Hollywood is buzzing after paparazzi snapped Ben Affleck sharing a warm hug with ex-wife Jennifer Garner outside a Los Angeles café this week. But while fans rushed to speculate about the “Bennifer 2.0” drama, insiders reveal Jennifer Lopez is chilling at home—completely unbothered. Here’s why.
“Zero Drama, Just Co-Parenting Goals”
Sources close to Lopez confirm the singer-actress isn’t sweating the friendly moment between Affleck and Garner. “Jen knows Ben and Jennifer’s relationship is strictly about their kids,” says a pal. “They’ve always kept things respectful, and J.Lo supports that.” The exes, who share three children, have long been praised for their amicable co-parenting, even after Affleck rekindled his romance with Lopez in 2021.
J.Lo’s Secret? Confidence & Killer Priorities
While the internet spiraled over the photos, Lopez reportedly shrugged it off. Why? Insiders say she’s laser-focused on her own empire—finishing her new album, prepping tours, and crushing film projects. “She’s not the type to stress over old news,” adds the source. “Her marriage to Ben is solid, and she’s living her best life.”
Fans also note that Garner and Lopez have never been rivals. In fact, the Shotgun Wedding star once called Garner “an amazing co-parent” in interviews. “They’re all grown-ups here,” tweeted one fan. “This is how blended families should work.”
Affleck’s Blunt Take on the “Uncomfortable” Spotlight
Meanwhile, Affleck recently admitted on SiriusXM that paparazzi moments “get awkward,” but he stays grounded for his kids. “Family comes first, no matter what,” he said. Garner, too, has stayed mum on the buzz, recently posting about her farm life—proving everyone’s moved on but the gossip blogs.
The Big Picture
At the end of the day, Lopez’s chill response reminds us that healthy relationships—exes included—don’t need drama. “People forget these three have known each other for decades,” says a Hollywood insider. “They’ve got bigger things to worry about than a hug.”
So, while the tabloids keep milking the “feud” narrative, J.Lo’s already onto her next big thing. Cue “Let’s Get Loud”
