Quick update on all things Ben & Jen & Jen.
Ben Affleck has been leaning on his ex-wife Jennifer Garner during his split from his other ex-wife Jennifer Lopez, and apparently he and the 13 Going on 30 star are thinking of spending Christmas together. Which makes sense considering they're still super close and were even spotted hanging out together on Thanksgiving!
“Jen and Ben typically split their time with the kids over the holidays but Jen offered to spend Christmas all together with Ben if he would like," a source tells Page Six. “Christmas is one of Jen’s favorite holidays and she would love for the family to be together as often as possible for these occasions. Jen and Ben have a really friendly co-parenting relationship and she knows the kids had a wonderful time being together with both parents on Thanksgiving.”
Another source tells the outlet that Jen was supportive during Ben and J.Lo's split, saying “When things started getting rocky between Ben and Jennifer [Lopez], Jen was very supportive of their relationship and encouraged Ben to work on their marriage." She "had even become friendly with Jennifer and they were communicating on a regular basis.”
Nowadays Jennifer “hasn’t been in touch” with J.Lo, but has "no problem" with her and “at the end of the day, she just wants Ben to be happy.”
Oh, and before you start writing fan-fic about a Bennifer 1.0 reunion, a reminder that Jennifer Garner is in a fully committed relationship.
