Ben and Jen - It's a Girl!

[BethIrish]

ET Online is reporting....

'Daredevil' BEN AFFLECK has finally tied the knot with his new Jen, reports US Weekly. According to the magazine, Ben and reported mom-to-be JENNIFER GARNER married in a secret island ceremony Wednesday night on the beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean. Reps for both actors had no comment on the reported nuptials.

The dynamic duo met while filming 'Daredevil,' but didn't start dating until their respective relationships went kaput (Ben's with former fiancé JENNIFER LOPEZ and Jen with "Alias" costar MICHAEL VARTAN).

News of Jennifer's pregnancy broke in May. Although sources from the "Alias" set confirmed the baby news to ET, neither of their reps would comment. This would be the first child for both stars.

The couple has kept an extremely low profile, avoiding any red carpet appearances together. They were first spotted getting cozy at the 2004 World Series in Boston.

This is the first marriage for Ben. Jennifer divorced husband SCOTT FOLEY in March, 2004.

[Rose]

Maybe they did, I heard rumors that they were this weekend, but maybe that was to throw everyone off.

[Sophia]

Didn't they also have a supposed wedding last week that they denied?

If they are married, I wish them well. I really like them. :)

[camberne]

If they did... good for them. I wish them a "happlily ever after".

[evagatesgreen2]

I hope it's true. I find them to be more of a laidback, easygoing couple. You could never say that when he was still part of the original Bennifer!

[BrownEyedGirl]

Good for them. I think these two make a good couple...they both seem to have similar backgrounds/values/tastes (cause I know them both oh so well ;) )

Anyway, married or not, I'm happy for them. Now if only Ben will start making some good movies again!!

[sarahh]

And we have confirmation folks... :p

After months of speculation, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have tied the knot — and she's pregnant.

Representatives for both Affleck and Garner confirmed the marriage to The Associated Press on Thursday. The publicists, Ken Sunshine and Nicole King, also for the first time confirmed that Garner is pregnant with her first child.

Sunshine and King would not give any other details.

The confirmation came after Us Weekly reported that Affleck, 32, and Garner, 33, were wed Wednesday at the Parrot Cay resort in the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos. The National Enquirer also released photos they claimed showed Garner arriving on the islandsI was wondering when they would confirm her pregnancy! I really hope they release a wedding photo! I love Jennifer!!

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have secretly married, The National Enquirer can exclusively reveal.

Wearing white, the pregnant Alias star sealed her union with Ben on a sandy beach on the Turks and Caicos island yesterday evening.

With the sun setting, her costar Victor Garber watched as Jen, 33, and Ben, 32, embraced and kissed.

And The National Enquirer was there to witness the romantic moment.

The couple flew to the paradise hideaway yesterday morning, accompanied by Victor, who plays Jen's CIA agent father in the hit TV show.

It is understood the couple are leaving the luxury resort Parrot Cay, where they spent their first night as a married couple, later today or tomorrow.

The newlyweds are believed to be heading for Jen's family home in Charleston, West Virginia, to celebrate their nuptials with family and friends over the July 4 weekend.

In April, The National Enquirer exclusively revealed that the couple got engaged after learning they were expecting a baby in November.

Ben proposed by giving Jen a $500,000, 4.5-carat cushion-cut diamond.

The National Enquirer also reported that Jen at first could not wear the ring from top jeweler Harry Winston because it was too large and had to be re-sized.

[richgal]

As soon as I read the news on Yahoo, I jetted over here, since I figured I'd get the "real" scoop from you gals. :) I'm dying to see pics!!! And boy do I hope Ben decided to shave for the event.... ;)

Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner Wed

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have gotten married.

"They're married and they're expecting their first child," their reps, Nicole King and Ken Sunshine, said in a statement.

The publicists did not reveal any additional details about the wedding, but the news follows weeks of marriage rumors, including claims that the pair would exchange vows in Garner's home state of West Virginia.

The couple met on the set of the 2003 comic-book movie Daredevil. They didn't begin dating until seven months after Affleck broke off his high-profile engagement to Jennifer Lopez, whom he was set to marry in September 2003.

Considering the hoopla that surrounded Bennifer, the courtship of Affleck, 32, and Garner, 33, was surprisingly low-key. Though they were frequently spotted shopping for groceries together in L.A. or getting coffee from Starbucks, they generally steered clear of the spotlight.

"He's very happy," an Affleck friend told PEOPLE in April. "Jennifer is very down-to-earth, much more like him. They're more like-minded. That wasn't true (with Lopez)."

In early May, a close friend began spreading the news that the two were planning to wed, to the delight of Garner's parents. "They had their fingers crossed," a Garner pal told PEOPLE at the time. "They really love Ben." Soon after, she was sporting a diamond eternity band, though the couple kept mum about their plans. In late May sources said Garner was three months pregnant.

For Affleck, 32, this is his first marriage. It's Garner's second marriage; she and actor Scott Foley divorced in 2003.

Meanwhile, Garner's Alias costar Ron Rifkin, appearing on Live with Regis and Kelly Thursday morning, said Garner's pregnancy will likely be worked into the show's storyline. "She's with child, and I think it's going to be written in," he said.

