Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, who maintain a cordial relationship for the sake of their three children, are once again making headlines—this time for reportedly involving Garner in Affleck’s search for a new partner. According to a recent source, Garner has been taking an active role in helping Ben Affleck find a new girlfriend after his divorce from Jennifer Lopez was finalized in January of last year, bringing renewed speculation about Affleck’s personal life and the dynamics with his ex-wife.
Garner Sees Signs of Loneliness in Affleck, Source Claims
Sources revealed that Garner believes her ex-husband has been feeling isolated since his split from Lopez. The mother of three is reportedly eager for Affleck to move on and find companionship through someone new.
“She can tell he’s lonely. And she’s tired of hearing his whining about J.Lo,”
a source told RadarOnline.
Garner’s motivation appears rooted in wanting stability for Affleck, both as a co-parent and a member of the extended family. The former couple celebrated Thanksgiving 2025 together with their children—Violet, Fin, and Samuel—demonstrating their ongoing commitment to family traditions even after their separation.
Intentions Behind Garner’s Matchmaking Efforts
The insider suggested that Jennifer Garner’s efforts are not only about supporting Affleck, but also about enabling her own romantic life to move forward.
“She wants to see him in a stable relationship so she can focus on her life with John,”
the source explained, referencing her relationship with John Miller. Garner’s wish is to see Affleck settled with someone she approves of, making her role as a matchmaker both personal and practical.
Evolving Relationships After High-Profile Divorces
Relationships between the former couples and their respective families have evolved, especially since Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s divorce. Reportedly, Garner and Lopez used to share a notably friendly bond, but their dynamic has grown more formal in recent times, remaining largely cordial out of respect for their children. Affleck and Garner’s child Fin and Lopez’s daughter Emme are said to have maintained their own friendship through these changes. Both Garner and Lopez reportedly accept where things stand between them, as reflected in the quote,
“okay with how their relationship stands.”
The current situation highlights the ongoing complexities in the intertwined personal lives of Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck, and Jennifer Lopez, as well as their dedication to creating a stable environment for their children. As the search for Ben Affleck’s new girlfriend continues, the impact of these evolving relationships remains to be seen.
