Ben Affleck Has ‘Public Meltdown’ Over Jennifer Lopez?
This week’s edition of Woman’s Day reports Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s co-parenting relationship isn’t as friendly as it once seemed. Recent sightings of the exes in the middle an intense conversation led many to believe that the parents of three were at odds. “For a while there, they were doing well at blending their families, and Jen even says herself becoming friends with J.Lo,” an insider dishes. “But lately, Ben’s been pretty neglectful of Jen’s feelings.”
Affleck spoke out about Garner’s divorce in a recent interview with Howard Stern. “Part of why I started drinking was because I was trapped. I was like, ‘I can’t leave because of my kids, but I’m not happy, what do I do?’” Affleck remarked. But it’s Affleck’s new attachment to Jennifer Lopez that has Garner worried. “Ben is constantly texting or ducking out to take phone calls from J.Lo,” the tipster explains. “Jen made it clear she was annoyed and there was a pointed comment made.”
Ben Affleck And Jennifer Garner’s Relationship ‘Strained’ By J.Lo?
This report is misleading to say the very least. First of all, it’s true Affleck and Garner were seen having an animated conversation. And yes, it’s even true it looks like Affleck could be angry in some frames. But you should watch. the entire video of their conversationIt quickly becomes apparent that the encounter was not tense.
In the clip caught of their conversation, there’s about a thirty-second spell where only Affleck is speaking as he moves quickly through a series of gestures. It seems like Affleck is engaged in a story telling while Garner is attentively listening. Garner smiles and nods throughout the encounter. A couple of times it even looks like Affleck laughs, although he’s wearing a facemask so it’s hard to tell for sure. Their chat was friendly overall.
Concerning the Gone Girl star’s interview with Howard Stern, he actually shamed the press for taking his comments out of context. “I looked on it, and they had literally taken a conversation I had had for two hours and made it seem as if I was saying the exact opposite of what I said,” Affleck explained on Good Morning America. “I went on and said how much we respect each other, and care about each other, and cared about our kids and put them first. They said that I had blamed my ex wife for my alcoholism, and that I was trapped in this marriage. Just made me out to be the worst, most insensitive, stupid, awful guy.”
Clearly, this tabloid jumped on the opportunity to further muddy the waters of Affleck and Garner’s relationship. We can see that absolutely nothing has changed, and the exes continue to co-parent their three children.