[Sophia]

Yay!!! I wish them all the best!:D:D:D

I'm dying to see wedding pix!

[LeslieandPaul]

Yeah!! I'm so happy for them! Can't wait for pictures!

[hockeybrat]

I can't wait to see the pics. They are such a cute couple!

[meatpie]

really dying for a photo

[Katy]

yay! I like them together. Can we put the pix here so I can just sub to this thread. I'm otherwise going to be mostly offline today and I'd need to track them down later (unless someone can PM me with them :))

[jeepgirl]

If what Ron Rifkin said is true, then writing Jen's pregnancy into the storyline would be interesting from Ben Affleck's perspective. Imagine your wife, pregnant with your baby, playing a role on television that would obviously "roleplay" the "baby-to-be" as being Michael Vartan's.

[michael'sbride]

I'm so happy about them getting married. They have taken the thrown as my favorite Hollywood couple.

I wonder if they'll even release pics? I mean, we've seen pics of her pregnant and its taken them until now to confirm it. As much as I want to see them, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't. They seem so private.

[kakirk]

YAY! I was just coming to post this! I'm so happy!

Katie

Ben Affleck And A Pregnant Jennifer Garner Tie The Knot (http://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1505022/06302005/story.jhtml) MTV.com

Couple married on Wednesday.

It's official — Bennifer is married.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner tied the knot Wednesday night, their reps have confirmed. The couple are also pregnant with their first child.

The news comes after weeks of wedding rumors, which most recently had Garner walking down the aisle in her home state of West Virginia just last week. The real ceremony took place at the Parrot Cay resort in the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean, according to Us Weekly. The actors' reps did not confirm or reveal any details.

Affleck and Garner met while filming 2003's "Daredevil" and started dating several months after Affleck broke off his engagement with Jennifer Lopez.

This is Affleck's first marriage and Garner's second. She divorced "Felicity" actor Scott Foley in 2003.

Affleck and Garner wed, expecting baby

By JAKE COYLE, Associated Press
Last updated: 4:15 p.m., Thursday, June 30, 2005

NEW YORK -- After months of speculation, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have tied the knot -- and she's pregnant.

Representatives for both actors confirmed the marriage to The Associated Press on Thursday. Their publicists, Ken Sunshine and Nicole King, also confirmed that Garner is pregnant with her first child.

Sunshine and King would not give any other details.

The confirmation came after Us Weekly reported that Affleck, 32, and Garner, 33, were wed Wednesday at the Parrot Cay resort in the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos. The National Enquirer also released photos it claimed showed Garner arriving on the islands with her "Alias" co-star Victor Garber.

In stark contrast to Affleck's much publicized relationship with Jennifer Lopez, he and Garner have been tightlipped about their romance. Aside from appearing at a Boston Red Sox game last fall, they have stayed out of the public eye.

Reports in April about an engagement were never confirmed. In May, E! News reported that Garner was pregnant and the baby was due in November, but neither star confirmed that report.

This is first marriage for Affleck and the second for Garner, who divorced actor Scott Foley in March 2004 after 3 1/2 years of marriage. Affleck and Lopez called off their September 2003 wedding and broke off their engagement in January 2004. Lopez married singer Marc Anthony later that year.

Affleck co-starred with Garner in 2003's "Daredevil," her first big movie role, but they didn't begin dating until last year.

"He's really a gentleman," Garner told AP Radio after they shot the action thriller. "And he's not afraid to laugh at himself or you. And I knew, I just had an instinct that he would take care of me in my first step out there, and he did."

Said Affleck of Garner: "I don't think she thinks that she is as drop-dead gorgeous as she is, and I think that is what gives her this incredibly appealing quality."

Garner has been filming the drama "Catch and Release" in Vancouver, Canada. Affleck will star as George Reeves, television's Superman, in the upcoming movie "Truth, Justice, and the American Way."

[sarahh]

Sorry. I worked 15 hours yesterday, and today has been incredibly busy.When are they going to give you a break! That really stinks! Hopefully you'll get some much needed rest over the weekend!

[meatpie]

I have a feeling there will be no photos :(

Don't you think someone (meaning tabloid) would have posted them by now or at least the fact that they have photos from the wedding??? I really hope that's not the case though...

[keska]

I know this thread is more about the wedding (which I think is great) than the pregnancy, but can I just take a minute and say:

I TOLD YOU SO!

A couple months ago (maybe not that long?) on the WC, we had a thread where I said that Jennifer Garner was pregnant and looked pregnant and somebody, who must obviously been an avid fan, practically bit my head off about how she wasn't pregnant and how she'd been just been sick or something like that. I've been vindicated!

Whew. That feels nice. Carry on. :D

[Rose]

I am glad SpyDaddy was there. :)

[numberlady]

I came over here hoping to see some pictures. I guess they really fooled the media and there are none. Hopefully some will be released soon!

