Jennifer Garner, who was married to Ben Affleck from 2005 to 2018, reportedly believes that he should “grow up” and be “nicer” to his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, as they navigate their divorce.
Sources suggest that Garner, who is said to have significant influence over Ben, feels compelled to intervene when it comes to his behavior, particularly toward Lopez.
Though Ben and J.Lo’s two-year marriage officially ended this month, their divorce won’t be finalized until February 20, a day marking six months since J.Lo filed for it.

In the meantime, they are working to maintain a civil relationship for the sake of their blended family. However, Ben is said to be frustrated with J.Lo’s attempts to stay involved in his life, while she continues to show kindness.

Garner, on the other hand, is reportedly impressed with Lopez’s commitment to his children, observing how she has remained a steady figure in their lives, even when Ben hasn’t extended the same effort toward J.Lo’s twins.
