Inside Jennifer Garner's Role in Healing Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck's 'Broken Relationship'

Jennifer Garner remains a loyal source of support for her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, during this challenging time, amid swirling rumors of a possible divorce between him and Jennifer Lopez.

Reports indicate that the 13 Going on 30 actress has been meeting with Affleck regularly, offering her presence and support during this difficult time.

According to a source who spoke to Life & Style, via OK magazine, "The last thing in the world Garner wants to do is pick up the pieces of Affleck and Lopez's broken relationship, but she has no choice."

"That's why she's spending so much time with Affleck ... he's close to his breaking point."

The source went on to say, "People close to Affleck have been concerned about him for some time. He's in a bad place and has been isolating. Garner's opening up to friends like never before about it, explaining why she's been so involved lately and is often seen visiting Affleck. She wants to finally share her side of the story."

Another source chimed in, mentioning that Garner had hesitations about the longevity of Affleck and Lopez's rekindled romance.

The source added, "She says her biggest concern is Affleck spiraling worse than before. She won't let that happen. Lopez's moved on from Ben as a husband, but because of the children they share, she'll always feel responsible for him."

Despite ongoing rumors surrounding Lopez and Affleck's marriage, Garner's inner circle believes that she should focus on setting healthier boundaries. As reported by Nerd Stash, despite the six years since Garner and Affleck ended their relationship, the Alias actress continues to maintain a strong connection with her former spouse.

A source told revealed to the outlet, "Some friends feel there should be more boundaries, especially with Affleck so vulnerable."

"They don't want her ensnared in his problems again."

Their concern is heightened due to Garner's relationship with John Miller, as they fear Garner's focus on Affleck may cause disruptions.

"She has a good life and a great boyfriend. Some friends believe Jen should step back from Affleck a bit because it might cause tension in her relationship with Miller if she doesn't."

As reported by Star Magazine, via OK magazine, another insider disclosed, "This is one of the reasons she's monitoring him closely. She's making an effort to spend quality time with him, offering a listening ear. Nobody wishes to witness Affleck fall back into his previous self-destructive patterns."
