Is Ben Affleck trying to get another ex back again? Affleck and ex-wife Jennifer Garner got “affectionate” during a recent paintball outing with their 13-year-old son Samuel. The exes, who split in 2015 after 10 years together, remained “close” throughout the entire event, per Page Six, as Samuel joined his friends. At one point, the Argo star pulled Garner towards him by her waist, and the actress did not pull away.
