Garner stalled their divorce because she wanted Ben Affleck, who was working on his sobriety at the time, to be in the right headspace before they finalized things.

The actress was also on board with the Batman actor getting back together with his ex Jennifer Lopez and their wedding. But now, it seems like she does not want to meddle anymore.

13 Going 30 actress Jennifer Garner is known as one of the sweetest actresses in the industry, and it was proven when she not only supported her ex-husband Ben Affleck during the time of his sobriety but also continued to help him out whenever needed.

US Weekly reported that Garner and Affleck have a great co-parenting relationship, as they mutually understand that the kids come first. The source also shared that they get along well. They added;

However, being the sweetest and most positive person Garner is, she was rooting for their relationship. The source added that she was hopeful that things would eventually work out between the two of them, but of course, she wants them to be happy. Garner is supportive of whatever path the two of them will choose. A source shared with InStyle Weekly:

She is trying her best to stay out of their relationship in terms of what went wrong because she doesn’t feel like it’s any of her business. It’s boiled down to the fact that Affleck and JLo are two different people.

Affleck chose to prioritize his work and family over spending time in the Hamptons with Lopez. Garner became his confidante as he navigated his relationship tension with Lopez. The actress-singer filed for divorce from Affleck on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding.

Did Ben Affleck’s divorce from Jennifer Lopez cause trouble for Jennifer Garner-John Miller?

As the news of Affleck and Lopez heading for divorce was announced, all eyes were on Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner as well, who has been dating John Miller since 2018 on and off. Some source shared that Garner and Miller had been doing well amid the reports of Affleck heading for divorce from wife Jennifer Lopez.

A source shared with People that she’s happy with John. The two of them were recently spotted leaving a restaurant in Malibu, California. The duo are rarely spotted together, as they like to keep their relationship away from the public eye. However, it was also reported that the two of them are ‘on a break’, according to a source shared with Life & Style Magazine.

Jen’s had so much going on with Ben; it just took a toll, and she and John ended up going their separate ways. It wasn’t her choice. Ben has been turning to Jen for advice and support, and that’s been a big source of annoyance for John. He doesn’t enjoy competing with her ex-husband for her attention.

Back in 2018, when Affleck checked into rehab for alcoholism, Garner was by his side. The publication reports that she even had the security code for Affleck’s rental home in Brentwood, California. The source has added that Miller understands Ben and has been supportive, but at the same time, there is so much he could take. They mentioned that after Affleck moved out of the house he shared with JLo, he became incredibly needy and would turn to Garner for support.

Jen can be very easy on Ben, but privately, even she admits that he’s taken up a lot of her time—especially because they’ve had so much parenting to deal with.

The source concluded that Garner needs Ben to be healthy for the sake of the kids, and with his history of addiction, the actress has to be extra careful so that he doesn’t relapse.
