Jennifer Lopez is reportedly feeling more than just frustration with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, as rumors swirl about his growing bond with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Following Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s divorce in August 2024, things appear to be heating up between Affleck and Garner. As they reportedly spent Christmas 2024 together with their children, Jennifer Lopez has found herself caught in a whirlwind of emotions, especially with the public’s attention on their interactions.

Sources close to Lopez suggest that she has always felt a sense of suspicion regarding Jennifer Garner, her ex-husband’s former spouse. According to InTouch Weekly, Lopez’s unease began even during her marriage to Affleck. Lopez was said to have felt threatened by Garner, particularly whenever Ben Affleck would turn to Garner for advice during their marital conflicts. “The way Ben would run to her for advice any time they had a fight drove her crazy,” a source revealed.

Lopez’s suspicions have reportedly been growing since the couple’s divorce, and seeing Affleck and Garner act like a “cozy, happy family” again in public has intensified those feelings. The source further shared that Jennifer Lopez was convinced that there was still something between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, even after their divorce. This situation has made Lopez feel more justified in her past suspicions.

Despite Lopez’s feelings of betrayal, the tension isn’t just with Ben Affleck. According to insiders, Lopez believes that Jennifer Garner is the real villain in the story. The report goes on to mention how Garner allegedly acted friendly and supportive towards Jennifer Lopez while, in reality, she was running interference between Lopez and Affleck. “JLo is furious with Ben, but in her view, it’s Jen that’s the real villain because she acted like this total sweetheart to Jen’s face and made a show of wanting to help, when in reality, she was running interference the whole time,” the source said.

It’s clear that the ongoing dynamics between Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, and Jennifer Garner are far from simple. With their personal lives being widely discussed in the media, Lopez’s emotions have been laid bare as she processes this new chapter. The public reunion of Affleck and Garner has undoubtedly complicated things for Lopez, leaving her questioning old suspicions about their relationship.

As for Ben Affleck, while he continues to co-parent with Jennifer Garner, his relationship with Jennifer Lopez has taken a sharp turn after their divorce. Whether or not this “reunion” between Affleck and Garner will continue to cause waves in Jennifer Lopez’s life remains to be seen. What is evident is that the complicated relationship dynamics continue to unfold, keeping Hollywood watchers on edge.

In this ongoing saga, Jennifer Lopez’s feelings of betrayal and frustration are unlikely to subside anytime soon, especially as the relationship between Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner continues to blossom in public view.
