Jennifer Garner is always someone on whom Ben Affleck depends. Despite their divorce, she has been by his side through thick and thin. But she has reached her limit with his attitude and has put him in his place, especially regarding how he treats his ex-wife, JLo.
Who would have thought that in 2025, fans would see Jennifer Garner blasting Ben Affleck and defending his ex-JLo? Celebrity news followers know that JLo and Jen are not the best of friends, nor will they ever likely become besties. However, Garner surprised her followers by recently sticking up for Lopez.
Sources close to Garner, Affleck, and Lopez tell In Touch that while Jennifer will always care and be there for Ben, she has had enough and demands that he do better.
“Jen has a huge amount of sway with Ben these days, so she does feel quite obligated to police his behavior, particularly when it comes to the way he’s been treating J. Lo. “He’s been so impatient with her and actually quite ungrateful, at least in Jen’s view.”
Garner has seen firsthand just how rude and snippy Ben can be. While she understands that he is hurt and the divorce has not been easy, she wants him to knock off the pettiness to set a better example for his children.
JLo and Affleck’s divorce has left each of them feeling salty. Despite the divorce being finalized, Ben has some issues with how things were handled. He’s been venting to Jennifer about JLo, and now Garner has finally put her foot down.
JLo’s Dedication To The Children Impresses Jennifer Garner
The insider claims that Ben is frustrated and feels that JLo tends to want to micromanage things even now. However, Jennifer Garner feels JLo is very kind to Ben, considering all they have been through recently, and Affleck needs to recognize that.
Garner also appreciates how dedicated JLo remains to her and Ben’s three children. When Lopez and Affleck were married, they all worked hard to blend the two families.
JLo cares deeply for Ben’s kids, and it has not gone unnoticed by Jennifer Garner. “Jen is very impressed with how devoted to the kids JLo still is. She has stuck to her word and continued to be in their lives.”
“Jennifer is always looking out for the kids, even JLo’s. She doesn’t seem interested in Ben romantically and wants JLo to know that she is not the enemy,” one fan comments.
On the other hand, Ben does not do the same with Lopez’s children. So Jennifer Garner has set Ben straight. “Ben is also pretty rude and grumpy whenever he talks to or sees JLo, and for Jen, that’s just not acceptable. She thinks he needs to grow up and act like an adult and start being a lot nicer to JLo.“
Jennifer Garner wants everyone to get along and put all the children first. JLo also appears to feel the same way. Now, if they can get Ben Affleck on the same page, then they can all be happy and move on with their lives. Either that or Ben continues down the same miserable path he is on alone.
