Garner ‘no longer wishes’ to maintain contact with JLo 

An insider told the media outlet, “Jen no longer wishes to have communication with JLo unless it is do with the kids. Her friends feel she shouldn’t have allowed herself to get so involved in helping JLo to fix her marriage to Ben. Especially considering Jen felt pitted against JLo at times during their own marriage. Jen is too nice and truly wanted to help, so she tried.”

Earlier in August, another source revealed to the news outlet that the 13 going 30 actor felt “slightly used as a pawn in J.Lo’s bid to repair her marriage” adding that she did not think it was “intentional”. 

The source added, “She was put in the middle and her friends think—no matter how you look at it—a man’s ex-wife should never have to play mediator in a divorce from his new wife. Especially when said wife was a big love who Jen was compared to throughout their 13-year marriage. She is happy that Ben is now happy.”

It was also reported that Garner’s boyfriend, John Miller also felt that she was too involved in Lopez and Affleck’s divorce and should not be “the one to fix her ex-husband’s issues with his current wife.”
