Jennifer Lopez Seeks Jennifer Garner's Help to Save Marriage with Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez is seeking assistance from Jennifer Garner to navigate a turbulent period in her marriage with Ben Affleck. The 54-year-old singer and actress believes that Garner understands her situation better than anyone else.
Lopez's Concerns Over Affleck's Well-Being
Lopez is particularly worried that Affleck might relapse into his old drinking habits. Garner, who was married to Affleck for over a decade and shares three children with him, is aware of the potential dangers. According to sources, Lopez and Garner have been in open communication about the challenges they are facing.
"J.Lo feels that Jen is one of the few people in the world who truly understands what she's going through, " an insider revealed. "She went through similar issues with the same man."
Garner's Role in Supporting Affleck
Garner, currently in a relationship with businessman John Miller, is actively trying to help save Lopez and Affleck's marriage. She appreciates the stabilizing influence Lopez brings to Affleck's life and is committed to supporting them.
"Jen doesn't want Ben to end this marriage because she genuinely cares about J.Lo. She has visited Ben to talk things through and try to keep them together, " the source added.
Affleck's Familiar Response to Stress
Affleck's current behavior mirrors his past reactions to stress. He has moved out of the family home and rented a $100, 000-a-month estate in Brentwood. Garner has visited him there to offer support.
"Ben is upset because he can't escape his problems, so he runs away. The biggest fear now is that he might start drinking again, " a close friend of the couple noted.
Historical Context of Affleck's Struggles
Affleck has previously admitted to feeling "shame" and "regret" over his drinking habits, which escalated during the breakdown of his marriage to Garner in 2018. He underwent rehabilitation with Garner's encouragement. Affleck has acknowledged that his drinking created more problems in their marriage.
"I drank relatively normally for a long time. But when my marriage started falling apart, I drank more and more, " he confessed in 2020. "I felt trapped, and I drank a bottle of whiskey and fell asleep on the couch."
Looking Forward
Lopez and Affleck are currently working on resolving their issues, hoping that Garner's unique perspective and support will help them succeed.
