As rumours swirl that Ben Affleck will be working again with his ex wife Jennifer Garner, his new wife Jennifer Lopez is fuming<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-2001188435-e1708531979516.jpg” title_text=”TOPSHOT-US-ENTERTAINMENT-STREAMING-AMAZON” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
J.Lo is said to be raging that husband Ben Affleck is collaborating with ex wife Jennifer Garner on his next movie project<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
They have maintained a close relationship, co-parenting their three children since their 2015 split, and now Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner will be spending even more time together as the pair are set to work alongside each other on Ben\u2019s latest movie project.
But news of their collaboration has rocked Ben\u2019s wife of 18 months, Jennifer Lopez, with an insider saying it feels like a \u2018slap in the face\u2019 to the Latino singer.
The source says that J Lo, 54, has come to terms with the fact Ben, 51, and his ex – who share parent duty of their three children Violet Anne, 18, Seraphina Rose, 15, and Samuel, 11 – will always have a connection, but she\u2019s jealous of the close bond they will form again and she\u2019s going to make Ben fully aware of her feelings on the matter.
\u201cJ Lo has totally accepted that Ben and Jen are going to be part of each other’s lives as co-parents and friendly exes, but the idea of him directing her in a movie is way more than she can handle,\u201d they say.
They add, \u201cFor one thing it means that they\u2019ll be spending a whole lot more time together and bonding on a totally different level, of course that makes her uneasy. She\u2019s very territorial when it comes to Ben, it\u2019s one thing for him to be doing things with Jen and the kids but choosing to work with her on top of all that is more than J.Lo can stand.
\u201cNot to mention she wants to be the one working with Ben, she wants him directing her in a movie and he\u2019s been very resistant to them teaming up so it\u2019s a huge slap in the face that he\u2019d be doing this with Jen.
\u201cJ.Lo can\u2019t help but wonder if Ben\u2019s doing this on purpose to make her feel excluded and she\u2019s now plotting her revenge to give him a taste of his own medicine. She\u2019s going to find a way to make him equally jealous, make no mistake about that.\u201d<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-1179225505-1.jpg” title_text=”Celebrity Sightings In Los Angeles – October 31, 2019″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Ben and his ex wife Jennifer have maintained a close relationship since their separation in 2015<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Last week, it was reported Jennifer, 51,\u00a0is in negotiations to star opposite\u00a0Matt Damon\u00a0in Netflix crime thriller\u00a0Animals, which Ben is directing. Ben is also set to produce the film with Matt, along with the company\u2019s Dani Bernfeld. If all goes to plan, filming for the thriller could kick off in March in Los Angeles.\u00a0
The film will focus on a politician and his wife – played by Matt and Jennifer – whose son is kidnapped.
Previously, Jennifer and Ben starred in Pearl Harbour in 2001, Daredevil two years later in 2003 and Elektra in 2005, the year they got married. They enjoyed a 10-year marriage, before cracks started to appear. Shortly after the pair attended weekly marriage counselling sessions in LA, they announced their split in 2015. Ben then attended rehab for the second time for alcohol addiction – his first stint being in 2001 – and praised his ex for her support during this tough time.\u00a0
\u201cI\u2019m lucky to have the love of my family and friends, including my co-parent, Jen, who has supported me and cared for our kids as I’ve done the work I set out to do. This was the first of many steps being taken towards a positive recovery,\u201d he wrote in a statement on Facebook.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-1603111855-1.jpg” title_text=”Ben Affleck Seen In Istanbul” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Doting dad Ben – who shares three children with Jennifer – has previously described his split from Jennifer as his \u201cbiggest regret\u201d<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
In 2018, Ben checked himself into rehab for the third time and Jennifer was spotted driving him to the treatment facility. Throughout all of this, the pair continued to live at their Pacific Palisades mansion, with Ben staying at the guest house until the former couple sold it in 2019.
A year later, Ben reflected on his road to sobriety and public divorce from Jennifer, calling it \u201cthe biggest regret\u201d of his life. But he said they will always be a part of each other\u2019s lives.
\u201cWhen you have children with somebody you’re connected to them forever,\u201d he revealed.\u00a0
“And I’m very lucky she is the mother of my children. I’m very\u00a0grateful and respectful of her. Our marriage didn’t work, and that’s difficult. Both of us really believe that it’s important for kids to see their parents respect one another and get along, whether they’re together or not.”
The insider says Ben has assured his latest wife – J Lo – who he married in July 2022, almost 20 years after their first engagement ended – that there is nothing to worry about in terms of working closely with his ex again.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-75925434.jpg” title_text=”Private screening of %22Daredevil%22″ force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”3px|8px|3px|8px|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Before getting married in 2005, Ben and Jennifer starred in three films together including Daredevil\u00a0<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
\u201cBen swears J.Lo has nothing to worry about and insists this is strictly a professional decision that\u2019s being made by a whole group of people, not just him. He says it comes down to her being right for this part and has nothing to do with any sort of desire he\u2019s harbouring to spend more time with her.\u00a0
\u201cThe fact is she would be a great addition to this cast, she fits the part well and she brings the star power that investors want to see. Ben has always respected Jen\u2019s acting ability, they\u2019ve always been huge champions of each other\u2019s careers and he doesn\u2019t see why that needs to change. He\u2019s adamant that any sort of romantic feelings between them died years ago, all they ever talk about these days are their kids or their work.\u201d
They add that Ben feels J.Lo – who\u2019s mum to 15-year-old twins Emma and Max with ex Marc Anthony – should feel secure enough in their relationship to understand that she\u2019s the woman he wants to come home to.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/02\/GettyImages-1775894611-1.jpg” title_text=”2023 LACMA Art+Film Gala, Presented By Gucci – Inside” force_fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-gallery-caption” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|600|||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” background_color=”#111111″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”-2.75%||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px|8px|4px|8px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
Ben and J. Lo – who is said to have taken news that Ben is working with Jennifer as a \u2018slap in the face\u2019\u00a0\u00a0got hitched in 2022, 20 years after they split up<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
\u201cShe\u2019s the one he has on a pedestal, not his ex-wife, so doing this project shouldn\u2019t be the least bit threatening to her. He really doesn\u2019t understand the issue that J.Lo has with it because she has seen him and Jen together plenty of times, the fact that they have zero chemistry should be obvious. But J.Lo is still very triggered by this, she feels like it\u2019s so over the line.\u00a0
\u201cShe\u2019s been nothing but supportive of them maintaining a solid co-parenting relationship, or so she says, so it really bugs her that this is how she\u2019s being rewarded for her maturity. And it\u2019s not just how it makes her feel, it\u2019s also how it looks. She\u2019s already gotten so many people asking her about it and asking her if she\u2019s really okay with it.\u00a0
\u201cShe has to play it off like it\u2019s totally fine with her because she\u2019s not going to give anyone the satisfaction of seeing her weakness but it\u2019s downright humiliating. She can\u2019t help but feel like he is doing this to test her, because she just can\u2019t wrap her head around why else he’d do this. She knows full well that he wouldn\u2019t be okay if she suddenly wanted to work with Marc Anthony or any one of her exes. She\u2019s furious about this and giving Ben a very hard time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Aboreto|||on|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]
