Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have the never-ending bromance. Don?t even try to say that those boys are gay either, because that is so 1998. More than a decade after their Oscar win for best screenplay, Ben and Matt?s friendship is still really solid. They?ve weathered high-profile relationships, The Jason Bourne trilogy, rehab, J-Lo. And now both men are happily married with two daughters each (and Matt is stepfather to a third girl).
Ben is starting to gear up for the promotional tour of State of Play. The film looks really, really good, but Affleck is barely in the trailer, so I?ve got to wonder how much the studio is going to put him front and center to sell this movie. Perhaps it?s part of Ben?s multi-year public relations strategy to ?rebrand? himself from stripper-loving, J-Lo engagin? film poison to happy, well-adjusted, loving family man, actor-director and humanitarian. It seems to be working, so kudos to his publicist.
Affleck sat down with People to talk friendship, marriage and whether he and Matt will actually work together again:
They were close childhood friends, collaborated on the script for 1997’s Good Will Hunting and then won Oscars for it. And even after Hollywood success and “ballooning” families, Ben Affleck says his friendship with Matt Damon has not only gotten stronger, with shared vacations, but they’re planning another movie together.
“It’s cool,” Affleck, 36, told PEOPLE of his and Damon’s enduring bond, which includes mixing and mingling with their wives and kids. Affleck has two daughters with wife Jennifer Garner while Damon, also 36, has two daughters with wife Luciana Barroso.
“We went on vacation last summer,” says Affleck, who plays a congressman opposite Russell Crowe in the new thriller State of Play. “It’s nice. It always has been. He’s got his family ballooning, and we’re doing okay ? it’s nice.”
With the two having never veered from their shared Boston upbringing, Affleck observes, “I think it would be the same for anybody. You’re friends when you are young, you have a certain life. Then in your 20s you have a different life. In your 30s you get married and have families.”
Given such a perspective, Affleck adds, “It’s a different kind of satisfaction being around your friends, the friends you grew up with. They have kids, have barbecues and that kind of deal. That is really satisfying, too. It’s one of the nice things about having friends for a long time.”
Equally nice is that, with recent arrival Seraphina Rose joining daughter Violet, 3, at home, Affleck says, “I am very lucky. I feel blessed to look around and see that I’ve got a healthy family and a job. Especially nowadays, you really feel very good.”
When it comes to being a dad, he’s mastered many of the duties ? including how to mash bananas properly ? that his wife was once worried would require supervision.
“I’m in a pretty good zone right now,” says PEOPLE’s 2002 Sexiest Man Alive. “I say that, and I’ll go home to find everything exploded, [but] so far, so good.”
All in all, he says, “I really am happy with what I’m doing now. In fact, I’ve never been at a place where I’ve felt better about going to work every day. I’m more engaged and very, very happy ? I’ve really gotten comfortable with the things that are important to me.”
“Matt is always pretty busy but claiming that he’s going to try and slow it down a little bit,” says his buddy. “He doesn’t mind taking a year to wait. I would love to, it’s great, and we’re both busy. Matt lives in Miami, so it’s hard to get a chance to see him. If we work together it’s an excuse to hang out.”

It?s nice that Ben and Matt are still friends, and I like how the relationship has evolved over the years. Part of the reason I think the gay rumor got some traction was because they were always together back in the day. As they?ve grown up, they?re more like college buddies who plan family vacations together once a year.
I totally forgot that People named Ben Affleck as the Sexiest Man Alive in 2002. What were they thinking? Ah, back when Affleck when hot stuff. The halcyon days of 2002. Brings a tear to my eye.

Following a day of shopping at the local country mart, Jennifer Garner was all smiles as she picked up daughter Violet from school on Thursday afternoon (February 26).
The “Juno” actress mommy and her little girl then headed off shopping at a Williams-Sonoma store before grabbing up a frozen yogurt at Pinkberry.
Despite dressing in a loose-fitting shirt, it appears that Jen has shed most of her post-pregnancy weight after giving birth to her second daughter just last month.
Meanwhile, Miss Garner is gearing up for the spring release of her new movie “The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past” - which hits theater May 1, 2009.
The Mark Waters directed romantic comedy tells the story of “a bachelor who’is haunted by the ghosts of his past girlfriends at his younger brother’s wedding.”

