifer married in 2005 and welcomed Violet, 15, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, eight, before separating in 2015.

However they took so long to actually get divorced that there were occasional rumors that they would reunite – until they legally finalized the split in 2018.

Jennifer and Ben have remained amicable co-parents since their separation and were often seen going to church with the children before the coronavirus pandemic.

She has been a friend to him through past breakups, including the end of his years-long relationship with TV producer Lindsay Shookus.
