Expressing their sympathy for Lopez, one person wrote, “Garner is a dangerous, obsessed woman, using kids to control a weak man, one with addiction and depression issues.”

Another added they were happy because Affleck and Garner split because him being unhappy with her was the reason for his alcohol addiction.

 

Of course, there were also those who believed the exes made a great couple back in the day. “Ben and Garner are the real ‘Bennifer.’ They belong together with their kids but Ben is a fool.”

The truth is that Affleck and Garner remained friends who co-parent nicely. Before, they were spotted hugging one another. The two were dressed in casual outfits. Affleck wore blue jeans, a gray long-sleeved top, and white Air-Jordan Nikes, while Garner had gray slacks, a long-sleeved black top, and sunglasses.

 

In fact, Garner and Lopez seem to be getting along as well, with a person close to them describing their relationship as “very cordial and very healthy and functioning.”

 

Garner, who is in a new relationship following her divorce from Affleck, is happy with her new family dynamics, a person close to her said. “A great space and feels good about where things currently stand with her new family dynamics.” The source added: “[Affleck and Garner] have open communication and both are working to make this transition the best it could possibly be.”

While many believe that Affleck’s personal life is falling apart, he’s doing great in terms of work. In August, the film he co-produces and stars in, The Instigators, will be released.
