Ben Affleck recently split from his girlfriend of one year Ana de Armas. As the 48-year-old actor tries to move on from the relationship, he's reportedly getting support from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. The former spouses have remained friendly since their separation in 2015.

"Ben is happy, healthy and doing great since his breakup with Ana," a source told Entertainment Tonight. "Ben’s friends and Jen Garner are supportive of him moving on. Those close to Ben thought the relationship wasn’t working for either of them anymore." 

"For now, he’s taking care of himself and focused on his kids," the source continued. "Ben and Ana still text regularly and communicate, so who knows what the future will hold for them.”

According to ET's sources, Affleck and de Armas' split was a "mutual decision" because they're in different stages of their lives. The former couple had a 16-year age between them, as well. "They both have a lot of love and respect for each other, but it was time for them to move on," the source explained. "At the end of the day, he chose to be the dad he continues to want to be. Unfortunately, they are in different places in their lives.”
