You’re on your own, Ben.
Ben Affleck has reportedly been leaning on ex-wife Jennifer Garner for support amid his rumored marital issues with Jennifer Lopez, but sources say the “Alias” actress is “done” helping her former spouse.
“Jen eventually got to a place where she was like, ‘Sorry, figure this out yourself,'” an insider told the Daily Mail on Tuesday.

“It was beginning to become too painful for her because it was bringing back so many memories of their divorce,” they added.
The former couple got together after Affleck and Lopez, 54, broke off their engagement in the early 2000s. Years after Affleck and Garner’s divorce, the “Justice League” actor reconciled with Lopez and they tied the knot in 2022.

The Daily Mail source said that Garner “felt like she was second” to Lopez when she was married to Affleck “even though there was no communication” between the former couple.
“She was surprised at how public he became when they reunited because he was always a man who wanted to be out of the spotlight when they were married,” the insider continued.

They also claimed that Garner was extremely welcoming to the “Let’s Get Loud” singer.
“Jen opened up her home and her life to J.Lo because she had moved on from the past. She cares about J.Lo and cares about their kids and how it will affect all of them,” said the source.
They added: “But in the end, it is not Jen’s circus, not Jen’s monkeys and she is done playing marriage counselor to her ex-husband and his wife.”

InTouch reported that the pair were in therapy to work on their marital issues.
“Ben believes in therapy, to a point, and is willing to be a good sport about participating with an open mind, even though he hates the whole humiliating process,” a source told the outlet.
