Yet again, insiders are saying things aren’t exactly the best in Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, and Jennifer Garner’s world. Weeks ago, everything seemed great with the blended family, but ever since photos of Garner and Affleck hugging and smiling in the car were posted online, things have taken a turn. Allegedly, Lopez has been left “furious” and has “intense” jealousy over the ex’s bond. And insiders now say Affleck “may have crossed the line.”

Insiders spilled the alleged details to OK, saying, “Ben’s reliance on Jen as a confidante may have crossed the line.” Because of this, insiders also told the outlet that the True Love author has allegedly made some demands for Affleck on how to navigate his relationship with his ex-wife.

“Ben has insisted to J. Lo that she’s the only woman for him and that he just cares for Jen because of the children and what they’ve been through,” the insider added. “But that didn’t do much to relieve J. Lo’s concerns. She’s insisting that Ben make her his No. 1 priority again — not Jen.”

Now, how has Garner been going through this reported feud? Well, along with Lopez reportedly texting the 13 Going on 30 star her grievances, Garner is having a reportedly difficult time. Garner “really does want to like J. Lo, for the kids’ sake. Ben is making that difficult, though. His latest gripes changed her perspective.”

For those that don’t know, Lopez and Affleck were together from 2002 to 2004 after meeting on the set of Gigli. A few years after they called off their engagement, Affleck tied the knot with Garner in 2005 and welcomed three children named Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11. (Lopez previously welcomed twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony in 2008 named Maximilian and Emme, 15.)

They broke up in 2015, and the divorce was finalized in 2018. Then, Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance in 2021, and wed a year later.
