In the midst of these marital issues, Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, has been a surprising source of support.
Affleck and Lopez‘s relationship history dates back to their initial engagement in 2002, which ended in 2004. After their split, Affleck married Garner in 2005, with whom he shares three children. Even after their divorce, Garner and Affleck have remained close, co-parenting their kids and maintaining a friendly relationship. This bond has seemingly extended to Lopez, with whom Garner reportedly has a positive relationship.

An unexpected ally
According to sources, Garner has been actively involved in supporting Lopez and Affleck through their current struggles. One insider told DailyMail.com that Garner has been in regular communication with Lopez, offering guidance and support as they navigate these challenges.
“Jennifer is eternally grateful for her help even though she has now taken a step back,” the source noted. “But Jen was able to get through to her ex-husband like no one else could — even her.”
This unexpected alliance has reportedly been helpful, providing Lopez with a sense of reassurance during this difficult time.
An additional report from Us Weekly in July 2024 describes Garner as an “unexpected ally” for Lopez, showing the supportive role she has played amid the couple’s difficulties.
Affleck, who lives nearby in a high-end rental property in Brentwood, has been seen visiting Garner’s home frequently. These visits, often for the sake of spending time with their children, have also been opportunities for Affleck to seek advice from Garner.
“Jen eventually got to a place where she was like, ‘Sorry, figure this out yourself,’” an insider stressed. “It was beginning to become too painful for her because it was bringing back so many memories of their divorce.”