FLORIST CONFIRMS AFFLECK HIRED WILLIS' HOME FOR WEDDING

BEN AFFLECK called in a favour with ARMAGEDDON co-star BRUCE WILLIS to make sure his wedding to JENNIFER GARNER remained a top secret - he asked to use his movie pal's Caribbean hideaway.

Affleck and Garner reportedly stayed at Willis' holiday villa on Caribbean holiday isle Turks + Caicos as they prepared for their nuptials on Wednesday night (29JUN05).

And florist STEPHANIE DUNCANSON, who was commissioned to create the floral arrangement for the ceremony without knowing exactly who was exchanging vows, confirms Willis' getaway played a major part in the wedding preparations.

She says, "I was commissioned to do flowers in white; longstemmed coral lilies with white roses and white Casablanca lilies and pink stargazers.

"We were told the couple were celebrities and they were staying at Bruce Willis' house and we did the flowers at Bruce Willis' home.

"We took a boat to the island, we did the flowers and we were hurried out of the house because the couple were there."

The new couple reportedly spent their first night as husband and wife at Willis' home after exchanging vows in a beach ceremony.

Jennifer Lopez must be pissed ;)

ITA - married AND a baby. . is just what she wanted . . .unfortunately the world AND Ben got SICK of "Bennifer". :p

[nylons73]

FFL - That's exactly what I said to DH when we heard about it! I do feel for J-Lo. This is all that she ever wanted and she was dumped at the 11th hour really. Must be tough to read about this for her.

[stevesbabygirl]

I, for one, wanted to vomit when I heard this news. I don't like them as a couple at all, but if they are happy, then I wish them the best. She's cute, and I love her to death, and they do seem really happy together, but I just do not like Ben.

[Katy]

Wow, Kristen on E! just said that she heard that Jen is actually SIX months preggers! :eek: I've never been preggers, but she doesn't look that far along, does she?

[Dotsie]

Everyone is different. I started showing the moment I got pregnant. Either way I think she looks fabulous!!!

[mindy]

I really hope some photos will come out soon I can't wait to see it.

[granada]

She's cute, and I love her to death, and they do seem really happy together, but I just do not like Ben.
ITA with you, stevesbabygirl! But I do hope they are happy, and I wish them the best.

[stevesbabygirl]

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I was afraid I was going to get lynched :D!

[TX Sweetheart]

I don't like Ben all that much but they do make a cute couple and I like them much better than when he was with JLo

[chrisinluv]

I am worried about Jen. Ben seems to have turned into a complete slimeball the last few years. I sure hope she knows what she *may* have gotten herself into.

[maplekitty]

I highly doubt any pictures will be released, but if there are I can't wait to see them!!

[Wrighty26]

Wow, Kristen on E! just said that she heard that Jen is actually SIX months preggers! :eek: I've never been preggers, but she doesn't look that far along, does she?

It is hard to believe she's 6 months already... I read somewhere that on Kevin Smith's blog he reveals that she just found out the sex of the baby (he's directing her in a movie right now). You would think that she would find of the sex sooner than 6 months, wouldn't you?? Maybe she's somewhere around 20-24 weeks-- which I guess can be rounded up to 6 months?

:D I too hope that they release some wedding pictures for us :) I think they are VERY cute together!

Ben & Jen were snapped in Vancouver yesterday, where Garner is shooting the movie Catch & Release.

While they may not be as "hot" as Paris & Paris, Garffleck does geniunely look like they are in love.

And, those nerdy glasses on Jen are HOT!

hehe :p

(YAY! I just hit my 100th post!)

[FutureFirstLady]

I like his Kermit shirt too. Jen has a cute "pouch"!

[lawyerlee]

*Sigh* I just LOVE them! :D :D :D

[maplekitty]

HHrrmmm...I wonder if they are doing special screen shots of her since her new baby-pouch is getting noticable. How long are they filming for? she's going to start showing much more in the coming months.


OOOhhh...and, I love!!! love love seeing a newly married man and his wedding ring. It's also cute how they usually always play with it and twiddle it because it's so un-natural to be wearing a ring everyday :)

[Camdynlyn]

I don't keep up with the thread but I heard somewhere they will work in Jen's pregnancy into Alias. I don't watch the show but that is what was said.

[michael'sbride]

Jen looks so adorable in that white dress. So darn cute!

[Wrighty26]

Wow-- he looks really good there! (Minus the confused looks :p)

I think the reason I like him and Jennifer together is that they are NORMAL. It's not about the bling, it's not about the hair/makeup, it's definitely not about the publicity-- it's so damn cute!!

Edited to say-- just saw this!

http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b5d926b3127cce92e8afa5bc6b00000016108HcM3DJqo

It's really small/blurry-- but that's definitely them...

[sarahh]

YESSSSSSSSS! Even though it is small I can still see the HUGE smile on her face! So cute!

Is that a pic of the ceremony? Maybe it's afterward? I don't see any guests. The man in the tan suit looks like Victor Garber (her co-star in Alias).

Where did you find that pic?

