Tensions are allegedly brewing between Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck.
In its Dec. 27 issue, Woman’s Day claimed that Garner has been upset with her ex-husband for weeks. After all, he is always on his phone chatting with Jennifer Lopez when he’s also hanging out with their children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
A source claimed that Affleck even goes out of Garner’s house to pick up Lopez’s calls instead of just ignoring it or telling his girlfriend that he’s bonding with his children.
“Ben is constantly texting or ducking out to take phone calls from J.Lo. Jen made it clear she was annoyed and there was a pointed comment made,” the source said.
The insider also claimed that Garner, Affleck, and Lopez were previously on the same page when it comes to blending their families. However, this didn’t last very long.
“For a while there, they were doing well at blending their families. And Jen even saw herself becoming friends with J.Lo. But lately, Ben’s been pretty neglectful of Jen’s feelings,” the source said.
During a recent interview with Howard Stern, Affleck said that he felt trapped in his marriage to Garner. The Batman v Superman actor also said that if he and Garner didn’t divorce, he would still be drinking to this day.
The actor’s comments did not sit well with Garner’s fans and those that know how much the actress sacrificed just to say her marriage to Affleck. And what made things worse was the fact that Garner previously called Affleck the love of her life.
Shortly after he received a backlash, Affleck clarified the statements that he made about his ex-wife when he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Affleck said that his words were taken out of context by the media that turned his story of praise and love for Garner into a clickbait story.
Even though it’s true that Affleck said that he felt trapped in his marriage to Garner, the actor also said that he loves his wife and that they are good at co-parenting their kids.
Affleck said that he understands the public’s obsession with his life, but he will always draw the line when his children are affected.
The actor’s recent statement about Garner proves that they are not at odds with each other. And there’s also no tension between them.
