Jennifer Garner Allegedly Skipped Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez’s Wedding Because She Wanted To Prioritize Her Retail Therapy
Jennifer Garner was invited to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s wedding in Georgia, but she decided to politely decline the invite due to some scheduling conflicts.
But according to Globe, Garner wasn’t completely honest with her reason for skipping her ex-husband and Lopez’s nuptials. After all, she was photographed shopping with her boyfriend, John Miller on the day of the A-listers’ wedding.
“Jennifer spun the line that this was a scheduling conflict but people in her world are saying that’s baloney. If she’d wanted to attend the wedding, she could have,” the source said.
The source said that Garner had to make up a lie because she simply didn’t want to attend Affleck and Lopez’s wedding. However, she didn’t know how to tell them the truth without hurting their feelings.
“Truth is, she can’t stand the whole Bennifer 2.0 circus. It’s privately eating her heart out,” the source insisted.
On the other hand, Affleck and Lopez were allegedly disappointed with Garner’s decision to not attend their big day.
“J.Lo and Ben invited Jen to the wedding and were disappointed she didn’t find a way to be there. But it would have been a nightmare for Jen to have been there watching this cheesy spectacle. She dodged a bullet,” the source said.
It is also important to note that Garner wasn’t the only ex who did not attend Affleck and Lopez’s wedding. None of the latter’s exes were also present at the nuptials. The only difference is that Lopez did not invite Marc Anthony and Alex Rodriguez to her wedding.
Affleck and Lopez tied the knot last month in a not-so-private ceremony in Georgia. Their second nuptials were attended by a huge number of guests including their respective families and friends.
The couple’s children also played a role at their wedding. Max, Emme, and Affleck’s eldest daughter, Violet helped carry Lopez’s long trail on her way to the altar.
All the members of their families were also photographed wearing white ensembles.
Some of the guests photographed ahead of the wedding were Matt Damon and his wife. And there were also whispers that George Clooney and Amal Clooney were there. However, photos of the couple were not released online.
Following their wedding, there are rumors that Lopez and Affleck will be focusing on expanding their family in their own home.