[sarahh]

Here it is just a little bit larger...

http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/3013/wedding1ug.jpg

[Wrighty26]

It was on that "gallery" website... I bet there will be more pictures soon :)

I was also thinking that was definitely Victor Garber-- who is the dude holding the flower?

She looks so cute!

[AusMarchBride]

She looks gorgeous and very very happy. Wonderful to see :D

[sarahh]

I was also thinking that was definitely Victor Garber-- who is the dude holding the flower?So my friend and I think that Victor Garber officiated the ceremony and the guy holding the flower might be like a man-of-honor? Maybe she did that instead of a maid-of-honor? He could be holding her Calla Lily while they recite their vows?

[nya]

Those pics were showed on Extra last night.

I agree, it definitely look like Victor Garber on the picture.

[sarahh]

Those pics were showed on Extra last night.

I agree, it definitely look like Victor Garber on the picture.Was there more than just that one?

[nya]

Actually, maybe there was just one. Sorry my error. The picture was on the the cover of the National Enquirer and Star magazine. Extra showed the cover page of those magazines on their show last night.

I just checked the Star's website and they have the picture up: http://www.starmagazine.com/

[Rose]

She looks so happy! The dress seems like a bit much for the beach, IMO, but it's very pretty. That's so cool if VG performed the ceremony.

[bunnyboo]

OMG how cute are they...it seems so much more real than with JLo. I never thought they "matched" well anyway. Marriage and Father to be role is making him hotter and hotter every day!!!

[taraw]

I am so glad at least one picture has leaked out! They really do seem like a couple that is truly in love. I think Ben will be a great daddy!

[LeslieandPaul]

Yeah!!! A picture!! It looks like she has a HUGE grin on her face. I wonder who took that? And if it was a passerby on a boat, did they know who it was at first?
Hope we get to see more!

[Natasha]

Used to be, I could not stand him! He irritated the crap out of me. But, being with Jennifer Garner has definetly made him more attractive in my eyes...

[maggieb]

He is so gorgeous! Look at that bod. Such a hottie.

[meatpie]

This time of year, sunset comes to the Parrot Cay resort in the Caribbean about 7:30 p.m. It's an enchanted moment, as a hush falls over the tiny, secluded island in the Turks and Caicos chain and the loudest sound to be heard is that of waves slapping against white coral sand. It was in this intensely romantic twilight moment that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck chose to exchange wedding vows on the beach on June 29.

ROMANCE ON THE BEACH
And Jen, four-months pregnant with Ben's baby and wearing a generously cut white Empire-waisted wedding dress with a green sash, couldn't have looked lovelier — or happier, while Ben looked thin and trim in a cream-colored suit. It appears that Jen's old friend — and TV dad — Victor Garber officiated at the simple nondenominational ceremony. Afterwards, a source says Jen leaped into her new husband's arms, hugging and kissing him before they headed back up the beach to a small reception at Bruce Willis' luxurious villa (he had loaned it to old friend and Armageddon co-star Ben), where they and their guests celebrated with champagne and cake.

An eyewitness told Star that the couple appeared ecstatic. "Ben and Jen looked like they were in total bliss. They were bathed in golden sunlight, the sunset was absolutely perfect and it was a very beautiful scene. Jen had a huge smile on her face, and Ben seemed to be cradling her — he was very protective of her. There was a lot of love between them." Their low-key surprise wedding — a solitary friend, holding a single white calla lily, and a photographer accompanied the couple and Garber onto the beach, and just a few select friends watched from nearby — was the culmination of months of rumors and speculation.

For more on Ben and Jen's wedding, including exclusive photos, pick up this week's issue of Star magazine on sale now!

[sarahh]

Thanks for posting that meatpie...it sounds like a beautiful and touching ceremony!!

[Rose]

I was wrong about the dress. I thought it was long sleeved,but looking at the Equirer in the store it's short sleeved. I like it a lot more for a beach wedding.

[sarahh]

Did they just have that one pic or were there more in the Enquirer?

[stevesbabygirl]

They got married on my 7 year dating anniversary :D!

[Rose]

I only saw the cover and it was the same pic.

[meatpie]

There are several pictures inside from the ceremony on the beach in STAR not the Enquirer. Looked real intimate and nice.

From what I could see it's an empire-waist gown with a green-colored sash. She wore a veil and looked reaaly happy.

[sarahh]

Note to self: Must go out and buy Star IMMEDIATELY. I normally wait until Monday for my co-worker to give me her copy (I give her my People), but I will definitely be buying this one! :p

[JennH]

I'm surprised Star has these and not People of Us Magazine. I will have to check it out.

[sarahh]

I broke down and bought the Enquirer today...they had a bunch of photos so I HAD to buy it! :o ;)

[KaliLily]

I bought Life & Style and In Touch magazines tonight. (Those $1.99 price tags get me almost every time!) According to In Touch, Ben & Jen are having a girl. And Ron Rifkin ("Sloan" on Alias) was quoted as stating he believed the pregnancy would be written into Alias. Am I the only one who finds it a little disturbing that Jen would have to play that she is pregnant with the child her RL EX? :eek: Soap writers would be proud!

