OK! Magazine is known for making up celebrity pregnancy stories to move copies, so take this story for what it is: speculation on the state of Jennifer Garner’s womb based on some unflattering photos of her. While the title says “Jen’s Pregnant,” that’s not what the article claims at all. Inside, the magazine claims that Garner and Affleck have been in therapy, that they want to have a fourth child and that it could be happening for them, judging from recent photos of Garner. If that’s what’s going on good for them, but this reads like wishful thinking on OK!’s part. They don’t even quote a “source” to confirm this alleged pregnancy, the “source” only talks about the state of the Garner-Affleck’s marriage. Plus in new photos (the striped shirt photos here are from yesterday) Garner looks less “pregnant” and more like she’s wearing a loose shirt. Here’s part of OK!’s cover story:
Insiders are reporting that Jen, who on July 18 was spotted in L.A. with a noticeable bump, is likely already expecting! If so, it would be perfect timing.
“They’ve been going through a very rough patch,” says an insider, “and Jen will do anything to make Ben happy.”
Ben, 41, who’s currently filming Batman v Superman in Detroit, has proven himself a doting family man. But he’s becoming increasingly restless in recent years, risking large sums at casinos in Las Vegas – and even during his downtime in Detroit. He’s also managed to ignite several cheating rumors, which echo his 2003 scandal, when a Vancouver stripper said they hooked up during his engagement to Jennifer Lopez.
Sources say that Jen, 42, knows another pregnancy is the only surefire way to get Ben to refocus on their relationship – even though she’s the one making the compromise…
But with their share of marital woes – and having already tried counseling, to no great effect – the source says, “Having another baby may be their last-ditch effort to mend the marriage.”

Garner has looked pregnant to me when she wasn’t before, particularly because she’s so thin and wears a lot of baggy clothing. I also think when she gains a little weight or eats something that makes her gassy her stomach puffs out. She looks more pregnant than she has in the past, but it’s hard to tell and I doubt she is. I could be wrong, she could be expecting another one. I get the sense that she wouldn’t mind and that she’s going to do the heavy lifting anyway, which is basically what Affleck has said in interviews, that she’s the hands-on parent. OK! quotes Garner saying in 2012 that “I am not anticipating having any more kids!” and that “it will be an uphill battle” to convince her despite the fact that Ben wants kids.
