Jennifer Garner needs to work on her boundaries; at least, that is what her close friends think. Although it has been six years since she called it quits with Ben Affleck, Garner still has a close bond with her ex-husband. With Affleck recently facing marital troubles with Jennifer Lopez, the exes have been hanging out more than usual. Unfortunately, Garner’s loved ones aren’t pleased with the new development.
According to sources, the 13 Going On 30 actress has been providing a shoulder for Affleck to lean on, and it might be detrimental. “Some friends feel there should be more boundaries, especially with Ben so vulnerable,” the insider claimed. “They don’t want her ensnared in his problems again.” They are particularly concerned because of Garner’s thriving relationship with her boyfriend, John Miller. Things are going great with the longtime partner and they believe Garner’s attention on Affleck might disrupt things.
“She has a good life and a great boyfriend. Some friends believe Jen should step back from Ben a bit because it might cause tension in her relationship with John if she doesn’t.”
Despite their infidelity-plagued split, Garner undoubtedly still has love for Affleck, with whom she shares three children — Violet, Fin, and Samuel. They co-parent well, and she, alongside his friends, worries he might relapse amid his troubles with Lopez. According to Star Magazine, a second source explained:
“That’s one of the reasons why she’s keeping close tabs on him. She’s spending time with him, being a good listener. No one wants to see Ben succumb to his old self-destructive habits.”
Jennifer Garner Tired Of Playing ‘Marriage Counselor’
The outcry comes after a separate insider noted that she is getting tired of Affleck and Lopez’s drama. Per reports, the Alias alum is triggered because she is being reminded of her painful divorce from the Batman star. Now, she wants JLo and Affleck to sort out their issues without her.