[smiles33]

KaliLily I agree with you that it is trippy for Jen to have to even kiss her ex, let alone pretend to have a baby! I remember one episode they were actually in bed together kissing....OMG that is just weird.

Isn't it weird for Michael Vartan, too? I really thought they would kill him off after they broke up IRL. There's not the same chemistry there (season 1-- there was ELECTRICITY and she was still married then).

[southerner]

sarahh can/will you scan the pics, pretty please??? :D

[sarahh]

I don't have a scanner...but I can try and take a photo. ;)

[Wrighty26]

They actually have the pictures scanned in here (http://www.affleckgarner.celebrityhost.net/gallery/index.php?cat=5)

More info...Garner's hometown has shower for charity

By Associated Press
July 11, 2005

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Actress Jennifer Garner's hometown threw a massive baby shower for the mom-to-be and husband Ben Affleck -- but the gifts went to charity.

Hundreds of gift-bearing fans came to a West Virginia Power minor league baseball game on Saturday for "Jen and Ben Baby Shower Night."

Some 4,248 fans came, although Garner and Affleck were not in attendance. Fans named Jennifer and those who donated a gift were admitted free.

The promotion benefited the baby pantry for Starting Points, a nonprofit group serving children and the families of children under age 8.

Among the 410 donations were a car seat, diapers and baby food, Power account executive Matt Thompson said.

Garner, 33, star of the TV series "Alias," and actor Ben Affleck, 32, were not at the game. The couple wed last month.

She is so cute!

[sarahh]

http://img.timeinc.net/people/i/2005/gallery/rings/jgarner.jpgI LOVE that this is her engagement ring! So simple and beautiful!

[SQ2]

Ditto to what everyone else said. She is so cute and wholesome it almost makes me sick, but not quite because I still think she is awesome.

For some reason I thought she had a different e-ring?? Maybe that's her wedding band? I could be wrong though.

[ejs]

I peeked in The Star at the grocery store. The wedding pics are obviously taken by someone off-shore; they're blurry, but you can still see things. In my opinion, the best pic is after they're married and they're hugging and he's lifted her off the ground and she has a huge smile on her face. Very cute. Her wedding band is a plain platinum band.

Has anyone read who the one wedding witness was? It didn't say in The Star.

[miaclear]

Yea...I'm glad for some pictures :) I'm so happy for them.

[sarahh]

For some reason I thought she had a different e-ring?? Maybe that's her wedding band? I could be wrong though.She was seen with a more traditional e-ring for a little bit. Perhaps the eternity band above is the ring she wore in public? The show a pic of her wedding band in the most recent star and it is a very simple platinum band. And she was wearing it alone, with no e-ring.

Okay, I know it's been said before...but what's up with them and Starbucks?

[sarahh]

Plenty of people got to Starbucks every day. I think the reason why every pic we see of them lately is at Starbucks is because the Papparazzi know they got there everyday and they stake Ben and Jen out.

Definitely.

[anjuli]

It's good to see Jen weigh more now that she's pregnant. I've always thought she was too skinny (damn Hollywood and it's unrealistic image of women). Too bad she's going to go back to her pre-preggo size as soon as the baby is born. She looks so much better with more meat on her frame. I agree that their baby will be very cute. :D

Why does Ben look so scruffy lately?

okay, if they didn't start filming Alias until this month, there's NO WAY they can do anything BUT have Syd preggers. She's showing too much already. Now I'm really interested.

[LeslieandPaul]

okay, if they didn't start filming Alias until this month, there's NO WAY they can do anything BUT have Syd preggers. She's showing too much already. Now I'm really interested.

I was watching Entertainment Tonight in early to mid June and they were on the set of Alias-which was being filmed for next season-and you could kind of tell she was pregnant, but it wasn't super obvious. Crew members were quoted as saying they were "working around her pregnancy."

[Wrighty26]

Hmmm...that's conflicting to everything I've read...that they are definitely working her pregnancy into the show-- but not in the way we would expect.

I've also read that they don't offically start shooting the show until August 1st-- so maybe I'm just reading some old school stuff!!!

:)

[Rose]

I am pretty sure they are working the pregnancy into the storyline.

[Katy]

I'd think they'd HAVE to work it into the storyline (and those are the rumors that I've heard as well). I can't wait to see where it all goes, that's for sure.

[manda_kate]

I love them together! Jen is such a cute pregnant lady!

[sarahh]

Last I heard taping begins on August 1st and they are working her pregnancy into the storyline.

[Rose]

They are starting on my Bday! Happy Birthday to me! I hope this season is less self contained.

[sarahh]

Okay ... picture this ... Ben Affleck (Jennifer Garner's current husband) and Scott Foley (Jennifer Garner's last husband) run into one another at the same gym ... do you think they were sizing each other up in the locker room (if you know what I'm sayin')? Here are pictures of the guys after they left the gym:

I bet Jennifer was mortified when she found out about this chance meeting. The only thing that could make this whole scenario any weirder would be if Jennifer Garner ran into Jennifer Lopez at the grocery store ... ah, but life isn't that perfect.

