Jennifer Lopez troubled as Ben Affleck spends time with ex
Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck after two years of marriage. It is Ben’s second divorce, his first one was from actor Jennifer Garner. Ben and Garner got married in 2005 and divorced in 2018. They share three children – Violet, 19, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12. Recently, Ben was spotted celebrating Thanksgiving with Garner, troubling Lopez, as reported by Mirror.
A source shared with Heat World magazine that “Jen [Lopez] felt threatened by Jennifer [Garner] throughout her marriage. The fact that Ben would frequently seek advice from Jennifer during their conflicts drove her up the wall.” The insider continued, “Jen believed she and Ben would be spending substantial time together over the holidays, as he had promised to split his time equally between her and Garner. So when he cancelled their plans and instead had dinner with Jennifer, it was humiliating for Jen, especially since she had told everyone that Ben would be at her dinner.”
Meanwhile, Garner has been in a relationship with businessman John Miller since 2018, while Lopez has twin children from her previous marriage to Latin singer Marc Anthony.
