Jennifer Garner's role in Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's supposed troubled marriage is getting confusing by the second. One minute, some reports claim she's the voice of clarity for Affleck and Lopez so that they can make their marriage work; the next? She's the main villain. One minute she's Jennifer Lopez's main confidante, the next? She's the competition.
Jennifer Lopez has reportedly cautioned Jennifer Garner to steer clear of Ben Affleck as rumors swirl about their marriage heading towards divorce. "J Lo didn't come right out and tell Jen to back off - both women have been down this road before and know their boundaries - but she did tell Ben that his ex needs to stay away from him and butt out of their personal drama," OK Magazine reported.
In Touch Weekly also reported that J Lo, aged 54, is displeased with the frequent encounters between her husband and his ex-wife, especially amidst strains in their relationship. She does like her "personal input" to their marital issues.
Even though the insider said nothing about her being jealous, a new report is saying Lopez's gut feeling about Garner is not that off the mark.
According to an unnamed source cited by Globe Magazine (via Business Times Online), Affleck is seeking solace from Garner amid his troubles with Lopez, given that Garner hasn't fully committed to her current partner, John Miller, yet.
For the record, a source informed Us Weekly in January 2023 that Garner was deeply committed to Miller but was not yet prepared to take the step of marrying anyone.
While Affleck has been seen with Lopez in public, as reported by Us Weekly, insiders also claim this was only to present a united front. In reality, he has been frequenting his new residence alone, hinting at strains in his relationship with Lopez. The insider is now suggesting that Affleck's enduring love for Garner may have contributed to the downfall of his marriage with Lopez.
Case in point, after the alleged report of Lopez wanting Affleck to stay away from Garner, Garner and Affleck were seen together the very next day. If the report of Lopez not wanting Garner butting in on their issues is true, then Affleck's actions mean he does not care about her feelings.
Garner's unwavering support for Affleck, including assisting him during his struggles with alcoholism, underscores their intense connection, as per the informant.
Meanwhile, Affleck's irritation over Lopez's penchant for attention and his preference for privacy hints at tensions in their relationship. The two Jennifers have opposite effects on him.
Affleck's recent gestures of support for Garner, especially following the loss of her father, are seen as evidence of their enduring bond.
Insiders speculate that Affleck's renewed closeness with Garner has made him realize her virtues, leading him to reconsider their relationship. Affleck reportedly acknowledges the need to be a better partner to Garner and reunite their family, indicating a desire for reconciliation.
The situation remains fluid, with Affleck torn between his past and present relationships, leaving the outcome uncertain.
Still, this Globe report must be taken with a grain of salt. Garner has visited Affleck at his residence alone, despite knowing the speculations about Lopez and Affleck's impending divorce. But an insider said this was only for her to talk some sense to Affleck. The rest of their outings were in plain sight and all meant to carry out their co-parenting duties for their children.
Some reports even said that Lopez was grateful for Garner and find her quite helpful because they both want the best for Lopez and have similar experiences to share with each other, having married the same guy.
