Jennifer Garner Seen Hugging Unknown Man Inside Car In LA; Has To Reunite With Ben Affleck For Funeral

Jennifer Garner may have truly moved on from estranged husband Ben Affleck as she was recently spotted hugging and sharing hearty laughs with an unknown man inside a SUV.

In photos taken by ET Online, the 43-year old actress is animatedly talking and smiling at a mystery man behind the wheels of an SUV parked near the Country Mart shops in Brentwood where she and the Batman actor reside.

The publication reckoned that the actress, dressed in a pair of casual blue jeans, black shirt and without her wedding ring, spent thirty minutes talking to the mystery man. In the end, she hugged the man twice before leaving the vehicle.

This is the second time that Jen was rumored to be dating. Earlier this week, she was rumored to be 'secretly dating' and had done 'lots of skyping and texting' with her 2009 Valentine's Day co-star Patrick Dempsey, Daily Mail said.

"They've been friends for years... It was only natural for them to confide in each other. As soon as they started talking, the spark was evident to both of them. Jen was relieved - and excited. They had great chemistry and it was obvious to everyone around them," a source who first told Ok! Magazine said.

There were also rumors that the Alias actress went out with Dempsey for dinner, a moment that has lasted the whole weekend.

As for the recent unknown man, ET! Online learned that it was the actress' accountant who has no romantic involvement with the actress.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck reunited to put up a united front during the funeral of their mutual friend, writer and producer Sean Whitesell on Saturday.

In photos posted in Mirror, the couple came up with matching black outfits-Jen with a simple black dress and Ben in a black and white suit.
