Jennifer Lopez Got in the Way of Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner's Marriage, Source Claims [Rumors]
It looks like the rumors will never let Bennifer 1.0 rest as the rumor mills are now linking the "American Idol" judge to the reason for the Bennifer 2.0 split up, even if J. Lo's and Ben Affleck's love affair already fizzled more than a decade ago.
According to Radar Online, multiple sources are saying J. Lo has interfered with Jennifer Garner and Affleck's marriage and has caused a rift between the two.
A source tells the site that Garner is extremely furious and upset with J. Lo as she thinks J. Lo is bitter and jealous over their marriage. The source also says that Garner feels that J. Lo is punishing her and is adding salt to the wound now that she's down and hurt.
The source even states that Garner has asked Affleck to stop J. Lo's backbiting drama but Affleck retaliated and said he is no longer seeing his ex-girlfriend. Of course Garner didn't take the bait.
The Hollywood Gossip also writes that an insider from the Sun said the rumors escalated after Affleck is seen being too close to J. Lo at the Oscars. This made Garner look into the rumors and have discovered that Affleck and J. Lo are spending more time than necessary together. This eventually led to the divorce of the two after 10 years of marriage.
The source further claimed that the divorce is just phase 1 for the original Bennifer's plans to get back together. The source said that everyone is babbling about the return of Bennifer 1.0, tagging them as the Richard Burton-Elizabeth Taylor of Hollywood.
However, The Hollywood Gossip doesn't see what the Sun's source saw as J. Lo is already in a serious relationship with Casper Smart, and the two are set to get married this December, according to Daily Mail UK back in April.
This is further backed up by US Weekly as they reported that J. Lo has nothing to do with the break-up.
The magazine's source claimed that J. Lo has nothing to do with the divorce, calling it a lie and a really uncalled-for rumor. Even though J. Lo has stated in the past that Affleck was her biggest heartbreak, things have changed now and all parties have moved on. Well, at least those who are really involved, apparently not the rumor makers.
The source told the magazine that Garner and Affleck have been together for a long time and they have just realized that the divorce is what's best for them and their family.
