Garner and Lopez have been in regular contact amid Lopez’s marital problems with Affleck, a source told DailyMail.com last month.
Lopez “has been confiding in Jen because he knows she is one of the only people in the world who would understand what he is going through,” a source told DailyMail.com.
The source noted that Garner, who was married to Affleck from 2005 until announcing their separation in 2015, “has been through it with the same man.”
The source said that “although the circumstances were quite different” in Affleck’s split from Garner, he “is still the same man and they both dealt with some of the same issues.”
Garner, who is having an affair with businessman John Miller, “really cares about” Lopez and wants to try to help them save their relationship for the sake of Affleck and the entire family.
“Jen doesn’t want Ben to call off this marriage,” the source said. ‘She went to her house to talk to him about this and try to keep the two of them together.
Jen told Lopez several times “how valued she is in all of their lives,” the source noted, adding, “She is one of the only women who can communicate with Ben and stop him from jumping into the abyss with his addiction.” .’

The celebrity couple appeared to be in good spirits amid recent reports of marital strife.
The top actor and director had a basketball in his hand, four years after playing a basketball coach in 2020’s The Way Back.
A “frustrated” Affleck is on the run “because he has no escape from his problems,” which fits with his past decisions, the source said.
“The biggest fear right now is that he will start drinking again and part of the reason Jen has been keeping an eye on him is to make sure this doesn’t happen,” the source added.
Garner shared the screen with her ex-husband in 2003’s Daredevil, which hit theaters six months before Affleck and Lopez’s box office bomb Gigli was released.
