Well, this is just speculation, of course, but from what I've heard, Jennifer Garner was filming Elektra in Canada when she 're-met' with Ben Affleck for him to film a cameo in the movie. This was while Jennifer and Michael were still dating (and for about a year, too). Interestingly enough, after Elektra wrapped up and Jennifer returned, Vartan and Garner suddenly split up. What's more, rumors about Garner and Affleck started swirling, and later they were confirmed... For some reason I can't imagine that Garner suddenly decided to run to Affleck so soon after calling it quits on a one-year relationship... And while Garner has gone and gotten married and pregnant in the past year with Affleck (about the same amount of time she was with Vartan), Vartan hasn't been in a relationship since, although he has always expressed interest in starting a family...
