JLo warns Jennifer Garner to 'stay away' as singer hates that Ben Affleck 'confides' in ex-wife amid marital woes, insider reveals

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: According to sources, Jennifer Lopez warned Jennifer Garner to stay away from Ben Affleck since rumors swirl of a divorce between the songstress and the 'Air' star.

As their relationship reaches a rocky patch, Lopez, 54, is reportedly unhappy with her husband's and his ex-wife's regular get-togethers, per Radar Online.

Jennifer Lopez advises Ben Affleck to keep Jennifer Garner out of their life

According to an In Touch Weekly source, 'Alias' actor Garner, 52, is worried about Affleck's well-being in light of his relationship issues with Lopez.

However, the 'Atlas' actress detests the core closeness between her husband and his former spouse and the fact that he confides in Garner whenever anything goes wrong.

"Everyone knows that Ben and Jen remained very close after their divorce. He confides in Jen about everything, even his issues with J Lo," the insider spilled to the outlet.

The insider added: "J Lo hates that Ben goes back to his sensible, down-to-earth ex-wife for advice and emotional support. She doesn't want Jen's input."

However, insiders close to Lopez refuted the allegations.

The 'On the Floor' singer has also expressed her objection in no uncertain terms.

The source clarified, "J Lo didn't come right out and tell Jen to back off — both women have been down this road before and know their boundaries — but she did tell Ben that his ex needs to stay away from him and butt out of their personal drama."

"Ben then relayed the message to Jen," they added.

Jennifer Garner still concerned about Ben Affleck's welfare

Garner and her ex-husband Affleck, 51, have been spotted a couple of times recently as they got together for their son's basketball game in Santa Monica on May 19.

On another occasion, Garner was spotted at the $100,000-per-month Brentwood estate where Affleck is said to have been residing due to apparent marital issues with Lopez—without her kids Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, she shares with Affleck.

Although Garner and Affleck's marriage ended almost ten years ago in 2015, she continues to find it painful to witness him suffering.

The source said, "Jen would never tell Ben, 'I told you it wouldn't work out,' but she does blame J Lo for the pressure she's put Ben under."

"She sees how Ben struggles with keeping up with J Lo's very public lifestyle."

Although the insider stated that Garner initially made an effort to stay out of her ex-husband's personal matters, they also mentioned that the actress doesn't want to see Affleck revert to his past destructive habits, like substance abuse and gambling.

According to the insider, Garner believes that Ben's health comes before Lopez's feelings regarding their conversation.

The insider said, "Jen can't stand by and do nothing. That's not in her nature. She has dropped everything to make sure Ben doesn't spiral out of control again."

"At the end of the day, Ben is still the father of their children — and she will help him however she can," the source added.

Another source told Paula Froelich of NewsNation, "We all know that if Ben falls off the wagon, Jennifer [Garner] will have to pick up the pieces — she always does."

The 'Jenny from the Block' singer, however, is not a fan of her husband's ex, even with Garner's support.
