Jen & Josh's Secret Romance

Both recovering from painful splits, a source tells OK! That Jennifer Garner and Josh Duhamel are giving love another shot — with each other!

- 

When Jennifer Garner stepped out on the Atlanta set of her upcoming film Love, Simon last March, onlookers couldn’t help but notice that the actress had a spring in her step. It had been nearly two years since she and her husband of 10 years, Ben Affleck, had separated, and it seemed that she was finally ready to start a new chapter. “I’ve never seen her look so happy,” a source told reporters at the time.

Now, the world may be about to learn what — or who — has finally brought a smile back to Jen’s face: According to sources, it’s none other than her costar Josh Duhamel! On-set insiders say the chemistry between the handsome actor — who announced his split from wife Fergie last September — and Jen was “off the charts,” and friends are buzzing that the pair are spending more and more time together since beginning the project last year. “They’ve both been through such a tough time,”

shares one source. “Finding each other at that particular moment turned out to be a blessing.”
