Jennifer Garner has decided to step away from the drama surrounding Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s rumored divorce, marking a clear shift from her previous involvement in their relationship issues. According to insider reports shared with the Daily Mail, Garner, aged 52, had been offering advice and support to Affleck regarding his marriage to Lopez. However, she has now chosen to distance herself, stating, “Sorry, figure this out yourself.”
The situation has reportedly stirred personal memories for Garner, particularly regarding her own divorce from Affleck, with whom she shares three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. Sources indicated that Garner had at times felt overshadowed during their marriage, despite having had no direct communication with Affleck for several years.
The unfolding divorce saga involving Affleck and Lopez has thrust them and everyone associated into the spotlight, a development that reportedly took Garner by surprise. Known for valuing privacy, Affleck’s increased public presence has been noted as unusual by those close to Garner.
Despite her concerns for the well-being of her children and the couple involved, Garner wishes to avoid being further entangled in the unfolding scandal. Her marriage to Affleck began in 2005, following his previous engagement to Lopez, which had been called off in 2003. They eventually divorced in 2018.
Recent photos of Affleck visiting Garner’s home have sparked further media interest, especially as he is reportedly residing nearby to be close to his children. The couple’s shared history and ongoing co-parenting responsibilities continue to draw public attention amidst the backdrop of Lopez’s solo European vacation and the sale of her and Affleck’s former $60 million home.
Affleck and Lopez’s relationship, which began in 2001 and rekindled in 2022, culminated in a marriage after a year, but recent reports suggest they may be facing challenges. They also share responsibility for Lopez’s children from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony, including twins Max and Emme.
Garner’s decision to step back reflects her desire to maintain personal boundaries amidst the media scrutiny surrounding her ex-husband’s romantic entanglements.
