Jennifer Garner does not want to read about her ex in the press, and who can blame her, really?
The actress has shared how ‘hard’ she works to avoid reading stories about Ben Affleck, as it doesn’t make her ‘feel good’.
The pair were married from 2005 until 2018 and have remained on friendly terms as they co-parent three children: Violet, 17, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 11.
Ben, 50, is now married to Jennifer Lopez, 53, after they rekindled their romance, 20 years after first getting together.
And while 13 Going On 30 star Jennifer has no issues with her ex’s new marriage, she prefers not to see it all played out online.
‘I really work hard not to see either of us in the press,’ the 50-year-old told Stellar Magazine.
‘It doesn’t make me feel good, even if it’s something nice about one of us.
‘I just try to forget that I’m out there in any way, and the same with anyone I love.’
She added: ‘I don’t need to see anyone in my family made into a meme.’
When asked if she had seen any of the memes about the father of her children (Ben made waves on the internet recently with his Grammys expressions), she said she had not.
Jennifer added jokingly: ‘Although, I’m sure he’s quite meme-worthy, yes!’
The Alias star is now in a relationship with her businessman boyfriend John Miller and has been since 2018.
Speaking ahead of Ben’s wedding to JLo in 2022, Jennifer said she was ‘happy’ for the pair.
A source claimed that Ben informed his ex-wife of his forthcoming nuptials before their engagement was made public.
‘Ben told Jen and the kids, so they knew about it. Jen is happy for Ben. And knows that JLo has been a positive influence in certain ways,’ the insider said.
However, things haven’t been totally rosy between Ben and ex Jennifer over recent years, as the Gone Girl actor sparked controversy when he explained that he began drinking when their relationship crumbled.
Many interpreted his comments as Ben attributing his alcoholism to Jennifer.
Sources then alleged his new wife JLo wasn’t happy about the remarks and ‘didn’t want to be dragged into’ any drama.
The insider initially told Page Six: ‘She has met Jennifer Garner. She is trying to get to know her and Ben’s kids. It’s reckless and cavalier of him.’
However, the On The Floor songstress later slammed the claims and told People: ‘This story is simply not true. It is not how I feel. I couldn’t have more respect for Ben as a father, a co-parent, and a person.’
Honestly, we kinda understand why Jennifer doesn’t want to read anything…
