"Jen gets him like no one else and as the mother of his three kids, she'll always be on a pedestal for Ben. He'll never stop having regrets that he let her walk away."

Meanwhile, Affleck's most recent ex, Lopez, is said to not be too happy with Garner, 52, as the Alias alum was "constantly casting a shadow" over their doomed marriage.

The 55-year-old is now looking to show the dad-of-three what exactly he's missing now that they are not in a relationship anymore.

While Lopez is hoping to leave Affleck drooling for her again, the actor is going through his own transformation as he is said to be planning to laser off his much-talked about giant back tattoo.

The Justice League actor was first spotted with the massive, odd etching of a phoenix rising from the flames covering his entire back in 2016, leading plenty of fans to mock Affleck.

Affleck at first pretended the tattoo was fake, but later admitted it was real and "meaningful" to him.

During his marriage to Lopez - which ran for just two years until their split earlier this year - the couple reportedly fought over the tattoo, as he refused to get it removed. However, things have now changed with Affleck back out on the market.

A insider previously said: "He's scheduling sessions with tattoo removal specialists to get rid of it bit by bit. It's a huge piece so it's going to take time, but he's already had a consultation - It's all part of his big post-divorce makeover."

The director's decision has left ex Lopez fueming, especially after how hard she tried to get him to remove the ink.

The source said: "She begged him to get rid of it for so long and he wouldn't. He'd get really offended any time she brought it up.

"But now that he's single and having to take his shirt off for other women, he's suddenly ready to remove it."

"When J.Lo finds out, she's absolutely going to take it personally!" the insider added.
