As you’ve probably seen on all of the mom-and-baby-themed blogs by now, Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck and their two daughters have been back on the Dimple Parade paparazzi stroll the past month. My thought on the subject is that Jennifer was promoting Arthur, and maybe she was trying to create some buzz for her horrendous monstrosity project, a “young” reboot of Miss Marple. Basically, whenever I see photos of Garner two days in a row, I get suspicious and think she’s hustling something. CB and I always disagree about that – CB loves Garner, and thinks that Garner just has a routine that the paps can easily follow, day after day. In reality, it’s probably a little of both theories. Anyway, as you can see from their recent pap-friendly outings, Garner and Affleck seem to be a better mood these days. There were even photos of them smiling and laughing together, a rarity. And now Us Weekly has a nice little story about how Jen and Ben are back on track:

He may be outnumbered three to one, but Ben Affleck wouldn’t change a thing about life with his girls.

“I have no testosterone left, but you know, I’m happy,” he tells Us Weekly of wife Jennifer Garner and their daughters. In fact, a source tells Us Weekly that the pair, who celebrated Garner’s 39th birthday with a barbecue at their home in LA’s Pacific Palisades April 17, are better than ever.

“All is really good,” says the insider. The only recent hiccup? Getting Violet into the right private school, says the friend. “But it was all sorted out. Tom Hanks wrote letters of recommendation!”

The couple’s work-life balance makes the grade too, adds the source: “Ben is happy doing smaller films now and being a family man. He’s the happiest he has ever been.”

As I said, it takes very little for my suspicions to be raised about this family. I think Ben screwed around with Blake Lively – and probably others. I also have concerns that he’s drinking again, and maybe worse. So… while I think that Ben might/probably genuinely love his wife and his daughters, he’s also got that self-destructive streak that rises up every so often and wreaks havoc. When I see unnamed sources saying stuff like “Ben is happy doing smaller films now and being a family man. He’s the happiest he has ever been” all I think is “Um, really? Or is that wishful thinking?” Still, I guess I should give Jennifer and Ben some credit – they really did seem like they went through a bad rough patch after Seraphina was born, and they managed to move past it. It probably helps that Ben buys “I’m sorry I boned her” jewelry for his wife after big transgressions!
