Remember all those reports from a few weeks back that Jennifer Garner was encouraging Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez to make their marriage work? Well, apparently she's over it.
The Daily Mail recently reported that Jen Garner is done being a marriage counselor to her ex. As a source who spoke with the outlet put it, “Jen eventually got to a place where she was like, 'Sorry, figure this out yourself.' It was beginning to become too painful for her because it was bringing back so many memories of their divorce.”
“Throughout their marriage there were times when Jen felt like she was second to J.Lo even though there was no communication between her and Ben for years,” the insider added. “She was surprised at how public he became when they reunited because he was always a man who wanted to be out of the spotlight when they were married. Jen opened up her home and her life to J.Lo because she had moved on from the past. She cares about J.Lo and cares about their kids and how it will affect all of them. But in the end, it is not Jen's circus, not Jen's monkeys and she is done playing marriage counselor to her ex-husband and his wife.”
Back in May (aka when all the Bennifer divorce speculation kicked off), a source told Us Weekly that Jennifer Garner was “encouraging Ben to work on his marriage to Jen. She fully supports their relationship and wants nothing more than for him to be happy.”
Meanwhile, an insider told People that the 13 Going on 30 actor wanted “him happy and healthy so he can be the best dad possible,” adding that she likes the fact that J.Lo “lives a healthy lifestyle and supports Ben’s sobriety. Jen wants that for Ben.”
