According to a Radar Online report, the Gone Girl star, 52, is ready for something real, and Garner is great at scouting genuine people. "He is on the hunt for someone grounded and mature. He¡¯s had enough of the?Hollywood?divas and gold diggers,¡± the source said.
The 13 Going on 30 actress, who shares three children - Violet, 18; Seraphina, 15; and Samuel, 12 - with Ben, is all for his new pursuits! "She wants to see Ben happy, and loves that she¡¯ll get to have a say because whoever he dates is going to be around her kids," the insider added.
Affleck and Garner tied the knot in 2005 and were married for 13 years before parting their ways in 2018. However, despite their divorce, the former couple are not only on amicable terms but have also been each other's confidantes over the years. Garner has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with CaliGroup CEO John Miller since 2018.
Ben is not the only one looking for new love. His ex J.Lo is reportedly 'secretly falling' in love with her bodyguard. Although the actress has expressed her indifference to the idea of finding new love, reports suggest otherwise.

¡°She¡¯s flirting where it¡¯s safe to flirt and of course, she¡¯s attracted to the guy, but mostly she knows that it will drive Ben [Affleck] crazy," the source added.
