Jennifer Garner Posts Cryptic Poem Amid Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Divorce Rumors
It’s unconfirmed if Jennifer Garner was trying to reach out to Ben Affleck with a secret message. However, many fans believe that she may be too involved in his relationship with Jennifer Lopez.
“She should mind her own business. She is the reason Ben can never have a successful relationship. She is always waiting in the wings and inserting herself into his business,” one person tweeted about the situation.
However, sources previously told OK! Magazine that Garner is simply worried that Affleck may spiral out of control. In the past, the actor has struggled with alcohol abuse. He’s even been to rehab. Garner was there for him during those dark days, and she doesn’t want it to happen again. Of course, their children are likely the source of her worry. She’s afraid that the JLo divorce drama may have a negative impact on Affleck’s sobriety.
“Jen can’t stand by and do nothing. That’s not in her nature,” the insider said. “She has dropped everything to make sure Ben doesn’t spiral out of control again. At the end of the day, Ben is still the father of their children, and she will help him however she can.”
Jennifer Garner may be trying to keep Ben Affleck’s spirits up during this low point in his life. However, only time will tell what the future holds for his marriage with Jennifer Lopez. Thankfully, he appears to have a friend to lean on.
