IIn 2024, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are making headlines again, but this time it's not because of their whirlwind romance. Despite their long and legendary love story, rumors of an impending divorce are circulating around the couple. It seems that marital difficulties have caught up with them, and multiple sources say they just can't seem to get along.
Before marrying Lopez, Affleck Jennifer GarnerGarner, who has three children with Affleck, has always been private about her personal life and has previously expressed dislike of seeing herself or Affleck in the press.
She told Stellar Magazine, “I really try to keep either of us out of the press. Even if something good comes out about one of us, it doesn't make me feel better. I just try to forget I'm out there. Same goes for my loved ones. I don't need to see any of my family turned into a meme.”
Affleck and LopezThe pair had a rollercoaster relationship, with a whirlwind romance in the early 2000s that eventually led to an engagement in 2002 before calling it off in 2004. Shortly thereafter, Affleck fell in love with Garner, and the pair married in 2005. However, despite ending their 13-year marriage in 2018, the pair remain on good terms.
Garner is close with Affleck
According to reports, Affleck no longer lives with Lopez in a mansion, instead residing in a $100,000-per-month rental near Garner. Due to shared parental responsibilities, Affleck meets with Garner frequently, who is reportedly helping him resolve his marital problems.
Meanwhile, Lopez is said to “hate” Affleck confiding in Garner, and it's clear the dynamics between the three are complicated, especially given their tangled pasts and shared family ties.
This situation is undoubtedly difficult for all involved, and it's clear that Garner's number one priority is protecting her loved ones from media scrutiny, while for Affleck and Lopez, navigating a relationship in the public eye is a challenge in itself. Only time will tell how things will play out for this high-profile trio.
