According to anonymous sources, Affleck has been spending more time with Garner since his split from Jennifer Lopez. "John is trying to deal with Ben and Jen's relationship by mostly staying quiet, but it's very hard to do that," said a source to The Daily Mail.
"He knows that Ben has to be around as a father and he is more than OK with that, but he wants to be the man in the relationship. John only talks about Ben when Jen talks about Ben or when their kids talk about him. He doesn't bring him up unprompted."
The insider claims that the relationship between Miller and Affleck is respectful, even though there's some tension.

Still, it's not all negative. Despite the heavy media coverage of the topic of Garner and Affleck, she and Miller remain strong. "Everything is fine with John and Jen,” said a source to US Weekly. "Those close to them haven’t heard of any issues."
