Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, one of Hollywood's most talked-about couples, have recently been the subject of intense speculation following Affleck's intimate interaction with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2021 and subsequently tied the knot in Las Vegas, appeared notably tense during a recent public outing, fueling rumors of potential marital discord.
Affleck and Garner, who separated in 2015, have remained committed to co-parenting their three children: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. Despite their split, the two have been seen together on various occasions, primarily for their children. However, a recent interaction between the two, captured by paparazzi, has raised eyebrows. Garner was photographed embracing Affleck from the backseat of a car, with the "Justice League" actor leaning his head backward in response.
This seemingly affectionate gesture between the former couple has led to a flurry of online comments, with some netizens branding Garner as a "homewrecker." One critic commented, "Old hag Jennifer Garner trying to put the moves on her ex now married Ben Affleck. Gross what a real classy lady. Hope God sends her the karma she deserves." Another pointed out Affleck's past, suggesting he too had been a "homewrecker" in his relationship with Lopez's ex-husband, Criss Judd.
The recent photographs of Lopez and Affleck during a flea market date in Los Angeles further intensified the rumors. The couple, while wrapped in each other's arms, maintained serious expressions, with Affleck appearing particularly preoccupied. The outing marked their first public appearance since the photos of Affleck's interaction with Garner went viral.
Lopez and Affleck's love story began on the set of the 2001 movie "Gigli." Their relationship became public shortly after Lopez filed for divorce from her then-husband, Judd. The couple's whirlwind romance led to an engagement in November 2002. However, plans for their wedding were postponed due to overwhelming media attention, eventually resulting in their breakup. Despite their past challenges and relationships with other individuals, the duo reconnected in 2021, leading to their Las Vegas nuptials.
While the recent events have cast a shadow over their marital bliss, it remains to be seen how the couple will navigate these challenges. As with any high-profile relationship, Lopez and Affleck's every move is under the microscope, and only time will tell how this chapter in their love story unfolds.
