LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The drama surrounding Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's ongoing divorce has taken up the heat since Affleck started spending more time with his ex Jennifer Garner.

Jennifer Lopez thinks Jennifer Garner is 'real villain' of her divorce from Affleck

As per the reports by the outlet, an insider said, "JLo felt threatened by Jen Garner for almost all of her marriage. The way Ben would run to her for advice any time they had a fight drove her crazy."

The source continued, "She has always been suspicious that there’s still something between them, and seeing them acting like this cosy, happy family again for the whole world to see has only made her even more sure she was right all along."

Notably, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck filed for divorce in August 2024 after two years of marriage. Since their divorce, Affleck has turned to Garner for support.

Interestingly, the two were married from 2005-18 and have three children together. A different report claimed that Affleck is "just much more comfortable" spending time with Garner and their kids, per the outlet.

However, the insider added that Lopez is feeling "humiliated" by all this. The insider said, "It’s so humiliating because she feels like she was played for a total fool, like she ignored her own instincts because she wanted to believe the lies Ben told her."

The source added, "She’s furious with Ben, but in her view, it’s Jen that’s the real villain because she acted like this total sweetheart to Jen’s face and made a show of wanting to help when in reality she was running interference the whole time."

Moreover, reports claimed that Lopez and Affleck's divorce proceedings have come to a halt as the two actors cannot agree on how to divide their assets.
