Jennifer Garner “thrilled” Affleck is Lopez’s responsibility

Jennifer Garner was nothing but overly supportive of her ex-husband, Ben Affleck.

The all-American Hollywood girl has been by Affleck’s side for years, despite their 2017 split after 12 years of marriage.

She staged an intervention and made him go to rehab in August 2018 because of his alcohol addiction, and even drove him to a clinic.

Garner was nowhere to be found when Affleck, 50, walked down the aisle to his lavish wedding ceremony with 53-year-old Jennifer Lopez last Saturday – but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t happy about it.

“I’m sure she’s thrilled to get rid of her fourth child,” said a source who knows both Affleck and Garner, referring to everything the actress has done for her ex.

Former couple’s children – Violet, 16; Seraphina, 13 years old; and Samuel, 10, were all present to witness their dad say yes after his and Lopez’s last month at the Vegas chapel ceremony.

Insiders told Page Six that it was unclear whether Garner had been invited at all.

The 50-year-old actress was smiling as she was photographed at Sam’s Club in South Charleston, Virginia, on Saturday hours before J. Lo and Affleck were married a second time.

Her father, William, appeared to join her along with her boyfriend businessman John Miller, and she was spotted posing for a photo with a fan.

Another Hollywood scholar this week told Page Six that although Affleck is now out of Garner’s reach, they were always going to be intertwined.

“Jen always approached everything the same, no matter who Ben was with,” said one informant. “They have kids together – so if she has another stretch or falls off the car, it will be her problem.”

But a source who knows both Garner and Affleck repeated: “Jen is a wonderful mother, she really raised these kids – and it’s great that she doesn’t need a fourth child anymore.

The star of “13 Going on 30” grew up in Charleston and married Affleck in 2005, a year after divorcing actor Scott Foley.

As a source who knows Garner and Affleck noted: “Jen grew up with her parents happily married and her sisters are married, so I know she wanted this to work out. But she left.

Page six revealed how Garner’s friends were furious when Affleck told Howard Stern in December that he would likely still be drinking if he had remained married to her. At the time, a friend said, “Anyone who knows addictive behavior knows how false these comments can be for any addict, especially Ben. This is one of A.A.’s first principles that cannot be blamed for your illness. “

“I know Jen will always care for Ben. All she ever did was be there for Ben. They have three children together and she loved him with all her heart, ”said a source who knows the former couple. “I’m sure she wants him to be happy, but he has a life of his own and his own boyfriend.”

Garner has just finished filming her new Apple + series “Last Time I Saw It” in Austin, Texas. It is based on the hit novel by Laura Dave and produced by Reese Witherspoon.

She is also the co-founder and director of Once Upon a Farm, a leader in fresh snacks for children. In March, Forbes announced that it was the first brand to be certified with a 1000-day promise from the Clean Label project for its new advanced nutritional formulas.

A Hollywood connoisseur said, “Jen works, she’s happy, she’s still with John, and she’s doing great. Honestly, Jen is just as advertised.

She also seems to be fine with her ex’s renewed romance with Lopez, 20 years after the two were due to get married for the first time – but she canceled it, allegedly due to the pressure of being in the public eye.

Garner was in Lake Tahoe when Affleck and Lopez were married in Vegas last month. [the day before] at the earliest. It was very, very minimally pre-planned and was largely spontaneous. [Affleck and Garner’s oldest daughter] Violet stayed at home because she is extremely loyal to her mother.

Lopez’s friends – who was often seen dating Alex Rodriguez – had told Page Six earlier that she was good for Affleck.

The newest documentary of the singer from Netflix, “Half the Time” has given a fascinating insight into her world, including her daily training sessions.

This week, it was also announced that Lopez will be teaming up with “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” star Simu Liu in the sci-fi thriller “Atlas”.

Meanwhile, Affleck is directing his new Nike film alongside his longtime buddy Matt Damon.

In July, Jason Momoa also revealed that Affleck is ready to put on the Batman costume again for the Warner Bros / DC sequel “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom”.

For now, the newlyweds Affleck and Lopez have been spotted kissing in Italy during their honeymoon.

As a source known to both Affleck and Garner said: “[Lopez] would be good for Ben, she was always obsessed with him. And I can tell you, she will do everything in her power to keep him sober and healthy. Both Jen and Jennifer are very strong girls.
