Jennifer Garner has reportedly emerged as a source of support for Jennifer Lopez amid her impending divorce from Ben Affleck.

Lopez and Garner formed a bond and are finding solace in each other's company during Lopez's challenging times in her marriage.

According to a source who spoke to Us Weekly, "She's been helpful to Lopez, and they've been relating to each other. Garner has been a surprising person for Lopez to talk to."

Garner and Affleck split in 2015 after a decade of marriage. They share three children - Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.

Their divorce was officially settled in 2018, but despite this, the former partners have frequently come together over the years to co-parent their children.

As speculation started circulating, another insider disclosed to Us Weekly that Garner had been actively motivating Affleck to focus on strengthening his marriage. She wholeheartedly backs their relationship and sincerely wishes him happiness.

The source highlighted the 13 Going on 30 star's experience with the pressures it can bring to a marriage.

Another report claims that Lopez braces herself for a controversial divorce showdown with Affleck.

The "Jenny From the Block" singer reportedly bore the brunt of financial responsibilities throughout their marriage, as the Gone Girl star was said to voice discontent with spending money.

Insiders familiar with Lopez's situation disclosed that she is experiencing feelings of betrayal as she prepares for their upcoming separation and intends to pursue a fair share of Affleck's reported $150 million wealth.

Radar Online reported that Affleck may face a costly separation from Lopez if they decide to part ways, as the Hustlers actress is seeking to claim half of his wealth as she was the one covering expenses throughout their almost two-year marriage.

An insider revealed that Lopez, whose estimated net worth is $400 million, is considering seeking compensation from her soon-to-be ex-husband for financially supporting their extravagant lifestyle during their time together.

The Batman v. Superman actor frequently expressed dissatisfaction with his expenses, prompting his wife to refrain from approaching him to prevent being subjected to his criticisms regarding her financial decisions.

They told the outlet, "One of the little-known secrets is Jennifer paid for much of their marital expenses and now she feels he owes her."

"She's adding up all those private jet bills she puts on her plastic, the hotels, and meals, clothes, coffee runs, gas. The high cost of living was done on her dime. She paid the lion's share for that $60 million mansion they bought, too."
