Jennifer Garner Pulls Back From Affleck/J.Lo Drama

Actress Jennifer Garner, famed for her role in “Alias,” is reportedly distancing herself from her former husband, Ben Affleck, due to his ongoing marital difficulties with Jennifer Lopez. Those close to Garner have indicated that she finds the situation increasingly distressing.

Affleck, 51, and Garner, 52, were married for more than ten years and have three children together: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. Despite their 2015 divorce, Garner continued to emotionally support Affleck, particularly after his 2022 marriage to Lopez, whom he reunited with in 2021. Nevertheless, the escalating conflict between Affleck and Lopez has reached a point where Garner reportedly feels unable to remain involved.

As a media source stated, “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 involvement was largely driven by her wish to foster a positive environment for their children.

Garner’s decision is against the backdrop of ongoing speculation about the state of Affleck and Lopez’s marriage. The couple, who have lived apart for several months, put their Beverly Hills, California mansion, valued at $60 million, on the market in June. The intermittent absence of Affleck’s wedding ring has added fuel to the speculation about their marital status.

In May, Garner reportedly advised Affleck to work on his relationship with Lopez, underscoring her enduring concern for his welfare. As a source informed People, “She wants him happy and healthy so he can be the best dad possible.” However, it seems Garner has reached her threshold, opting to prioritize her own mental health and wellness.

Garner and Affleck’s post-divorce relationship has been marked by cooperative co-parenting of their children. Affleck has previously expressed his gratitude towards Garner, sharing 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.”

Garner’s choice to distance herself marks a significant development as Affleck and Lopez grapple with their marital issues. Garner, who has been in a relationship with businessman John Miller since 2018, seems to be focusing on her own happiness and that of her family. Despite the intricate nature of their relationships, all parties involved seem committed to the well-being of their children and maintaining cordial relations.

The status of Affleck and Lopez’s relationship remains unclear, with no official statements regarding their marriage forthcoming. However, their separate attendance at professional and personal events suggests a possible change in their relationship dynamics.
