The return of Jennifer Garner as Elektra in Deadpool & Wolverine sparked interest with a subtle reference to her past with ex-husband Ben Affleck. Garner and Affleck’s relationship began on the set of Daredevil in 2003, eventually leading to marriage, three children, and divorce in 2015.
Garner’s character in the new movie responds casually to Deadpool’s condolences after the death of Daredevil, hinting at her indifference. The line conveys a light-hearted jab at her personal history.
Deadpool & Wolverine featured Garner in a much-speculated cameo, with Reynolds teasing audiences before the premiere without confirming any surprises.
Maintaining a Positive Co-Parenting Relationship
Despite their split, Garner and Affleck have maintained an amicable relationship while co-parenting their children. Affleck’s subsequent marriage to Jennifer Lopez in 2022 contrasts with Garner’s relationship with businessman John Miller since 2018.
Rumors swirl about potential issues in Affleck and Lopez‘s marriage, fueled by his absence at key events and lack of public acknowledgment of their anniversary. Affleck’s reported reliance on Garner for support has raised eyebrows.
According to a source, “Everyone knows that Ben and Jen remained very close after their divorce. He confides in Jen about everything, even his issues with J. Lo. J. Lo dislikes Ben turning to his practical, supportive ex-wife for advice and emotional comfort. She prefers not to have Jen’s influence.”
