Garner says she loves spending time with Affleck’s family during the holidays, unlike Lopez who struggles with those close to her husband.

Following a report that Ben Affleck’s long-time friend Matt Damon isn’t supportive of his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, it appears his ex-wife Jennifer Garner is also throwing shade at J.Lo.

Earlier this month, Radar Online released a report in which a source claimed that Damon has always struggled seeing Lopez and Affleck together, as he finds the singer too controlling.

“Matt’s had serious reservations about Bennifer 2.0 since the beginning,” the source said. “He’s tried to be publicly supportive for Ben’s sake, but the fact is he hates the way J Lo treats his buddy and can no longer hold his tongue.”

“It’s no secret Ben and J Lo haven’t been getting along, as he always seems to be in the doghouse. It’s obvious something needs to change, but when Matt started giving Ben advice, he totally blew up,” they continued.

Ben and J.Lo first dated in the early 2000s, and were even supposed to get married before calling off the wedding days before in 2003, citing media pressure as the reason. They ended their relationship the following year, only to reconcile almost two decades later in 2021. They finally wed last year in several high profile ceremonies.

Garner Says She Loves Spending Time With Affleck’s Family, Unlike J.Lo

Recently, Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner – with whom he shares three children – recently opened up about how she was spending the holidays.

The actress’s emphasis on wanting to spend quality time with her family (including Affleck’s loved ones) have been perceived by some as a subtle dig towards Lopez, considering she’s been accused of not getting along with those close to Ben, like Matt Damon.

“I’ll have my whole family together – my sisters, my niece, my nephews, I love them all, my brothers-in-law, of course, my parents, and my kids. I can’t wait for it,” Garner told Entertainment Tonight, saying that she always “dives into the kitchen” for the holidays and “loves” time with family.
