Jennifer Lopez finds unlikely ally in Jennifer Garner amid Ben Affleck marriage struggles

Garner was previously married to Lopez’s current husband, Ben Affleck.

Jennifer Lopez, 54, has found solace in the unexpected friendship of Jennifer Garner, 52, amidst ongoing marital difficulties with Ben Affleck, 51, according to an exclusive source from Us Weekly. 

Garner, who was previously married to Affleck from 2005 to 2018 and shares three children with him, has reportedly been a supportive figure during Lopez's current challenges.

Sources reveal that Lopez and Affleck's relationship came under scrutiny in May when fans noticed their absence together, prompting rumors of trouble. An insider disclosed to Us Weekly that Affleck had moved out of their Los Angeles home weeks earlier, exacerbating the speculation about their future.

The couple, who reunited romantically in 2022 after an early 2000s relationship, has allegedly been at odds over their next steps, with divorce discussions reportedly on the table, according to another exclusive source from Us Weekly.

In addition to their personal turmoil, Lopez and Affleck are reportedly selling their $86.7 million Los Angeles mansion, acquired in March 2022, which has added further strain. Despite Lopez's desire for a discreet sale, Affleck remains seemingly unaffected by the public scrutiny.

Professionally, Lopez has been contemplating her next career moves, having recently canceled her tour to focus on personal matters. Amidst their marital difficulties, the couple has come together on several occasions to support their blended family, including attending their children's graduations.

After a heartfelt Father's Day tribute from Lopez, Affleck appeared on Kevin Hart's show, discussing the challenges of being in a high-profile relationship with her. Despite their ups and downs, Lopez was seen wearing her engagement ring and wedding band during a solo outing in the Hamptons, indicating a possible resolve to weather the storm.
