Reports Suggest Why Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez Will Probably Never Be Friends
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez met for the first time on the sets of 2003’s Gigli. During the time, the pop icon was married to her second husband, Cris Judd. But after divorcing Judd in the same year, the duo made their relationship official, even getting engaged. But destiny had other intentions, and they called it quits in 2004, going their separate ways.
It was after this that Affleck fell in love with Jennifer Garner and got married in 2005. Currently, the duo is divorced and fully focused on the well-being of their three kids. But in the midst of his ongoing divorce with Lopez, several sources have brought Garner into the mix as well.
According to the Daily Mail, Garner reportedly feels that she’s been used as a pawn by Lopez to mend her marriage with Affleck. Her friends also feel that the Elektra actress shouldn’t bring herself into the middle of the situation, especially given her past with the Batman actor.
The source further adds that “In the end, Jen Garner always has Ben’s back, and although she does consider J.Lo a friend now, no one sees this blossoming further.”
