Here's How Jennifer Lopez Apparently Feels About Those Photos Of Ben Affleck Hugging Jennifer Garner
It doesn't look like Jennifer Lopez will release a "Bad Blood" remix anytime soon.
Earlier this month, suggestive photos went viral of Ben Affleck giving his ex, Jennifer Garner, a really tight hug at their son's birthday party.
They share three kids: Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, who turned 13th this month. Garner and Affleck were married in 2005, announced their split in 2015, and their divorce was finalized three years later.
With this new viral photo, of course, the internet speculated there was more behind the hug, which could spark drama considering Affleck and Garner's other relationships since their split.
If you remember, after rekindling their relationship in 2021 and getting married in July 2022, Affleck and Lopez filed for divorce, which marked their second high-profile split since they broke off their first engagement in 2004.
In January 2025, the divorce was finalized after nearly 20 weeks, so it makes sense why people would wonder how Lopez feels about Affleck seemingly cozying up with his previous ex-wife.
According to an insider obtained by People, Affleck and Garner "have been on good terms for a while now and seem to enjoy chatting and hanging out." The insider clarified that "most of the time, the kids are around too," so it feels like nothing more than a co-parenting situation.
As for Garner, she's been dating John C. Miller, the CEO of CaliBurger and its parent company, CaliGroup.
The source added that Affleck "usually acts happy around" Garner and has been "extra giddy lately, though, and much more affectionate."
So, how does the "On The Floor" singer feel about all these viral photos? According to a source obtained by People, Lopez "isn't bothered" by the cozy photos "at all."
The source claims, " Jennifer Garner knows what it is and knows what it is not. And people are reading into it in a way to create drama where there is none."
The source added that Lopez "doesn't feel betrayed" and "I think the two Jens are great admirers of the other, and I think they're all co-parenting."
In case you wanted some mess, you're out of luck. It's copacetic in the world of Ben's ex-Jennifers. "There is no animosity. They are friendly," the source continued, "We're always pitting women against women. In this case, it's just not the truth."
Personally, I find it very admirable that Ben and the Jennifers have maintained a decent co-parenting relationship for the children. It's far better than the Bravo-esque drama people are searching for. Tell me what you think about this in the comments.
