It feels like just yesterday when the world was captivated by the news of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reigniting their romance, a nostalgic sequel to their iconic early 2000s love story.

Yet, two years into this glamorous reboot, whispers of uncertainty surround the status of their relationship once more. Is "Bennifer 2.0" coming to an end? The Jennifers are working together to make sure that does not happen.

According to an exclusive report by Daily Mail UK, Jennifer Lopez has been seeking support from Ben Affleck's ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, as she strives to salvage her marriage. Surprisingly, the latter is more than willing to help.

Sources suggest that both women are concerned about Affleck potentially compromising his sobriety.

Garner, 52, was recently photographed arriving at Affleck's temporary residence in Brentwood, where he has reportedly been staying amid rumors of marital instability. While this has sent some tongues wagging, it appears that Lopez has no issue.

Affleck, 51, who reunited with Lopez in 2021, has been spotted without his wedding ring on occasion, while the 54-year-old singer attended a recent film event solo.

Although they presented a united front during a recent public appearance in LA, their prolonged absence from the spotlight has fueled speculation about the state of their relationship.

Insiders reveal that Lopez has sought solace in Garner's counsel, given her unique understanding of the situation.

The source told Daily Mail UK, "Lo has been confiding in Jen because she knows that she is one of the only people in the world who would understand what she is going through."

The source added, "she has been through it with the same man herself and although the circumstances were quite different it is still the same man and they both dealt with some of the same issues."

The source revealed that Garner, currently in a relationship with businessman John Miller, is invested in preserving Lopez and Affleck's marriage, recognizing Lopez's stabilizing influence in her ex-husband's life.

The source explained, "Jen does not want Ben to pull the plug on this marriage because she really does care about JLo."

The source also revealed the real reason why Garner went to Affleck's home alone: She allegedly told Affleck to solve his marriage with Lopez.

"JLo was told several times by Jen how valued she is in all their lives. She is one of the only women who can get through to Ben and keep him from jumping off the deep end with his addiction," the source added.

Those close to Affleck observe a recurring behavioral pattern in how he handles marital challenges.

"Ben is feeling overwhelmed because he lacks an outlet for his issues, prompting him to seek escape," the source elaborated.