After welcoming their second daughter Seraphina Rose in January, Jennifer Garner invited her mother to come stay with her and husband Ben Affleck. This has caused some problems for Affleck - he now shares his home with four women. Two daughters, a wife and a mother-in-law might be too much for one man to take. The National Enquirer is reporting that Affleck is suffering from ?estrogen overload?.
But it?s not serious. At least not yet. Affleck, they say, just needs to hang out with some guys. Perhaps a camping trip? Or Affleck could go old-school and go hang out at a strip club with Christian Slater. Would strippers help or hurt Affleck?s ?estrogen overload?? What Affleck does instead is call his buddy Matt Damon - but they don?t talk about the Red Sox anymore, they talk Barbies!
Macho movie hunk Ben Affleck is suffering from estrogen overload!
The ?Pearl Harbor? star is the odd man out in a house full of four females - his wife, Jennifer Garner, their three year old daughter Violet, their new baby Seraphine Rose and now his mother-in-law Pat, who moved in after the baby was born Jan. 6.
And while he loves them all dearly, the Oscar winner is complaining about drowning in girl power, sources say.
?On one hand, Ben is thrilled that Jen?s mom is pitching in to help with the girls, but on the other hand, he feels like he?s lost the battle of the sexes!? an Affleck family friend told the Enquirer.
?Ben keeps talking about how desperate he is to get away for a guy?s weekend. The poor guy needs a weekly retreat away from the girly-ness?
[Ben is] getting moral support from his lifelong pal Matt Damon, whose wife gave birth to a girl in August, making him the dad to two girls and a step-father to a third.
?Ben is leaning on Matt,? the source said. ?Not long ago they?d call each other to discuss the Red Sox or poker. Now all they talk about is Barbie dolls and princesses!?
To make things worse, Jen?s mom often invites Violet?s little friends over for tea parties, and Ben gets roped in.
?Ben?s a good sport, but he?s had to draw the line after a few sessions of playing dress-up,? the source said.
Meanwhile, the 38-year-old actor has been pushing wife Jen, who is also 36, for one more baby, said the source.
?Ben adores the girls, but he told Jen he doesn?t want to stop until they have a son. He?s hoping third time?s a charm for a boy.?
[From the print edition of the National Enquirer]
I love the part about Ben and Matt on the phone talking about Barbies and princesses. Something about that rings true, probably because I believe it more of Matt than Ben. Out of the two of them, Matt Damon really seems to be the utterly devoted and worshipful father and husband. Ben still has that look in his eye like he might want a way out. Maybe it?s just me, I don?t know.
We reported several weeks ago that Affleck is desperate for a son, and I found it strange that so many people were like ?Oh, yeah, most men are like that.? I?m not so sure. Yes, it?s one thing for a man to be hopeful for a son, to openly wish for a son, but it?s quite another for a guy to be harassing his wife, who has just given birth, to get pregnant once again, and this time she needs to make it a boy. It just seems like he isn?t really appreciating what he has - everyone healthy, everyone happy. I wonder what Victor Garber has to say about all of this.

Making her mommy rounds, Jennifer Garner was spotted picking her daughter Violet up from her Santa Monica school yesterday (February 18).
Doing her best to avoid the paparazzi, the “Alias” actress moved quickly from the parking garage door to her vehicle, carrying her toddler on her hip.

After welcoming their second baby girl, Seraphina Rose, in January, Ben Affleck is trying to convince his wife Jennifer Garner to get pregnant again - this time with a boy. The couple welcomed their first child, Violet, in 2005. Although he’s thrilled with his two lovely girls, Affleck is said to be desperate for a son. This is all according to a ?source? close to Affleck, willing to talk to OK! Magazine. Apparently, it all involves some elaborate scheme involving baby-sized Red Sox gear.
Jen Garner has told Ben and her friends that she?s ?done?. I guess she feels that she provided him with the royal heir and a spare, both girls, and her work is over. But Jen is a big softie when it comes to her husband?s wishes - so perhaps Victor Garbor will be announcing another pregnancy sometime soon.
Daddy Ben Affleck is thrilled that his new baby girl, Seraphina Rose, born Jan. 6, has joined daughter Violet, 3, in his growing brood. But a friend of the He’s Just Not That Into You star says he’s already lobbying wife Jennifer Garner to get pregnant again–and this time, with a boy!
“Ben’s happy to keep going until he gets his boy,” says a friend, who notes the star’s fanatical love for the Boston Red Sox. “He has visions of dressing a little guy in Red Sox gear, tossing a baseball around and cheering in the stands together.”
Jen, however, has other plans! “She’s told friends that she’s done,” a friend of the couple, both 36, tells OK!. “She jokes with Ben, ‘If you want more babies, you’ll have to find a way to produce them yourself!’”
But Ben is convinced he’ll change Jen’s mind–eventually. And he may be right!
“Jen is a big softie when it comes to giving Ben what he wants,” says the friend. And if Ben remains the lone male in the Affleck household? “He’ll have those little girls dressed head-to-toe in Red Sox gear!”
From OK! Magazine
Yeah, a plea for somebody to gear up in Red Sox stuff is not exactly a declaration of ?please have another one of my babies?. And what?s so wrong about putting Violet and Seraphina in Red Sox gear? True, it?s a bit gaudy, but they won?t grow rebellious for years. So will Jen Garner give in and have another baby? And what if it?s another girl? Will Ben be ?disappointed?? He?s a douche if he doesn?t appreciate what he has - two healthy girls and a loving wife.

Leaving her two little girls back at home, Jennifer Garner stopped for a bite to eat with a gal pal at Le Pain Quotidien in Brentwood, California on Saturday (January 31).
After giving birth to her second daughter, Seraphina Affleck, only two weeks ago, the “Juno” actress already looks in amazing shape and back in the swing of things as she ran errands throughout the day.
