Garner has limited his contact with JLo
according to mirrorGarner felt used as a “pawn during the breakdown of Lopez’s marriage to Ben Affleck” and now only wants to communicate when it concerns their children.
This comes after JLo filed for divorce from Ben, during which Garner reportedly played the role of ‘marriage counselor’ trying to reconcile the Hollywood couple.
According to the Mirror, in a report by DailyMail, sources shared that Garner played a key role in trying to get them together, which had a huge impact on the star.
“Jen no longer wants to communicate with JLo unless it has to do with the kids. Her friends believe she should not have allowed herself to get so involved in helping JLo set up her wedding to Ben,” a source said.
Things turned serious when JLo’s sister Linda visited Garner’s daughter Violet at her university.
“Jen felt awkward about JLo getting close to Violet and then Linda went to meet Violet at her school. Jen’s loyalty is to the father of her children – Ben – and their children because they love JLo. But Jen never Won’t say or talk bad about him.” Everyone knows that if JLo wants to spend time with her kids away from Violet, she has to go through Jen,” the source said.
Jennifer Garner’s bond with Ben Affleck
Jennifer Garner was married to the accountant star for almost a decade, and they have three children together: Violet, 18, Finn, 15, and Samuel, 12. Despite their tumultuous split, which Ben attributed to his struggle with addiction, the former couple have maintained an amicable relationship while co-parenting their children.
In fact, when Lopez and Ben began living apart, Garner was reportedly working to broker a truce between the two, in hopes of getting them back together.
Splitsville for Bennifer
After months of speculation, things are becoming clear that all is not well between Lopez and Ben. At the beginning of the year, Ben moved out of his marital home and rented a place in Brentwood near his ex-wife and kids while JLo was on world tour. They missed celebrating their second anniversary, and Ben didn’t even come to his wife’s birthday. This came as they talked about their “greatest love story”, rekindling after a decade of separation.
After rekindling their love, they got married in 2022. Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, ending the couple’s two-year marriage. He gave April 26 as the date of their separation.
JLo opened up about this tumultuous chapter to Interview magazine, saying, “I thought I had it learned, but I didn’t. And then, this summer, I had to be like, ‘I have to move out. And need to be on my own. I want to prove to myself that I can do that.” However, recent reports suggest that she is moving on, and falling in love with her bodyguard.
