Jennifer Garner ‘encouraged’ Ben Affleck to ‘work on’ his marriage to Jennifer Lopez before divorce filing

Jennifer Garner “encouraged” ex-husband Ben Affleck to work on his marriage with Jennifer Lopez before the pair headed for divorce, a source exclusively tells Page Six.

The “13 Going on 30” actress, 52, “had even become friendly with Jennifer and they were communicating on a regular basis.”

However, Page Six learns that Garner “hasn’t been in touch” with Lopez, 55, recently, though she “has no problem with Jennifer.”

“At the end of the day, she just wants Ben to be happy,” our source explains.

A rep for Garner did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The former couple — who called it quits on their 10-year marriage in 2015 — share three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12.

A source told Page Six at the time that the Oscar winner felt “blessed” to surround himself with Garner and their children on Thanksgiving following his separation from Lopez.
