Jennifer Lopez has been confiding in Ben Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner as she struggles to save her marriage, fearing that Affleck is close to breaking his sobriety. Despite putting on a united front recently after 47 days of not being seen together, speculation continues to grow about the state of their two-year marriage. Garner, 52, arrived at Affleck’s Brentwood mansion to talk to him and try to save their marriage. She values Lopez as a stabilizing force in Affleck’s life and wants to help keep them together as she deeply cares about Lopez.
Affleck’s known pattern of behavior in dealing with marital issues has raised concerns about his sobriety among those close to him. Garner is said to be fearful that he could potentially relapse and has been keeping tabs on him to prevent this from happening. Affleck has openly discussed his struggles with alcohol following the end of his 13-year marriage to Garner in 2018. He acknowledged that his drinking escalated during the breakdown of his marriage and that he eventually sought treatment to address his issues.
Fans have long speculated about the state of Affleck and Lopez’s marriage, with reports suggesting it is on shaky ground. Awkward interactions in public and solo appearances at events have fueled rumors about the couple’s relationship status. Affleck skipping appearances at Lopez’s events and not wearing his wedding ring have added to the speculation. Despite these challenges, the couple are reportedly working together to overcome this rough patch, with Garner offering her support and encouragement to help them navigate through these difficulties.
The couple’s love story began in 2002 when they got engaged and ultimately broke up in 2004. They rekindled their romance in 2021 and got married in Las Vegas in July 2022, followed by a lavish wedding at Affleck’s Georgia estate in August. However, reports of marriage struggles surfaced earlier this month when they had not been seen together for 47 days and were living separately. Affleck’s behavior and lack of wearing his wedding ring have fueled concerns about the state of their relationship.
Despite the challenges they are facing, Lopez and Affleck are reportedly trying to make their marriage work with the support of Garner. The couple’s struggles have been attributed to unresolved issues that resurfaced after they reconnected, with tensions rising following the release of Lopez’s latest album and poor ticket sales for her upcoming tour. While the couple may be facing difficulties, they have not been seen together recently, leading to speculation about the future of their marriage. Affleck moving out of their shared home has further fueled rumors, although they are not currently heading for divorce, according to sources.
