In a surprising turn of events, Gwyneth Paltrow has reached out to Ben Affleck, extending her support as he navigates his impending divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
The actress has even offered to step into the role of an “uncoupling therapist,” showcasing her genuine concern for her long-time friend during this challenging period.
According to sources close to the situation, Paltrow has made it clear to Affleck that she’s willing to help him through this emotional turmoil.
Their friendship dates back to 1997 when they first crossed paths at a dinner party.
Their chemistry blossomed into a romance, leading them to star together in films like “Shakespeare in Love” and “Bounce.”
After their relationship ended, Gwyneth married Chris Martin of Coldplay, with whom she shares two children.
The couple famously announced their “conscious uncoupling” in 2014, a term that has since become synonymous with amicable separations.
An insider revealed to In Touch that Paltrow has been closely monitoring Affleck’s situation and believes she can offer valuable insights drawn from her own experiences.
While she frequently receives requests for guidance, she is selective about who she chooses to assist.
Ben, however, holds a special place in her heart; they’ve been friends for nearly three decades, and it pains her to see him in distress.
Gwyneth’s unique position allows her to act as a neutral party between Affleck and Lopez.
She understands the complexities of relationships and acknowledges that no one is perfect, including Ben.
With this perspective, she feels equipped to help him navigate the rocky waters ahead.
Whether it’s mending fences or preparing for a split, Paltrow is ready to lend her expertise.
The history between Lopez and Affleck is quite dramatic.
They were initially set to tie the knot in 2003, but just days before the ceremony, they called it off, eventually parting ways in January 2004.
Fast forward to 2021, and the former couple rekindled their romance after Jennifer’s breakup with Alex Rodriguez.
