Jennifer Garner Stands Strong Amid Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Divorce Drama
As Jennifer Lopez files for divorce from Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, the “13 Going on 30” actress, finds herself once again in the spotlight. The divorce, which Lopez filed on the symbolic date of August 20, marking the second anniversary of her marriage to Affleck, has captured media attention and brought Garner’s name back into the headlines due to her past with the actor.
Garner, 52, was seen with her ex-husband Ben Affleck just hours before Lopez’s divorce filing. The former couple, who share three children—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—were returning to Los Angeles after dropping Violet off at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. The reunion between Garner and Affleck seemed warm, with Affleck reportedly in good spirits despite the looming divorce news.
Sources close to Garner reveal that she has been supportive of Affleck, prioritizing the well-being of their children amidst the media frenzy. However, friends of the actress have voiced concerns that she was placed in a difficult position, being inadvertently drawn into the marriage issues between Affleck and Lopez. According to insiders, Garner felt like a “pawn” as she was used as a mediator in a situation that reignited painful memories of her own divorce from Affleck in 2018.
Despite the ongoing drama, Garner has maintained a positive outlook and remains focused on her relationship with her current partner, businessman John Miller. The couple, who have been dating since 2018, have kept their relationship low-key, preferring to avoid the public eye. Sources confirm that Garner is “happy” with Miller and that their relationship remains strong amid the chaos surrounding Affleck’s personal life.
Jennifer Garner’s graceful handling of the situation has won her admiration from fans and those close to her. Even as the media speculates about her potential role in the Affleck-Lopez divorce, Garner continues to prioritize her family, co-parenting with Affleck and maintaining her privacy.
