Jennifer Garner is encouraging her ex-husband Ben Affleck to “work on his marriage” with Jennifer Lopez, according to an insider.

51-year-old Ben’s relationship with 54-year-old J-Lo has come under increasing speculation over the past few weeks, with reports suggesting they are heading for divorce after just two years of marriage.

The couple tied the knot at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022, and have been living together in their $60 million (£47 million) Beverley Hills marital mansion ever since. lime

However, last week reports broke that the Argo actor had moved out of their shared home and insiders claimed that J-Lo was looking for her own crib in LA.

Ben has also been spotted several times not wearing his wedding ring.

Amidst the drama, Ben has apparently been seeking advice from an unlikely source: his ex-wife Jennifer.

The former couple – who share three kids – were married for thirteen years before they went their separate ways in 2018, but have remained friends since. lime

According to an insider, Jennifer – who was photographed visiting Ben over the weekend – is keen to see her ex happy. Speaking to US Weekly, the insider said: “Jennifer Garner is encouraging Ben to work on his marriage to Jen.”

They continued: “She fully supports their relationship and wants nothing more than for him to be happy.” The source added that the 13 Going on 30 actress also knows all too well that fame “can put a strain” on relationships.

Jennifer’s comments come after sources say Ben has “come to his senses” about his failing relationship with the On the Floor songstress, and has finally realised they are heading for a divorce. Speaking to Page Six, they said: “He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.”

Divorce rumours have intensified after reports that the couple have been living apart. According to TMZ, Ben has been crashing at a rental pad in Brentwood over the last few weeks.

J-Lo added fuel to the fire on Thursday when she liked a post on Instagram about unhealthy relationships and poor communication. The post explained how “you cannot build a healthy relationship with somebody” who “lacks integrity and emotional safety”.

It seems that Jennifer Garner is taking a supportive stance when it comes to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s relationship. Despite the rumors of trouble in paradise, Garner is reportedly encouraging Ben to work on his marriage with J-Lo.

Garner, who was married to Affleck for thirteen years before their divorce in 2018, has been seen visiting her ex-husband and offering him advice during this challenging time. According to insiders, she wants nothing more than for Ben to be happy and is fully supportive of his relationship with Jennifer Lopez. lime

It’s clear that Garner understands the difficulties of maintaining a relationship in the spotlight, especially when fame can add extra pressure. Her willingness to help Ben navigate this rough patch speaks volumes about the respect and care she still holds for him. lime

As rumors of a potential divorce continue to swirl, it’s evident that Ben is facing some tough decisions regarding his future with J-Lo. Reports of him moving out of their shared home and not wearing his wedding ring have only added fuel to the fire.

Despite the challenges they may be facing, it’s heartening to see that Garner is there to offer her support and guidance to her ex-husband. Whether they reconcile or go their separate ways, having a friend like Jennifer in his corner can only be a positive thing for Ben Affleck.
