Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez friendSomething even stranger has happened.
Like a man who marries two women in a row with the same name
In August, Jennifer Lopez finally filed for divorce from Ben Affleck, following months of hints, speculation, and (possibly) rumors. The hype.
Jennifer Garner is also part of this story. Not in a dirty way — she’s not the “mistress” — but she did seem to provide emotional support to Jennifer Lopez’s now-ex-boyfriend.
of Jennifer’s Garner and Lopez have enough in common to be friends, but what do they really think about each other?
What did Jennifer Lopez have to say about Jennifer Garner?
in 2022 Popular InterviewJennifer Lopez, who was newlywed at the time, said of Jennifer Garner:
“[She’s] “It’s a great co-parenting relationship and they work really well together,” she praised. No stranger to a blended family, Lopez found that things went so much smoother when she was married to Ben Affleck.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have three children together: Violet, Finn and Samuel, while Jennifer Lopez has twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Lopez and Garner participated in blended family activities together. For example, Marie Claire Reports While everyone was celebrating Violet’s graduation, Lopez showed up at the Garner home.
It’s worth noting that this was after rumors of a Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez divorce were already circulating — in fact, it came just weeks after Lopez’s reported separation.
Clearly, all involved are here because they care about Violet. This is about her, not Jennifer or Ben Affleck.
Lopez and Garner may have bonded as co-parents.
Co-parenting is different than always being together, but sometimes dating or marrying the same person can bring you closer together, and sometimes, of course, raising and loving the same children can bring you closer together.
According to Us WeeklyBut it went further than that: One report said Jennifer Lopez found an “unexpected ally” and friend in Garner as the divorce progressed.
“She’s very supportive of Jennifer Lopez and the two are close,” the insider claimed. “Jennifer has been an unexpected conversation partner for Jennifer Lopez.”
meanwhile, Daily Mail Claims Jennifer Garner reportedly acted as a mediator rather than just providing emotional support as the couple’s problems worsened.
“Jennifer is forever grateful for her help, even though she’s taken a step back now,” the source claims, “but Jen was able to connect with her ex-husband in a way that no one else could, even herself.”
Meanwhile, Jennifer Garner has provided friendship and comfort to not only Ben but the rest of his family, even spending time with his mother.
What is their relationship like now?
Complicated relationships like this one have always existed between friends, partners, and exes, and most of them aren’t even in the spotlight among celebrities.
With that in mind, we can assume that even if Lopez and Garner become true friends, they may not see each other as often as they should. Mutual exes can sometimes bring people together, but they can also tear them apart.
Either way, it’s possible that the couple will meet in the future — not just because they’re both mega-famous, but because they care about the same kids. Of course, there’s no telling if Lopez will still attend Affleck’s graduations, but if she does, it’s good that she and Garner have such a close bond.
