This past year has been challenging for Jennifer Lopez, with 2025 not starting off on the right foot either. Despite receiving praise for her role in the sports biopic “Unstoppable” and dating rumors with Hollywood star Kevin Costner, Lopez is still navigating the emotional aftermath of her divorce from Ben Affleck, marking the end of her fourth marriage.
Adding to her struggles, Lopez faces criticism from her ex-husband as well as some political figures. Recently, she supported Kamala Harris for the presidential race in 2024. Following Donald Trump‘s second-term inauguration, political commentator Megyn Kelly harshly criticized Lopez, labeling her an “expert” in “ruining marriages,” all while Affleck’s behavior regarding Lopez is getting scrutiny.
Jennifer Garner comments on Ben’s behavior towards J.Lo
After four months of tension, Lopez and Affleck have finally finalized their divorce, which was marred by heated disputes over asset division.
In a surprising turn of events, Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner has sided with Lopez following the divorce.
A source revealed to In Touch Weekly that “Jen has considerable influence over Ben these days and feels a responsibility to address his behavior, especially towards J.Lo.” The source continues, stating that Affleck has been impatient and somewhat ungrateful in Garner’s eyes.
Affleck has expressed frustration about Lopez’s “micromanagement,” reportedly stemming from their efforts to blend their families. He and Garner share three children, while Lopez has twins from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony. Lopez has shown commitment to maintaining a bond with Affleck’s children, although he seems to resist ongoing interactions.
Garner admires Lopez’s dedication to the children, noting that she has kept her promise to be involved, unlike Affleck’s lack of involvement with Lopez’s twins. “Jen has called him out on it and urged him to take more responsibility,” added the insider.
