Jennifer Lopez has allegedly warned Jennifer Garner to stay away from Ben Affleck in the midst of ongoing rumors of marriage troubles and divorce.
According to RadarOnline, J.Lo doesn’t like that her husband Ben meets up frequently with ex-wife Jen. An insider said to Life & Style said, “Everyone knows that Ben and Jen remained very close after their divorce. He confides in Jen about everything, even his issues with J Lo.” The insider reportedly claimed that J.Lo hates that Ben goes to Jen for “advice and and emotional support. She doesn’t want Jen’s input.”
On May 19, after their son, Samuel’s basketball game in Santa Monica, the 13 Going on 30 star was spotted visiting Ben’s $100,000 Brentwood mansion rental where the actor-director has been reportedly staying amid the divorce rumours. Ben and Jen share three kids together: Violet, Fin, and Samuel. They finalised their divorce in October 2018 and Jen is currently in a relationship with business entrepreneur John Miller.

The source continued to claim that J.Lo didn’t tell Jen outright since apparently they’ve “been down this road before and know their boundaries” but she told Ben that Jen “needs to stay away from him and butt out of their personal drama.” Ben reportedly communicated the message to Jen.
However, sources close to J.Lo have refuted these claims.
Recently all three were photographed (not all together) attending another one of Samuel’s basketball on Sunday, June 2. The Get Right singer and Ben were spotted stepping out with his mom, Christopher Anne “Chris” Boldt. The pair also shared an kiss on the cheek and a hug. The recent outing comes in the aftermath of J.Lo canceling her This Is Me… Live tour. Her reps explained that J.Lo is “taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.”
As J.Lo takes to time to be with children, family and close friends, sources according to DailyMail said that Jen and J.Lo have been in regular contact.
The insider shared to the outlet last month that J.Lo “has been confiding in Jen because she knows that she is one of the only people in the world who would understand what she is going through.” They also said that Jen “really does cares about” J.Lo and wants to try and assist in salvaging their relationship on behalf of Affleck and the extended family.

“Jen does not want Ben to pull the plug on this marriage,” the source disclosed. “She did go to his house to talk to him about this and to try and keep the two of them together.”
The sourced added that J.Lo “was told several times by Jen how valued she is in all their lives,” and that “she is one of the only women who can get through to Ben and keep him from jumping off the deep end with his addiction.”
In an November 2022 interview with Vogue, J.Lo had wonderful things to say about Jen as a mother: “[She’s] an amazing coparent, and they work really well together.”
