With her unwavering support and lending a sympathetic ear, Jennifer Garner is standing by her former husband, Ben Affleck, amid swirling rumors of a potential divorce between him and his current wife, Jennifer Lopez.
It has been known that Affleck has taken up residence in a rented house following speculation that he vacated the $60 million marital residence he co-owns with Lopez a few weeks back. His former wife has been a frequent visitor despite keeping a low profile.
Recently, Garner's sightings were reported at a rental property in Brentwood, Los Angeles, where she and her former husband maintained a strong bond since their divorce nearly ten years ago.
At the start of their romantic journey in 2005, Affleck and Lopez found love after both had gone through the end of previous relationships.
But the news of their rumored split in their second attempt at love lingers, yet Garner and Affleck appear to have strengthened their bond.
Garner's unwavering support is now clearer than ever as she stands by him during his marital challenges and works to keep him on a positive path, steering clear of his past struggles with alcohol addiction.
Even after going their separate ways, they maintained a strong bond, with Garner and their kids traveling to London to stand by Affleck while he worked on Justice League.
Subsequently, she commended Affleck's abilities as a parent when they marked their son Samuel's birthday together.
News of Affleck's struggles with alcohol addiction made headlines, leading him to seek treatment at a rehab facility in 2017 at the urging of Garner and their children. The Gone Girl actor shared a post-rehab message later that year, expressing gratitude for Garner's unwavering support during his recovery journey.
He said in an interview, "I'm lucky to have the love of my family and friends, including my co-parent, Jen, who has supported me and cared for our kids as I've done the work I set out to do."
"The support I have received from my family, colleagues, and fans means more to me than I can say."
Back in 2020, Affleck candidly told the New York Times that one decision haunted him deeply, was his divorce to Garner.

Since reigniting their love, they have found solace in each other's presence, with reports suggesting that Garner acknowledges Lopez's positive impact on her ex-husband's well-being.
According to an individual with inside knowledge, sources revealed to the Daily Mail that Garner has been offering assistance not only to her ex-husband but also to Lopez.
"[Lopez] 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."
"She has been through it with the same man herself and although the circumstances were quite different it is still the same man and they both dealt with some of the same issues."
It was noted that Garner is eager to support the connection between Affleck and Lopez and expresses how much she appreciates Lopez.
"[Lopez] is one of the only women who can get through to Ben and keep him from jumping off the deep end with his addiction."
