ennifer Garner’s boyfriend isn’t a fan of how close she has grown to her ex-husband Ben Affleck!
As we previously reported, a source told Page Six that the former couple are “spending more time together” and “are closer than they’ve ever been since their divorce” — particularly because of “Ben’s divorce from Jennifer [Lopez] and with the LA fires and everything going on.” We’ve heard a lot about how Garner has been there for the Good Will Hunting actor over the past year, even acting as a “marriage counselor” for him and J.Lo at one point. He also spent the holidays with her AND went to her house amid the devastating wildfires. They’ve really leaned on each other lately!
However, her involvement in Ben’s life has caused some problems in her relationship with John Miller! You see, he didn’t like that she was “hyper-focused on her ex-husband” and his divorce drama. And his aggravation has only gotten worse as Ben and Jen spend more and more time together!
According to a source for Page Six on Friday, John “knows Ben and Jen have been leaning on each other more than ever lately and have a really close relationship” — and he “isn’t thrilled” about it! In fact, the Cali Group founder supposedly feels their “bond” is becoming too much:
“Their growing bond is getting to be a bit much when Ben spends all the holidays with them like Christmas and Thanksgiving. John feels like a third wheel.”
The source claimed Jennifer and Ben now “text, call, and communicate far more than they have over the past several years” and not only about their children, Violet, Fin, and Samuel! Apparently, John thinks it goes way beyond co-parenting! Whoa! Is he actually worried something more scandalous is going on? That they could get back together? Per the source, no! He doesn’t think they’d ever reconcile romantically! However, John reportedly cannot help but feel “jealous” of what’s going on:
“It used to be solely about the kids, but John feels like it could be more than just about their coparenting relationship. He doesn’t feel threatened in terms of Jen ever getting back with Ben, but at the same time it’s hard not to feel jealous when it’s clear they have a strong connection and friendship.”
We get it. It is sometimes hard not to question or get into your own head when seeing your partner have a strong bond with an ex. It’s rare for a divorced couple to be as close as Ben and Jennifer! However, John may want to get over his jealousy because those two will be in each other’s lives no matter what! They have three kids and choose to have a very amicable relationship so that they can all enjoy family time and holidays together without any drama! They worked hard to build that dynamic, and it’s not going to change anytime soon. Accept it now before it ruins your relationship with Garner!
