New reports have just surfaced which suggest that former Alias star Jennifer Garner is pregnant again.

The wife of Hollywood actor Ben Affleck is expecting the couple’s second child, friends have revealed, telling the National Enquirer that Garner made the announcement “a few days before” Independence Day.

“A few days before the Fourth of July, Jen began calling close pals with the news that she was pregnant again,” said a source. “Jen said she’s three months along – and she and Ben are ‘ecstatic.’”

The actress, who gave birth to first child Violet in December 2005, is due with her second baby early next year. “She and Ben are still deciding whether they’ll ask the sex of the child,” added the source.

Garner’s pregnancy is yet to be confirmed, with the couple’s rep, Ken Sunshine, refusing to comment. “We don’t comment on the personal lives of our clients,” he said.

“It was probably bad for my career. What happens is this sort of bleed-over from the tabloids across your movie work. You go to a movie, you only go once. But the tabloids and Internet are everywhere. You can really subsume the public image of somebody. I ended up in an unfortunate crosshair position where I was in a relationship and [the media] mostly lied and inflated a bunch of salacious stuff for the sake of selling magazines. And I paid a certain price for that. Then, in concert with some movies that didn’t work…”

This time, we see candids of Ben Affleck and Jen Garner’s little girl, Violet, sharing a tender moment with her daddy on the beach.

Look at that little sun hat…how adorable!!!

What’s with the beach, though…a pile of rocks seems like a pretty poor excuse for a beach…guess it’s just what you get used to (here in Oz we have great white sandy beaches).

I would have thought his minders would have suggested that perhaps being interviewed while drunk is not the best thing to do for his image.

And as far as professional interviews go she is acting like a flaky, giggly high school girl, or maybe she is playing it just the way her producer wanted it done, in which case she is bloody brilliant. She got him making a complete dick of himself, so if that was the plan, it worked perfectly.
