Jennifer Garner Is ‘Done’ Speaking to Jennifer Lopez Months After Ben Affleck Split, Source Alleges
Despite the emotional upheaval of Ben Affleck’s 2025 divorce from Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner has remained a supportive constant in his life. Garner has clearly offered Affleck emotional support during this transition, checking in more often as he re-enters single life. But she has made it clear that her large, close relationship with tech CEO John Miller remains her focus. Now, fans of Lopez and Affleck wonder what Lopez’s relationship with Garner is like now that they no longer co-parent. Here’s what an insider said about how Garner is “done” speaking to Lopez now that they don’t have to communicate.
Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez are allegedly no longer on speaking terms post-Ben Affleck divorce
Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez have consistently spoken about each other with warmth and respect, particularly in the context of co-parenting Ben Affleck’s children. Lopez has praised Garner publicly, calling her “an amazing co‑parent.” She acknowledged how well Garner and Affleck work together for their children’s well-being. Garner, too, has expressed admiration for Lopez, with insiders sharing that Garner “can’t believe how sweet” Lopez is to their shared kids and has given Lopez “her seal of approval.”
Their mutual respect allegedly deepened into friendship during Lopez’s marriage to Affleck. Sources described the two Jennifers as close allies bonded over blending families and raising children who adore one another. However, Garner and Lopez’s friendship might be over now that months have passed since Affleck and Lopez finalized their divorce. A source told British journalist and gossip columnist Rob Shuter that Garner is officially “done” with Lopez and is “Team Ben 100%.”
“She was there before, during, and after Bennifer — and now she’s back in his corner in a big way,” a friend alleged.
Another source said Garner “never trusted” her friendship with Lopez. “She smiled for the kids, but behind closed doors, there was tension,” they alleged. “She felt like J.Lo stirred up chaos — and Ben doesn’t need chaos.”
Another source claims the 2 women checked in with each other earlier in 2025
While sources now claim that Jennifer Garner wants nothing to do with Jennifer Lopez, that’s contrary to what other sources alleged earlier in 2025. A source told People that Garner and Lopez remained friends after Lopez and Ben Affleck finalized their divorce.
“Jennifer Garner reaches out to Jennifer Lopez about her kids,” the source alleged. “Jennifer Lopez reaches out to Jennifer Garner about her kids. They’re friends. They have really found a great female support system and communicate.”
“We’re always pitting women against women,” the source added. “In this case, it’s just not the truth.”
The insider also noted that Lopez felt unbothered by reports of Garner and Affleck getting closer after the divorce finalization. “People are reading into it in a way to create drama where there is none,” the source said.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s kids allegedly remain close to Jennifer Lopez’s twins
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s three kids grew close to Jennifer Lopez’s twins during Affleck and Lopez’s marriage. And Lopez seemed to have a particularly close bond with Affleck and Garner’s teen daughter, Violet. A source told Us Weekly that all of the kids stayed close post-divorce, though Lopez and Affleck don’t often communicate anymore.
“Ben and J.Lo have taken a step back from each other,” a source said. “They’re still in touch, but they were more so during the divorce because they had a reason to be, especially for the kids. The blended family vibe has softened with distance, but there’s still lots of love.”
The source added that Lopez and Garner have also “spoken a couple of times” since Lopez and Affleck officially called it quits. “Jennifer is one of the few people J.Lo trusts.”
