Jennifer Garner Distances from Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Garner has reportedly decided to limit her communication with Jennifer Lopez to matters concerning her children with Ben Affleck, following Lopez's divorce filing from Affleck. Garner, who was previously married to Affleck, felt she was used as a 'pawn' in attempting to mediate the couple's marriage issues, which took a toll on her. Friends of Garner believe she should not have been so involved, especially given her past experiences of being compared to Lopez during her marriage to Affleck. Garner's daughter, Violet, maintains a relationship with Lopez, which Garner finds odd, but she remains amiable and loyal to her children's father. Despite the complexities, Garner has decided to distance herself from Lopez, focusing solely on her children's welfare. Sources indicate that Garner's involvement as a 'marriage counselor' was well-intentioned but ultimately burdensome.
