Jennifer Garner is reportedly supporting her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez earlier this year. Garner, who was married to Affleck from 2005 to 2018, appears to be taking Affleck’s side after his second split from Lopez, despite their short-lived reunion. Rumors suggest Garner never fully trusted the renewed relationship between Affleck and Lopez, leading to strained dynamics behind the scenes.
The Strained Relationship Between the Two Jennifers
Though publicly supportive of Affleck’s decisions, Jennifer Garner reportedly experienced tension away from the spotlight. Sharing three children—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—with Affleck, she maintained a composed front for their sake. However, sources reveal that behind closed doors, there was conflict and discomfort regarding the rekindled relationship with Lopez. According to insiders, Garner saw Lopez’s involvement as a source of “chaos,” while feeling that Affleck did not need such disruption in his life.
Garner’s Continued Support and Lopez’s Focus on Career
While Garner is not seeking reconciliation with Affleck, she is said to remain firmly on his side. A close confidant explained,
“She was there before, during, and after Bennifer,”
highlighting Garner’s enduring loyalty. The same source added,
“Now she’s back in his corner in a big way.”
This allegiance reportedly influenced Lopez’s decision to end the marriage again, sensing a shift in Affleck’s support system. Since the split, Lopez has turned her attention to her career, including preparing for her

Proximity and Personal Lives After the Breakup
Reports indicate that Affleck is searching for a bachelor pad near Brentwood, close to Garner’s residence, suggesting he remains connected to their shared family environment. Meanwhile, Garner has been navigating a long-term, intermittent relationship with her boyfriend, John Miller, since 2018. The ongoing personal developments reflect the complex, uneasy situation resulting from the high-profile splits, impacting both Garner and Affleck as they manage their public and private lives.
