Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck Expecting Third Baby
Possibly five-months pregnant Jennifer Garner spotted with a baby bump
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have recently confirmed that another baby is on its way, welcoming their third child into their ever-growing family.
The couple, both 39, told The Associated Press that they were “thrilled” to have their next baby, though unsure if it will be a boy or a girl.
Us magazine captured photos of the “Alias” star shopping at The Grove in Los Angeles with her two little girls, Violet and Seraphina, on Sunday, sporting a little baby bump.

People are speculating that the baby may be about five months along, which means the pair would be expecting their third child sometime in December or early January.
Affleck and Garner, who starred in “Daredevil” together in 2003, may have met first on the set of “Pearl Harbor,” though Garner only had a small role as a nurse.
They publicly began dating in October 2004 when they attended the Boston Red Sox’s opening World Series game.
The two have been married since June 2005, having dated for nearly a year before Affleck proposed. At that time, Garner was pregnant with their first child Violet Anne, who was born on December 2005.
Four years later, little sister Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, now 2, was born. And now as the couple eagerly awaits their next baby, the soon-to-be family of five may finally be complete.
A source close to the All-American Hollywood couple told Us magazine that Garner always wanted three kids. “This was her plan all along.”
Since the arrival of their second child, life has been hectic. “It’s crazy, it’s like having 10 kids,” Garner told David Letterman previously.
“You have one and you think you start to know what you’re doing and you have it under control. And then you have the other one and it all just goes to hell in a hand basket!”
But despite the craziness with two children, both stars, now seasoned parents, find that parenthood was easier the second time around.
“If we could all just be second-time parents the first time around!” Garner added. “When our oldest was a baby [Affleck] was so careful with her, and delicate, but with the second he’s just flinging her around.”
Affleck has always been open about his love for his daughters. “I love being a father, it’s wonderful. It’s changed my life,” he previously told People magazine.
The much-beloved couple, though busy with family life, have not put their careers on hold in the meantime.
Garner, who was most recently seen in the film “Arthur,” will star in several upcoming movies including “Butter,” a comedy that she produced.
She will also star in “The Odd Life of Timothy Green” which will be released in August 2012.
Her husband, who directed and starred in “The Town,” will also take a lead role in Terrence Malick’s next project and may also star in a thriller entitled “Argo.”
