The recent Thanksgiving reunion of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck with their children has reportedly left Jennifer Lopez feeling “humiliated.” The ongoing dynamic between the two ex-spouses, especially during such a sensitive time, continues to grab headlines.

Ben Affleck’s Connection with Jennifer Garner

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were married in 2005 and divorced in 2018. Despite their separation, they’ve maintained a cordial relationship, particularly for their three children—Violet, 19, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12. Their commitment to co-parenting was evident as they volunteered together at a Thanksgiving charity event, distributing meals to the homeless in Los Angeles.

While this act of kindness highlighted their strong co-parenting bond, it seems to have struck a nerve with Jennifer Lopez, who recently filed for divorce from Affleck after two years of marriage.

Jennifer Lopez’s Reaction

According to insider sources, the sight of Ben and Garner together left Lopez feeling overshadowed and humiliated. An insider revealed:

“Jen [Lopez] felt threatened by Jennifer [Garner] for almost all of her marriage—the way Ben would run to her for advice any time they had a fight drove her crazy.”

This emotional response reportedly stems from the friction in her marriage to Affleck, where his closeness with Garner often created tension.

Holiday Plans Gone Awry

J.Lo had high hopes for a harmonious holiday season, expecting Ben to split his time between her and Jennifer Garner. However, when Affleck skipped out on their planned Thanksgiving dinner to spend time with Garner and the kids, Lopez reportedly felt blindsided.

“It was humiliating for Jen [Lopez] because she’d told everyone that Ben would be there for dinner,” the insider claimed.

Despite the emotional upheaval, Garner seems to have no interest in rekindling anything romantic with Affleck. She has been dating businessman John Miller since 2018, and their relationship appears stable.

The Complicated History of Bennifer

Lopez and Affleck’s love story began in the early 2000s, capturing media attention as one of Hollywood’s most high-profile relationships. Although they called off their initial engagement days before the wedding, they rekindled their romance in 2021 and married in 2022. However, their union was short-lived, with Lopez filing for divorce this past summer.

Jennifer Lopez’s Strategy Moving Forward

J.Lo is reportedly determined to maintain her composure and project strength amidst the divorce drama.

“She’s making sure she’s out and about looking her best, because she’ll be damned if she’s going to give him, or Jennifer [Garner], the pleasure of seeing her fall apart,” the source added.

A Blended Family in Transition

While Lopez has twins from her previous marriage to Latin superstar Marc Anthony, the insider notes that she still hopes Affleck will prioritize their blended family. For now, the dynamics between the three seem to remain complex, with emotions running high.

The post-divorce chapter for Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, and Jennifer Garner is proving to be as intricate as their shared histories. With Affleck balancing co-parenting responsibilities and Lopez focusing on her next steps, this evolving narrative continues to captivate fans worldwide.
