Is This Bennifer Forever?

By Rebecca Winters

The last time that he planned to marry a lady named Jen, decoy brides were hired and joint statements were issued to deflect the media horde. This time, despite magazine reports of his recent engagement to Alias star JENNIFER GARNER, 33, BEN AFFLECK, 32, is just keeping mum. And so are their spokesfolks. The photogenic pair, who met on the set of Daredevil in 2002 and confirmed their rumored romance with some canoodling in Fenway Park at last year's World Series, have carried out a much quieter courtship than Affleck's former dalliances with Jennifer Lopez (now married to a musician) and Gwyneth Paltrow (now married to a musician). After nine months of dating, Affleck and Garner are quietly telling friends they plan to marry, according to PEOPLE. For the alleged wedding, may we suggest a bunker?