Lopez "Depressed'"After Speaking About Affleck Baby
Jennifer Lopez was so stunned when an interviewer asked her how she felt about her ex-fiance Ben Affleck expecting a baby with Jennifer Garner, she declared that the subject "depressed" her. Affleck and Garner exchanged nuptials late last month in the Caribbean, shortly before confirming to the speculating public that they were expecting their first child together. But Lopez - who split with her Gigli co-star Affleck at the beginning of last year, four months before marrying Marc Anthony - wasn't expecting that she'd have to speak about the baby news when she sat for an interview with Elle magazine. Blushing, Lopez said of the pregnancy, "I hope that they're happy. You know, it's a beautiful thing. There are no hard feelings." But when Elle apologized for raising the subject, Lopez, who later admitted that becoming a mother is one of her ultimate dreams, responded, "Yeah, you depressed me."

Affleck and Garner Expecting a Girl?

Daredevil co-stars Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are reportedly expecting a girl - and they're considering naming her Violet. Emmy-nominated Alias leading lady Garner, who is due to give birth to her first child with husband Affleck later this year, is said to have left a telling sign of the baby's sex while filming her movie Catch & Release in Vancouver, Canada. A source explains, "She has a baby name book in her trailer. I don't know if they just like how (the name Violet) sounds or if it is a family name."

[KaliLily]

Ben's brother named his son Indiana. If B&J do have a girl, they could name her Virginia since J is from WV. Make state names a family theme! ;)

Affleck and Garner's daring movie (http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/celebrity/53562004.htm)

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are hoping to make a sequel of 'Daredevil' together.

The smitten couple, who met on the set of the action film and married earlier this year, are expecting a baby - but hope to collaborate on a possible follow up after their child is born.

Jennifer said about a possible 'Daredevil 2': "Ben says it's in the early stages but he is hopeful.

"It would be fun to work together again - not to mention convenient"

Meanwhile the star couple have sparked rumours they want to name their unborn baby daughter Violet.

Sources claim the 'Alias' beauty left a baby book in her trailer on the set of her latest film, 'Catch and Release', with the name 'Violet' highlighted.

Last month, it was revealed they are reportedly expecting a baby girl.

A source claimed they let slip the secret of their unborn baby's sex while in the Turks and Caicos Islands, where they married

According to America's In Touch magazine, Ben was overheard saying to his new wife: "My mom wants to know what we're going to name her, but I say, 'What does it matter what she's named if she has a healthy granddaughter?'

"Our baby will be perfect"

It didn't do much for me. It was OK, but *definitely* not worthy of a sequel!

[TX Sweetheart]

DH loved Daredevil (he claims it was more than for Jen) but I just couldn't get into it...

[Rose]

I didn't see it or Electra but didn't she die, and Electra was a Prequel?

[Katy]

I saw Electra but not Daredevil. She says in Electra that she died and was brought back to life and nursed/taught to fight, blah, blah

[Kimberland30]

Electra was a prequel.

My DD and I always wondered if Electra was alive at the end of Daredevil. Remember the braille necklace hanging from the tree branch at the end? To me they left it open to have her come back. I was surprised that I liked the movie, but I did. :)

[cocoa_femme]

Electra couldn't have been a prequel. Ben Affleck had a very small cameo in it. She didn't meet him until Dare Devil.

[KaliLily]

DH and I both enjoyed Dare Devil but were very unhappy with Elektra.

[LeslieandPaul]

Electra couldn't have been a prequel. Ben Affleck had a very small cameo in it. She didn't meet him until Dare Devil.

Electra was the sequel. In Daredevil she meets an untimely demise and she mentions this in Electra.

ETA: In Daredevil her Electra was incredibly close to her father and he's killed. In Electra she never sees her dad.

It didn't look like I would be. I like Jen, but I don't watch her TV show or anything. :)

[Sophia]

They look really happy together. :)

I thought Daredevil was ok. I was never that much of a fan of the comic.

I had wanted them to make a movie of Elektra since Frank Miller's graphic novel. But I heard the movie stank, and haven't seen it.

[maplekitty]

I liked the movies, but then I practice martial arts, so I was really into the fighting scenes. I like all those campy martial arts/comic book movies, LOL

...Jen Garner’s Action-Packed Pregnancy

Monday Aug 08, 2005 6:00am EST

Jennifer Garner may be pregnant, but she's not slowing down by any means. She's back to work on the set of her hit show Alias. "It's hard, it's 14 hours a day, you know?" her costar (and former beau) Michael Vartan tells us. "I hope she takes some time off. She needs to really take care of herself because she's such a workaholic. I can just see her working to the very last day saying, 'No, I really want to do this.'"

Vartan – who's remained good friends with Garner – is "very excited" about her pregnancy with new husband Ben Affleck. "I think it's fantastic,” he says. “Very cool." And Vartan will get to play dad in his own way: His secret-agent Michael Vaughn is the onscreen father to Sydney Bristow's baby-to-be on Alias.

