It seems that Jennifer Lopez, 54, has found comfort in an unexpected friendship with Jennifer Garner, 52, amid ongoing marital challenges with Ben Affleck, 51, according to an exclusive report 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 presence during Lopez’s current struggles.
Speculation around Lopez and Affleck’s relationship intensified in May when fans noticed their absence together, sparking rumors of trouble. An insider revealed to Us Weekly that Affleck had moved out of their Los Angeles home weeks earlier, fueling further speculation about their future.
The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2022 after an early 2000s relationship, is said to be at odds over their next steps, with discussions of divorce reportedly looming, another source told Us Weekly.
In addition to their personal challenges, Lopez and Affleck are reportedly selling their $86.7 million Los Angeles mansion, acquired in March 2022, which has added strain to their situation. Despite Lopez’s preference for a discreet sale, Affleck appears unaffected by public scrutiny.
On the professional front, Lopez has been reconsidering her career path, recently canceling her tour to focus on personal matters. Despite their marital issues, the couple has united for family milestones, including attending their children’s graduations.
Following a heartfelt Father’s Day tribute from Lopez, Affleck opened up on Kevin Hart’s show about the complexities of their high-profile relationship. Despite their ups and downs, Lopez has been spotted wearing her engagement ring and wedding band during a solo outing in the Hamptons, suggesting a commitment to weathering the challenges together.
