During this difficult time, Jennifer Garner reportedly only has her ex-husband's best interests at heart. Ben and Jennifer Garner were married from 2005 to 2018, and they share three children, Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12. Let's take a closer look at the latest reports.
Jennifer Garner reportedly 'wants the best' for Ben Affleck.
A source recently opened up to People about Jennifer Garner's thoughts on Ben and J.Lo's marital woes. The Alias actress reportedly has no ill will toward her ex. In fact, Jennifer Garner "wants the best" for Ben, the source reportedly said.
Garner appreciates the positive influence Lopez has on Ben.
Not only does Jennifer Garner reportedly want Ben to be happy, but she also acknowledges the positive influence J.Lo has. Reportedly, the mom of three "likes" that she "lives a healthy lifestyle and supports Ben’s sobriety." The source told People, "Jen wants that for Ben."
Reportedly, Jennifer wants Ben to be happy so he can be a present father to their kids.
It makes sense that she would want the best for Ben. Ultimately, his happiness affects the happiness of their three kids. As the source told People, “She wants him happy and healthy so he can be the best dad possible."
Ben and Jen weren't seen together publicly for nearly 50 days.
In early May, multiple outlets reported that Bennifer had not been seen in public together in quite some time — nearly 50 days, at the time. The couple was last spotted by paparazzi on March 30 in New York City. When Ben didn't show up at the Met Gala with Jennifer on May 6, speculation ramped up.
Not long the rumors swelled, they were spotted together in an SUV.
On May 16, Ben and Jen were finally caught by photographers at the same place at the same time. Ben picked up J.Lo and her child Emme following a school play in Los Angeles for Ben's child, Fin, Page Six reported.
A few days later, on May 19, Bennifer was photographed while walking through a parking garage for a movie event at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica, California, Page Six reported
Meanwhile, there were reports of the couple living separately amid Ben and J.Lo 'having issues in their marriage.'
“Jen and Ben are having issues in their marriage,” a source told Us Weekly on May 18. “They started having issues a few months ago as Jen had started ramping up work commitments and prepping for her tour.”
Around the same time, TMZ reported that Bennifer was living separately.
Hopefully, J.Lo and Ben make the best decision about their relationship for themselves and their kids.