Though he's sworn to secrecy about any specific plotlines, Vartan, whom we caught up with at the Freeze the Diseases celebrity hockey event in Valencia, Calif., says "it will be interesting to have to write around her for a while." Still, with all the action on the set, "the baby takes precedence over Alias," he says. "It's a no-brainer."

[bensgirl1222]

I still think she is adorable...but I agree the shoes have got to go! LOL

By theINSIDER's Marc S. Malkin

Can "Alias" survive without its leading lady, JENNIFER GARNER? Producers are hopeful. Source tells me that Garner has made it clear that she probably won't be returning to the show next year for a sixth season. Producers are apparently betting on this season's new co-star, RACHEL NICHOLS, to save the hit series. She plays a new spy being trained by Garner. If she's a hit, they're looking to make her the show's next star. Garner's rep didn't comment. An "Alias" rep says,"I haven't heard that so I can't confirm that."

[Rose]

Alias is my favorite show, and I hoping for a 6th season, but if it's without Jen they just need to call it quits.

Okay - that's the name I wanted for our baby if we were having a girl.... We are having a boy so couldn't use it. Plus, DH doesn't like it too much. But if I were to convince hubby to "let" me use it if we have a girl next, it will look like I'm copying Ben and Jen .. :o

I agree that Ben and J-Lo never really seemed "quite right", like they were manufactured somehow for the betterment of each others public persona....
I also like that photo of them together; it is very real! And all of the photos of him make him look like he will be a very good husband and father.

"Alias" butt-kicker JENNIFER GARNER has been keeping mum on becoming a mom as well as about her super-secret wedding to her new hubby BEN AFFLECK -- until now! The down-to-earth actress opens up on her private life.

"We were able to have a beautiful, private wedding, and I couldn't be happier," she says in the September issue of InStyle of her June 29 nuptials to her 'Daredevil' co-star. "My life is definitely changing for the better. I couldn't be happier or feel more comfortable with the direction it's going in."

The pair is expecting their first baby this winter and Jennifer does admit she's a bit nervous about the new addition. "Clearly I'm in the middle of a life shift," she says. "I don't know what things are going to be like, so of course I have moments of apprehension and in-over-my-head-ness. I think I'd be a fool not to."

She says she takes comfort in the fact that women become mothers every day -- and that hers will only be a phone call away! "I'm not the first person to have a baby and try to balance a relationship and work," she says. "And P.S. -- I had a really good role model. I know enough to know that when you get in a pickle ... call mom!"

As excited as she is about her new family, she knows to keep some things private. "It's so personal for me," she says. "The news of my pregnancy got out when I was in the middle of my first trimester. I hadn't even had a chance to tell my friends -- that alone was so ugly -- it made me hyperprotective."

The Emmy nominee knows there are dangers to people knowing too much. "I feel uncomfortable with people reading too much about my pregnancy or my relationship," she says. "It grosses me out. It's too sweet to read about or dissect or talk about."

But she does say she's learned a lot about marriage after she and her first husband SCOTT FOLEY divorced. "I wanted to see him as a white knight and was crushed whenever anything normal happened," she says of their marriage. "I wanted to be the princess. Now I'm much more willing to see myself as human and flawed, and accept someone -- the whole picture."

Jennifer admits she's more realistic about wedded bliss. "I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore," she says. "Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does -- and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be."

And it's always best for the star to not think too far into the future. "I've never had any luck thinking ahead," she says. "I always imagine a situation that isn't real, and real life always turns out better."

It is so nice to see Ben & Jen so happy and content. You can just see how in love they are in ALL of their pictures, but its particularly evident in those pics!

[GeekGirl]

Ooohh, subscribing! It's so nice to see such a happy couple after following the Brit & KFed thread for the last couple of weeks.

Jennifer Garner talks to InStyle about her pregnancy (http://www.celebrity-babies.com/2005/08/jennifer_garner_1.html)

Jennifer Garner is the cover model and feature story in the September issue of In Style. She talked to them about her marriage to Ben Affleck and her impending motherhood. Some choice quotes:

"Clearly I'm in the middle of a life shift," she says. "I don't know what things are going to be like, so of course I have moments of apprehension and in-over-my-head-ness. I think I'd be a fool not to."

She probably wouldn't like the Celebrity Baby Blog, let alone reading about herself on the site. She says, "I feel uncomfortable with people reading too much about my pregnancy or my relationship," she says. "It grosses me out. It's too sweet to read about or dissect or talk about."

"It's so personal for me," she says. "The news of my pregnancy got out when I was in the middle of my first trimester. I hadn't even had a chance to tell my friends -- that alone was so ugly -- it made me hyperprotective."

The issue hits the stands August 19th.

*********************************************

I'm sure she'd feel super comfortable with us! ;) I kinda feel like a freaky stalker now, but I guess I just don't care cause I'm still way into her. :D I got my magazine in the mail, and I am so freaking happy!

You're such a stalker Di! :p Thanks for sharing the pix - I love the second and third from the first post. :D

[Wrighty26]

Interesting....some of those pictures are from the last time she was on the cover of In Style! I still love her though :) I do feel bad them--- when you see the pictures of all the paparizzi stalking them, it's scary!

