Jennifer Garner And Jennifer Lopez Reportedly Form An Unlikely Bond
Most of Ben Affleck's love life has been the tale of two Jennifers. As fans know, the actor famously dated and became engaged to singer Jennifer Lopez in the early 2000s and they were basically Hollywood royalty. However, the first time around, the couple never made it down the aisle, calling it quits in 2004, per People. Many people felt that the intense media circus surrounding most of their relationships proved to be the catalyst for the split.
Lopez went on to wed Marc Anthony, while Affleck later linked up with another famous Jennifer: Jennifer Garner. Lopez and Anthony share two kids, twins Max and Emme, while Garner and Affleck have three kiddos of their own — Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. Of course, Lopez famously split with Anthony and Garner and Affleck called it quits as well.
In 2021, Affleck and Lopez rekindled their romance, and thus Bennifer 2.0 was born. In February, the singer gushed to People over her love story with Affleck, and it's enough to make anyone swoon. "I've never been better," she gushed to the outlet. "It's just that we're all in a very beautiful moment." She also called herself "lucky and happy and proud" to be with Affleck for a second time. The pair wed in August; and since then, they have focused on their blended family, which includes a total of 5 kids. But, things are going as smoothly as expected thanks to an unlikely bond between Affleck's current and former flames.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, are reportedly pretty close, proving that friendly ex-spouses and new spouses can get along just fine. A source close to the situation tells Us Weekly that the two women have been "bonding," and we're not going to lie; it makes us really happy to hear!
"Now that Jen and Jen have been co-parenting, they've been getting to know each other better and have formed a very new friendship," the insider revealed, adding that Garner loves how "sweet" Lopez is to her three kids (whom she shares with Affleck). And if that's not enough, the insider also shares that Lopez and Garner "really enjoy each other," which is all the more reason to love them.
In an interview with Vogue, Lopez also praised Garner for the way that they have been able to smoothly co-parent their kids, calling the "Alias" star "an amazing co-parent, and [Garner and Affleck] work really well together." She added, "The transition is a process that needs to be handled with so much care." Lopez also noted that since her twins are teens and since Affleck and Garner's girls are teens, "they have so many feelings," but stated that "it's going really well so far."
