It seems Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s goals-worthy blended family relationship with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner has allegedly come to a screeching halt. After those pics came out, lots of contradictory reports have come out about the aftermath, but insiders are now claiming it’s even messier than fans initially thought.

Insiders told OK that “the jealousy J.Lo feels over their deep connection is intense,” and because of this, the True Love author has asked for him to make adjustments. “J.Lo rages when she gets jealous or feels threatened, and Ben has been on the receiving end of her wrath,” they said. “J.Lo has demanded that Ben spend less time with Jen and focus more on her instead.”

In fact, the insider alleged that during the height of their reported argument, Lopez screamed at the Good Will Hunting co-writer,”‘She’s your ex-wife for a reason!'”

And apparently, she made her feelings known to Garner right away. “Rumor has it that J. Lo and Jen exchanged texts about Jen’s closeness to Ben, and things got heated,” the source spilled. “Jen even canceled some of their planned get-togethers as a blended family because of the tension between them.”

For those that don’t know, Lopez and Affleck were together from 2002 to 2004 after meeting on the set of Gigli. A few years after they called off their engagement, Affleck tied the knot with Garner in 2005 and welcomed three children named Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11.

They broke up in 2015, and the divorce was finalized in 2018, but they remained great friends throughout it all.

Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance in 2021, and wed a year later. Lopez previously welcomed their twins with ex-husband Marc Anthony in 2008 named Maximilian and Emme, 15.
