Actress Jennifer Garner, notably recognized for her role in “Alias,” has allegedly chosen to minimize her support for her former husband, Ben Affleck, during his ongoing marital difficulties with Jennifer Lopez. Sources close to Garner indicate that the situation has escalated to an emotionally challenging level.
Garner, aged 52, and Affleck, aged 51, were married for over ten years and have three children together: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. Despite their divorce in 2015, Garner remained supportive of Affleck, particularly following his reunion with Lopez in 2021 and their subsequent marriage in 2022. Nevertheless, the continual conflicts between Affleck and Lopez have reportedly reached a stage where Garner feels unable to maintain her involvement.
A source mentioned to the press, “Jen eventually got to a place where she was like, ‘Sorry, figure this out yourself.’ It was beginning to become too painful for her because it was bringing back so many memories of their divorce.” Garner’s engagement in the situation was driven by her intent to uphold a positive environment for her children.
Garner’s decision coincides with rumors about Affleck and Lopez’s marital issues. The couple, who have been residing separately for a few months, put their $60 million Beverly Hills, California mansion on the market in June. Affleck’s missing wedding ring on multiple occasions has added to the speculation surrounding their relationship.
In May, Garner reportedly urged Affleck to focus on repairing his marriage with Lopez, reflecting her ongoing concern for his welfare. An informant told People, “She wants him happy and healthy so he can be the best dad possible.” Despite her attempts, it seems Garner has reached a breaking point, deciding to prioritize her emotional health and well-being.
Garner and Affleck’s post-divorce relationship has been notably positive, highlighting the significance of co-parenting their children. Affleck has previously expressed his appreciation for Garner, stating in a 2020 interview, “It’s important for my kids to know that I respect and care about Jen, and she treats me the same way. I have a lot of respect and gratitude toward her”.
As Affleck and Lopez grapple with their marital problems, Garner’s decision to step back marks a pivotal change. Garner, who has been in a relationship with businessman John Miller since 2018, seems to be focusing on her personal happiness and that of her family. Despite the intricacy of their relationships, all parties involved are reportedly committed to the well-being of their children and maintaining amicable relations.
The situation between Affleck and Lopez remains unclear, with no official announcements made regarding their marital status. However, both have been observed individually fulfilling their professional and personal obligations, suggesting a possible alteration in their relationship dynamics.
