Jennifer Garner still loves Ben Affleck and suffers when the press turns him into a meme for this reason

In 2024, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are making headlines again, but this time it’s not for their whirlwind romance. Rumors of an impending divorce have been swirling around the couple, despite their long and storied love story. It seems that the challenges of marriage have caught up with them, as several sources claim that they just can’t seem to make it work.

Before tying the knot with Lopez, Affleck was previously married to Jennifer Garner, with whom he shares three children. Garner, who has always been private about her personal life, once expressed her aversion to seeing herself or Affleck in the press.

She told Stellar Magazine: “I really work hard not to see either of us in the press. It doesn’t make me feel good, even if it’s something nice about one of us. I just try to forget that I’m out there in any way, and the same with anyone I love. I don’t need to see anyone in my family made into a meme.”

Affleck and Lopez‘s relationship has been a rollercoaster, with a whirlwind romance in the early 2000s that ultimately led to an engagement in 2002, only to be called off in 2004. Shortly after, Affleck found love with Garner, and the two tied the knot in 2005. However, their marriage came to an end after 13 years in 2018, though they remain on good terms.

Garner stays close to Affleck

Reports suggest that Affleck is no longer living with Lopez in their mansion, opting instead for a $100,000 monthly rental unit near Garner. It’s said that he frequently sees Garner due to their shared parental responsibilities and that she helps him navigate his marital issues with Lopez.

Lopez, on the other hand, allegedly “hates” that Affleck confides in Garner. It’s clear that the dynamics between the three of them are complex, especially given their intertwined pasts and shared family connections.

The situation is undoubtedly challenging for all involved, and it’s evident that Garner’s priority is protecting her loved ones from the scrutiny of the press. As for Affleck and Lopez, navigating their relationship in the public eye comes with its own set of difficulties. Only time will tell how things unfold for this high-profile trio.
