Jennifer Lopez is reportedly harboring some ill-will to Ben Affleck’s other ex-wife named Jennifer, Jennier Garner. Lopez reportedly “blames” Garner for the “drama” surrounding their family’s holiday schedule.
Recent reports have indicated that Ben Affleck is “closer than ever” with his ex-wife Garner fueling speculation from their friends that they could reunite.
An alleged inside source has told InTouch Weekly that Affleck is far more comfortable around Garner than he is Lopez, leading to him spending more time with her around the holidays.
Affleck and Garner were married from 2005 to 2018 and share three children together, while Affleck and Lopez were married from 2022 to 2024.
“Let’s face it, spending time with Jen and their kids is just much more comfortable than trying to do the blended family thing. He’s so at ease with her, there’s no tension, no pressure, he can totally be himself,” the source said.
“When push comes to shove he’s always going to choose the less stressful route. The fact is he does feel a lot of pressure when he’s with J. Lo there’s no sense of ease for him. He would love to get to that place one day, but he is not there now, and he’s not going to fake it and that has her blaming Jen, not him.”
The children in the family have also complicated their divorce, as reports from earlier this year indicated that Lopez has grown close with Affleck and Garner’s eldest daughter Violet.
Affleck and Lopez also remain intertwined professional, as Affleck’s production company Artists Equity, which he co-founded with longtime friend and creative collaborator Matt Damon, is producing both of Lopez’s next two films: the Anthony Robles biopic Unstoppable (hitting Prime Video on January 6) and the adaptation of the 90s Broadway play Kiss of the Spider Woman.
