Jennifer Lopez 'warns Ben Affleck's ex to stay away from him' amid split rumours

Jennifer Lopez has reportedly advised her ex-husband, Ben Affleck's ex-wife, Jennifer Garner to keep her distance amid swirling divorce rumours and escalating marital woes.

RadarOnline reports that J.Lo isn't comfortable with the frequency of meet-ups between Ben and his ex.

A source claimed to Life and Style, "Everyone knows that Ben and Jen remained very close after their divorce. He confides in Jen about everything, even his issues with J.Lo."

The source further suggested J.Lo is upset over Ben turning to Jen for "advice and emotional support. She doesn't want Jen's input."

On May 19, after son Samuel's basketball game in Santa Monica, Jennifer was seen visiting Ben's lavish $100,000 Brentwood mansion where the Hollywood star has been allegedly residing following the divorce whispers.

Ben and Jennifer are parents to Violet, Fin, and Samuel and their divorce was completed in October 2018. Currently, Jennifer is dating business mogul John Miller.

The insider continued, claiming Jennifer was not directly told by J.Lo as they've "been down this road before and know their boundaries."

However, J.Lo did convey to Ben that Jennifer "needs to stay away from him and butt out of their personal drama." This message was reportedly delivered to Jennifer by Ben.

However, these claims have been vehemently denied by sources close to J.Lo.

Recently, all three were snapped (though not together) at another of Samuel's basketball games on Sunday, June 2. The Get Right songstress and Ben were seen stepping out with his mother, Christopher Anne 'Chris' Boldt.

The duo also exchanged a peck on the cheek and a warm embrace. This family outing follows J.Lo's decision to cancel her This Is Me... Live tour. Her representatives have stated that J.Lo is "taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends."

As J.Lo dedicates herself to personal time with her loved ones, DailyMail sources report that Jen and her ex's current spouse maintain regular communication.

An insider revealed to the publication last month that J.Lo "has been confiding in Jen because she knows that she is one of the only people in the world who would understand what she is going through."

Furthermore, they mentioned that Jen "really does care about" J.Lo and is eager to help preserve their relationship for Affleck's sake and the wider family circle.

"Jen does not want Ben to pull the plug on this marriage," the insiderclaimed. "She did go to his house to talk to him about this and to try and keep the two of them together."

The source also noted that J.Lo "was told several times by Jen how valued she is in all their lives," emphasising that "she is one of the only women who can get through to Ben and keep him from jumping off the deep end with his addiction."

In an interview published by Vogue in November 2022, J.Lo didn't hold back her admiration for Ben's ex-wife and her parenting skills: "[She's] an amazing co-parent, and they work really well together."