[sarahh]

Interesting....some of those pictures are from the last time she was on the cover of In Style! I was going to say, those pics are from a photoshoot she did in Hawaii for the last time she was in In Style. I wonder if she did a new shoot for this interview?

Just read this in my local newspaper (of all places):

BUN IN THE OVEN A GIRL FOR GARNER


The second edition of Bennifer, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, wed in June, baby due in November, are thinking pink. At the L.A. premiere of Terry Gilliam's ``The Brothers Grimm,'' starring Affleck's best bud Matt Damon, a friend rubbed the ``Alias'' star's belly and asked, ``Are you having a boy?'' to which Jen responded ``Guess again.'' The movie co-stars Heath Ledger, whose girlfriend/possible fiancee (a nice ring on her hand) Michelle Williams is pregnant with their baby, due in the fall, gender unknown.

[Natasha]

Michelle Williams is another preggo I just love. I think her and Heath Ledger are adorable...

[stevesbabygirl]

Sarah,

I LOVE your avatar! Kaysar is so hot! And he lives about 20 minutes from me :D!

[Rose]

She really has that pregnancy glow.

[julietchicago]

She is so adorable and I loveeee that shirt she has on!

[sarahh]

You know I was thinking...that adorable top she has on is a PERFECT illustration of how classy of a woman she is...compared to another pregnant star we all know.

If lil' Miss Brit were wearing that top, she wouldn't have worn the cute little pink cami underneath and she certainly wouldn't be wearing a bra!

Brit could stand to take a few lessons from Jennifer. She looks amazing!

[taraw]

I was thinking the exact same thing sarahh!

[sarahh]

Did you know that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner went to church? Neither did I ... but here's a picture of the newlyweds at the Peachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, GA from this past Sunday:

Brit would also be wearing shorts so up her butt you'd think it was supposed to be a dress.

I just love Ben & Jen.

[SNK2004]

Holy Cow! Jen is sooooooooooooo stinking cute! I love her little dimples in her smile!

[sarahh]

Holy Cow! Jen is sooooooooooooo stinking cute! I love her little dimples in her smile!She really is adorable! She's been my "girl crush" for about five years now! My hubby loves it! :p

OMG...that dress is soooooooo cute!! Actually, she's cute pretty much regardless of what she wears!

[wagsgirl]

I was reading US Weekly today and they had a bunch of pictures of the party in the park for Casey Affleck's birthday. At the end of the article, they had a little blurb about another mother to be we all know. The pics of Jennifer are all so gorgeous and she looks so cute and fashionable and then Brit looks like CRAP! Hair undone, stupid looking outfit and those dang boots!

Jen is the ultimate classy pg lady right now!!

[bethnjim]

I just love Jen and Ben!! So freaking cute together and Jen is just the cutest pregnant woman...totally classy as usual!!

[sarahh]

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner take a pit stop at a Wendy's fast food restaurant in Santa Barbara on their way to the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito for a romantic weekend getaway. The expecting couple were all smiles as they exited the restaurant after having a quick bite to eat and a restroom stop for the very pregnant Garner. Ben even posed with an awaiting fan on her camera phone before heading back into his Bentley GT and back on the road.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner attend a prenatal yoga session at a private residence in Brentwood. Ben met up with his newly wed at a house in Brentwood just after going to the gym himself. Ben just can't seem to kick the habit as he takes a puff of his cigarette while walking behind Garner. The Alias star shows how in love she really is by sporting a "Love" t-shirt then by planting a kiss on her beloved Daredevil. As Jen goes straight home to shower and change for their weekend getaway, Ben stops by a local Starbuck's for a couple of large-size beverages, holding both his and hers in one hand, before heading home.

Okay. I love Ben Affleck...I really do. But, why is his hat so small?

[MaineBelle]

I like Ben and Jen, but in these latest pictures, Ben's sloppy look with cigarette in hand is vaguely reminiscent of another soon to be expecting husband. (Has he been getting fashion advice from K-fed?)

[BrownEyedGirl]

I've gotta defend Ben...I don't think he's looking that bad. I think he has his car key in his hand, not a cigarette, and they just came from a yoga class...he's in work out clothes.

I think he looks fabulous as a husband and soon to be daddy! Very in love and happy.

He he. Everytime I see your name, I get confused. (My name is Bree, also.)

[IrishMeg]

The expecting couple were all smiles as they exited the restaurant after having a quick bite to eat and a restroom stop for the very pregnant Garner.

Man, that's what they call "very pregnant?" She looks better "very pregnant" than I do on a good day.

[bunnyboo]

I just have a correction to add...Santa Barbara doesn't have a Wendy's...so I wonder where that picture was actually taken. Hmmm, maybe a pit stop on the way to Santa Barbara.

[MaineBelle]

Oops, my mistake, it is a car key and not a cigarette. I was fooled by the text above the picture mentioning him smoking. I'm still not a fan of his yoga outfit though :)

[lawyerlee]

They were in LA when they went to Wendy's, according to the photo caption I read. Here's a couple more shots from that:
