Ben Affleck<\/strong>, Jen, 52, is getting her happily ever after with John. \u201cThey are perfect for each other,\u201d says the source. \u201cJohn really is her other half. She\u2019s told friends, \u2018I\u2019ve never known love like this!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\nBig Day Details<\/h2>\n
Post-divorce, Jen has been coy about her love life. Three years ago, the Alias<\/em> alum said she didn\u2019t think she\u2019d be single forever, though she wasn\u2019t certain another marriage was her endgame. Proudly self-sufficient, she confessed to Allure<\/em>, \u201cI really love my solo life.\u201d That changed a few years ago, when a proposal came from the Stanford Law graduate turned businessman, who runs a chain of about 50 CaliBurger restaurants worldwide as the CEO of CaliGroup.<\/p>\nJen couldn\u2019t say no, says a second source, and was blown away by the romantic proposal. \u201cJohn spent a long time making Jen an engagement ring and gave it to her two years ago, around April 2022, which is when she turned 50,\u201d the second source explains, noting that privacy-loving Jen has tried not to wear her sparkler in public \u2014 though she\u2019s slipped a few times.<\/p>\n
Now plans for the big event are taking shape. The star \u2014 who delights fans with her fake cooking show on Instagram \u2014 will keep it simple. Jen\u2019s first wedding, to actor Scott Foley<\/strong>, 51, saw them exchange vows in their backyard. Her second, to Ben, 51, was just them and two friends on a beach in Turks and Caicos. The 13 Going on 30<\/em> star won\u2019t go big for her third, either. \u201cJohn has land in Malibu,\u201d says another insider, hinting, \u201cIt might happen there.\u201d<\/p>\nThink: small, intimate, no drama. Though John has a good relationship with his former spouse, violinist Caroline Campbell<\/strong>, and Jen gets along with Ben and his new wife, Jennifer Lopez<\/strong>, 54, the source says neither will be there. \u201cIt would be awkward to have Ben at the wedding because Jen would have to invite J.Lo. And Jen and John don\u2019t want to invite any more publicity than necessary, they want no distractions,\u201d says the source. \u201cThis is their special day. They\u2019re much more low-key and want to keep their wedding private.\u201d<\/p>\nTheir Joyful Journey<\/h2>\n
The four-time Emmy nominee\u2019s relationship with John was just what she asked for. Two years before she started dating him in 2018 \u2014 shortly before finalizing her divorce from Ben \u2014 Jen mused about what she\u2019d want in a man someday. \u201cI don\u2019t know. It\u2019s just that [from] everyone that I know that is dating it just seems, well\u2026 Men don\u2019t call anymore\u2026\u201d she told Vanity Fair<\/em>. \u201cI want flowers; I don\u2019t want to text. What does that make me? What kind of dinosaur am I?\u201d<\/p>\nAfter the tumultuous end of her marriage to Ben, John was a breath of fresh air. \u201cHe loves to shower her with gifts,\u201d says the insider. \u201cHe\u2019s romantic.\u201d Whereas she was still driving Ben to rehab even after their split, John was a steady presence. \u201cThey can be old-fashioned,\u201d says a source. \u201cThey write notes to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
He, too, was in the final stages of a divorce and learning how to coparent \u2014 he and Caroline share a daughter, Violet, 15, and a son, Quest, 17. And like Jen \u2014 who also has a daughter named Violet<\/strong>, 18, plus kids Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, with Ben \u2014 John valued normalcy and always put his family first. \u201cHe\u2019s very prudent and doesn\u2019t gamble, unlike Ben, and doesn\u2019t spend excessively,\u201d says the source.<\/p>\nBlended Family<\/h2>\n
John and ex Caroline, a violinist, \u201care cordial and respect each other\u2019s boundaries\u201d as they coparent their teens, says a source. They\u2019ve had their rough patches, breaking up briefly in 2020 amid pandemic chaos, but made their way back to each other by the following year.<\/p>\n
Six years in, the pair have found a good rhythm. \u201cThey do birthday parties at home with their kids and act like a normal blended family doing everyday things \u2014getting ice cream, cooking dinner, just being together,\u201d shares the insider. \u201cBut as much time as they spend together, they\u2019re also secretive about most of their meetups, maybe grabbing a quick glass of wine or dinner at odd hours so they\u2019re not seen. When they go away together, they fly private, so nobody sees them.\u201d<\/p>\n
As happy as they are, Jen and John are also practical. \u201cJen wants a prenup,\u201d says the source, \u201cand John has no problem signing one \u2014 he\u2019s not intimidated and isn\u2019t marrying Jen for her fortune,\u201d which is estimated at $80 million. \u201cJen is sure John\u2019s The One and that this marriage is going to last, but she\u2019s wise enough to know there are no guarantees.\u201d She\u2019s willing to take this chance. After years of prioritizing her children and creating a stable home for them, she\u2019s now in a place where she feels she can focus on her own happiness. \u201cJohn is attentive and kind,\u201d says the source. \u201cHe\u2019s a great guy who loves and values her. She deserves this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
