Jennifer Garner: Rumors Of A New Boyfriend, Makes The Day Of Sick Kids

After much speculation has been circulating Jennifer Garner’s soon-to-be ex husband Ben Affleck about his relationship with a mysterious nanny, the rumor mill has begun churning out claims of a sparked bond between Jen and her costar Martin Henderson of Miracles From Heaven.

Sources are claiming that Garner has been flirting heavily with her New Zealand-born costar and continues to wear her wedding ring all the while. Redbook Magazine recounts the said source’s words to OK!

“More than anything, Jen just needs a friend right now. Her flirtation and growing bond with Martin is just the thing to distract her. He’s the self-esteem boost she needed. Martin is so warm and complimentary without crossing the line. Jen’s in a good head space. As her friends joke, after all these years, Jen is getting her groove back!”

However, these new claims of a budding romance as opposed to simply being kind and pleasant exchanges between costars seem to be merely falsehoods stirring up more drama in the life of Garner and Affleck, who surely have had their fill of being front page news. Although Garner is a stunning woman who would be a great complement to the handsome actor, it is unlikely that the mother-of-three would be so quick to get involved while still going through a difficult time in her current relationship with Ben.

This “faux beau” is a means to get all eyes on Jen seeing as Ben seems to be taking most heat at the moment. While these rumors are swirling, however, Garner is remaining steadfast in her acting and has taken time out of her busy schedule recently to stop in and visit sick children who are sadly suffering from bone cancer.

The Daily Mail shares in regards to Jennifer’s visit to put smiles on the faces of a number of sick children, including that of Henry, age 9.

“Garner and her costar in the film, Kylie Rogers, visited Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite on Sunday, snapping photos with a 9-year-old named Henry Shepherd. Henry’s mother Carrie told Fox Atlanta that her son was thrilled having been a fan of Garner’s after seeing her in Alexander and the Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day. She also described Garner – who visited with the family for about 10 minutes – as ‘genuinely nice.'”

It turns out that this pop in by Garner was the icing on the cake to the news that Henry was getting set for his very last round of chemo treatment.
