The Rumored Tensions Between Jennifer Lopez & Jen Garner, Explained

In October 2023, an insider informed Life & Style magazine that a feud had been brewing between Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez for quite some time. They claimed, “The jealousy J.Lo feels over their deep connection is intense,” noting, “She believes Ben lied to her about his friendship with Jen — their bond is stronger today than when they were married — and she let Jen know she doesn’t appreciate how much of her husband’s time Jen has been taking up.” In fact, “They’re currently in a big fight over Ben.” 

The source added that it’s not uncommon for Lopez to get jealous, and the celebrity couple tends to get into nasty arguments over it because she isn’t afraid to make her feelings known. During one particularly explosive fight, Lopez screamed, “She’s your ex-wife for a reason!” and demanded that her husband spend less time focusing on his former marriage and devote his energy to the current one instead. The source reckons that Garner sensed the tension, too, so she canceled some family gatherings to ease it.

However, Affleck doesn’t want to let go of his friendship with Garner, as the source explained, “He often seeks out her advice. He even told J.Lo how he relies on Jen like never before and how much he respects her opinion on a myriad of topics.” Still, the rumored hostility been the two women has existed for a while, and Affleck has been trying his best to make peace.
