Does Ben Affleck really prohibit wife Jennifer Garner from having male friends?

During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live this week, a fan called in and asked Mark Ruffalo if he still keeps in touch with his 13 Going on 30 costar Jennifer Garner. Ruffalo said no, adding, "We had a great time together, and I think we would, but then Ben [Affleck] came on the scene. And that was the end of that."

"I heard he doesn't allow her to have male friends?" host Andy Cohen asked, adding, "I made that up."

Ruffalo just shrugged and pleaded the fifth.

This is the second time Affleck has come up on Watch What Happens Live in the past week. Jennifer Lopez recently stopped by the show and Cohen brought up her former fiancé. "Was the transformation of Ben Affleck your doing?" he asked. "Did you dress him when you were dating him?"

"I did kind of like, say, 'You're a movie star! You should wear a suit! You should do this with your hair!' For sure. I mean, I do that," the singer admitted. "[He] was into it. He didn't do anything he didn't want to do...He had some good fashion moments when he was with me!"
