After years of silence, Jennifer Garner is finally opening up about her past with ex-husband Ben Affleck.
Since their split, Garner has largely kept her thoughts to herself, but recent developments seem to have prompted a change.
With the spotlight back on Affleck due to his rekindled romance with Jennifer Lopez, Garner’s perspective is now coming to light.
The public has been buzzing about Affleck and Lopez ever since they reignited their relationship.
The singer recently released a documentary, “The Greatest Love Story Ever Told,” where both she and Affleck spoke candidly about their marriage.
Amidst all this, Garner feels that few truly understand the complexities of her own experiences with Affleck.
An insider shared that she believes people are unaware of the struggles they faced or the lengths she went to protect him and their children.
Garner has reportedly confided in friends about the emotional challenges she endured during their marriage.
According to sources, Affleck’s struggles with addiction were more severe than most realize.
She recounted the turmoil of navigating his dark moments, including heated arguments and episodes of substance abuse.
It’s a tough pill to swallow, but Garner stood by Affleck as he sought help for his addictions multiple times over the years.
Despite the turbulence, Garner was a steadfast presence during Affleck’s battles, even driving him to rehab after he relapsed in 2018—just weeks before their divorce was finalized.
Though Affleck has been sober since reuniting with Lopez in 2021, Garner holds no grudges.
Instead, she reflects on her commitment to supporting him during his lowest points, acknowledging that Lopez has helped him become a better version of himself.
While it’s painful to revisit those memories, Garner has chosen not to harbor resentment.
In fact, she and Affleck appear to be co-parenting effectively, often seen together at family events with Lopez and her twins, Max and Emme, who are now 16.
Their shared focus on family seems to have fostered a positive dynamic among them.
Garner’s recent years have not been without their own challenges.
Reports suggest that she faced a secret health scare in 2021, although she has since recovered.
Additionally, she experienced the loss of her father, William John Gardner, who passed away this past Easter.
While losing an 85-year-old who lived a fulfilling life is a natural part of life, Garner expressed that grief can still catch you off guard.
In spite of these hurdles, insiders say that Garner is currently in a good place.
She has rekindled her romance with John Miller, an American businessman, with whom she has had an on-and-off relationship since 2018.
Garner has learned to navigate her love life away from the media frenzy that characterized her marriage to Affleck.
Interestingly, despite their past, Garner and Affleck have managed to maintain a respectful relationship.
Sources indicate that she and Lopez have come to appreciate one another, realizing that their primary concern is the well-being of the children.
Garner has reportedly discovered that Lopez is not as overbearing as she once thought, leading to a more amicable relationship.
