Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner ‘still share emotional intimacy’ years after divorce: body language expert
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s body language at a recent paintball outing shows a continued level of “emotional intimacy,” experts told Fox News Digital.
Affleck and Garner were smiling the whole time. They had “a bunch of good energy around them,” a source told Fox News Digital about the outing. “You can just tell they were mainly there for their kid.”
Co-parenting seemed “very great,” and they had a “very good time,” the insider added. “Nothing bad between them.”
Affleck and Garner’s behavior indicates they “still share emotional intimacy,” a body language expert told Fox News Digital.
In a recent video, Affleck hugs Garner while she aims her paintball gun at an unseen target. After the hug is not returned by Garner, Affleck drops his arms and aims his own paintball gun while the moment of closeness seems to pass.
Many couples who are divorced and co-parenting stand with distance between their bodies as a way to maintain emotional distance,” body language expert Nicole Moore said. “However, Ben and Jen’s bodies appear to be actively leaning in toward one another, indicating that they still share emotional intimacy.
“When Ben turns to hug Jennifer, he reaches his arms around her with completely relaxed arms, indicating he’s very comfortable touching her in this way, and he squeezes her in slightly as if he really wants to be as close as possible to her.
“Typically, when men and women who are not in a relationship hug, they often subconsciously leave a bit of space in between them in the pelvis area as a way of signaling that the hug is friendly and not romantic.”
