Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s marriage troubles have been the talk of the town, but they are choosing to ignore the noise. However, there is one person who might have Affleck’s ear – his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Garner has been a constant source of support for Affleck throughout his sobriety journey and beyond. Despite their own struggles when they were married, Garner is now encouraging Affleck to work on his marriage with Lopez. She fully supports their relationship and just wants him to be happy. It’s not an easy position for Garner to be in, as it can strain their own relationship.
Garner’s support for Affleck shouldn’t come as a surprise. When he decided to rekindle his romance with Lopez, she was cheering them on. This relationship has been a stabilizing force for Affleck, and it has relieved Garner of the worry she used to have for him. She is grateful that he has chosen a partner who is a positive influence with strong family values.
In fact, Garner has embraced the blended family created by Lopez and Affleck. She has formed a bond with Lopez because their kids get along so well. It’s not uncommon to see Garner taking Lopez’s 16-year-old daughter Emme to Disneyland with her own 15-year-old son, Fin. They have a mutual respect for each other as parents and want to nurture those relationships and show their support.
Perhaps Garner will serve as a reminder of the unique family Affleck and Lopez have created after being apart for almost two decades. With all the media frenzy surrounding their reported separation, they could definitely use all the support they can get.
