According to RadarOnline.com, Jennifer Lopez is going to great lengths to maintain a solid marriage with her partner, Ben Affleck, including forming a friendship with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Sources claim that Lopez has been actively trying to befriend Garner, who shares three children with Affleck, in order to establish a positive co-parenting dynamic and gain an ally within their blended family.
The insider revealed that Lopez has come to accept Garner’s significant influence on Affleck, acknowledging that he values her opinion and respects her, even if they are no longer married. While Jennifer Garner has been a source of tension in Ben Affleck’s recent marriage, the report suggests that Lopez sees the potential benefits of embracing their connection.
Rather than engaging in conflict, Lopez is said to be adopting a new strategy by joining forces with Garner and aiming to become her friend. The intention behind this approach is to win over Garner completely, making her an ally and confidant in the hopes of improving the troubled state of Lopez and Affleck’s relationship.
According to the source, this shift in strategy signifies the desperation Lopez feels about the current state of her marriage. As the saying goes, desperate times call for desperate measures, and Lopez is reportedly willing to try anything to salvage her relationship with Affleck.
“J Lo has come to accept that Jen will always be a huge influence on Ben,” the insider shared. “Even if they’re not married, he still values Jen’s opinion and respects her.
“While Jennifer is one of the issues that’s caused recent tension in Ben’s marriage, J Lo admits it helps her cause in the end.”
The source said that “instead of fighting it, J Lo’s trying a new approach — to join forces with Jen and be her pal.” The crafty spitfire’s reported goal is to schmooze Jennifer totally to her side as an ally and confidant.

The friendly interaction between the two Jennifers began last month when Garner was photographed accompanying a group of children, including Lopez’s 15-year-old daughter Emme, to Disneyland. This gesture of camaraderie seemingly marked the beginning of their efforts to establish a positive dynamic.
The report suggests that Lopez’s pursuit of friendship with Garner represents a last-ditch effort to save her struggling marriage. Rumors of divorce have emerged due to alleged clashes between Lopez and Affleck, creating a sense of urgency for Lopez to find a resolution.
The insider concludes by stating that Lopez no longer wants to engage in fights with Affleck and desires peace, harmony, and a renewed love and affection from her partner. In her pursuit of these goals, Lopez believes that Garner, Affleck’s ex-wife, is the best person to support her in achieving a positive and fulfilling relationship with Affleck once again.
