Jennifer Garner is allegedly planning a secret wedding to her longtime boyfriend, John Miller. The pair reportedly got quietly engaged after years of dating. However, there is one big obstacle that the actress is going to have to deal with when it comes to her wedding ceremony. Does she invite her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, and his current wife, Jennifer Lopez? Sources claim that Garner does not want JLo at her nuptials for a very big reason.
Garner and Affleck have remained close following their divorce. The couple share three children together, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. They seem to co-parent very well together. However, when it comes to having Affleck and Lopez at her wedding, the 13 Going on 30 star is reportedly putting her foot down. She might be fine with Affleck attending the ceremony. However, she doesn’t want JLo at the event in fear that she’ll outshine the bride.
Jennifer Garner Worried Jennifer Lopez Will Cause a Scene at Her Wedding
Jennifer Garner reportedly wants a very quiet wedding day. However, she’s afraid that Jennifer Lopez’s presence with Ben Affleck would turn the special day into a circus, per Closer.
“John and Jen have quietly been engaged for a while now, they’ve just been very hesitant to make it public because they don’t want to deal with the frenzy it’s going to cause,” a source tells the outlet. “Right now, the plan is to have it this summer and keep it very low key, which obviously it won’t be if JLo shows up.”
The situation is tricky, especially for Affleck. “It’s put Ben in a very tough spot because he wants to be there for his kids, but there’s just no way JLo is going to accept this without making a huge fuss. Fact is, if Jen wants Ben there she may have to give in and invite JLo too, just to keep the peace,” the insider added.
Jennifer Garner might have to make a tough decision about her wedding guest list. Perhaps Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez should hang back and let the actress have her special day.
