Jennifer Lopez in Constant Contact With Jennifer Garner About Ben Affleck: Source

According to insiders, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are on the brink of divorce. The couple has a romantic backstory, having fallen in love nearly two decades before finally marrying in 2022. Sadly, marital issues have surfaced in 2024 that appear unresolvable. Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, is reportedly assisting them through these problems. A source mentioned Lopez is in “constant communication” with Garner.

Ben Affleck fell in love with Jennifer Lopez before his relationship with Jennifer Garner. Affleck and Lopez got engaged in 2002 but ended the engagement in 2004. Affleck then married Garner in 2005, and they remained married for over a decade. Today, they co-parent their three kids and maintain a friendly relationship.

Affleck and Lopez rekindled their relationship in 2021 and married in 2022. With their current marital issues, several sources claim Affleck seeks help and reassurance from Garner. The two have been seen together, with Affleck visiting Garner’s home multiple times in 2024.

Lopez and Garner reportedly also share a good relationship. A source told DailyMail.com that Garner has “helped things tremendously” for both Lopez and Affleck. Lopez remains in “constant communication” with Garner.

“Jennifer is eternally grateful for her help even though she has now taken a step back,” the insider said. “But Jen was able to get through to her ex-husband like no one else could — even J.Lo.”

Another source told Us Weekly in July 2024 that Garner has become an “unexpected ally” for Lopez amid the issues with Affleck. “She’s been helpful to J.Lo, and they’ve been relating to each other,” the source shared. “Jennifer has been a surprising person for J.Lo to talk to.”

Ben Affleck has reportedly confided in Jennifer Garner during his marital troubles with Jennifer Lopez. Living nearby, Affleck now resides in a $100,000 monthly rental in Brentwood and frequently visits Garner’s home to spend time with her and their three children, also seeking her advice.

A source told DailyMail.com that Garner eventually had to set boundaries.

“Jen eventually got to a place where she was like, ‘Sorry, figure this out yourself,’” the source explained. “It was becoming too painful for her because it was bringing back too many memories of their divorce.”

The insider noted that Garner had “opened up her home and her life” to Lopez “because she had moved on from the past.” She cares for J.Lo and for their kids, understanding the impact all this would have on them. However, “in the end, it is not Jen’s circus, not Jen’s monkeys, and she is done playing marriage counselor to her ex-husband and his wife.”

In June 2024, another source told Life & Style that Jennifer Garner considered allowing Ben Affleck to move back into her home, given the situation with Jennifer Lopez.

“He’s got a key to come and go as he pleases, and he’s been spending a lot of time at her place, coming over for dinners and hanging with the kids,” the insider revealed. “It’s good for his state of mind, and the kids love having him around.”

The source also mentioned that Garner has “a lot of space” in her home, so Affleck “wouldn’t be in her way” if he moved in. She understands it would bring a lot of comfort to their children.

So far, no evidence suggests Affleck will move back in with his ex-wife.
