Jennifer Garner showed off her toned figure this week while stepping out in Los Angeles.
The 52-year-old actress, who is reportedly “fed up” with helping her ex Ben Affleck and his wife Jennifer Lopez through their marital problems, wore black leggings while running errands in Santa Monica.
The mother of three wore a navy blue crew-neck, short-sleeved shirt in a sporty look, which she complemented with white sneakers.
Her springy brown locks were pulled back into a ponytail and she wore round, black-framed sunglasses.
This comes amid rumors that Affleck, 51, and Lopez, 54, have been “over” for months.
Jennifer Garner showed off her toned figure this week while stepping out in Los Angeles.
The 54-year-old actress wore black leggings while running errands in Santa Monica.
Garner was seen going to buy coffee, sporting a black watch and wearing black headphones.
Missing from the scene are the three children she shares with Affleck: Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12.
The former Alias actress made a conscious decision to step away from the “circus” surrounding her ex-husband’s marriage to Lopez, according to insiders who claim the current situation has unearthed “painful” memories for the actress.
Garner and Affleck have been photographed together in recent weeks amid ongoing speculation that their two-year marriage is on “shaky ground.”
Close sources had previously revealed that she had been acting as a “counselor” to the couple, desperately trying to help them sort out their alleged problems.
Sources now say the Elektra star has decided to retire altogether.
“Jen finally got to a point where she said, ‘I’m sorry, you deal with this yourself,'” a source told DailyMail.com.
“It was starting to get too painful for her because it brought back so many memories of her divorce,” the person added.
The mother of three wore a navy blue crew-neck, short-sleeved shirt with her sporty look, completing it with white sneakers.

Affleck and Garner were married from 2005 until their divorce was finalized in 2018.
“There were times throughout their marriage where Jen felt like she was second to JLo, even though there was no communication between her and Ben for years,” the source explained.
‘She was surprised at how public he became when they reunited because he was always a man who wanted to stay out of the spotlight when they were married.
‘Jen opened the doors of her home and her life to JLo because she had put the past behind her. She cares about JLo and her children and how it will affect them all.
“But in the end, it’s not Jen’s circus, it’s not Jen’s monkeys and she will no longer be a marriage counselor for her ex-husband and his wife,” it said.
DailyMail.com previously revealed that Garner, 52, was acting as a “counselor” to her ex Ben Affleck and Lopez as she desperately tried to help them sort out their alleged issues – with Jennifer and Ben pictured in June.
Garner’s withdrawal comes after DailyMail.com revealed that her rumored fiancé, businessman John Miller, 46, was fed up with how involved she was in trying to “fix” Affleck’s marriage.
“John wants nothing more than for Ben to be okay, but it’s not his girlfriend’s responsibility to babysit him,” a person familiar with the situation said.
“That’s something Ben has to figure out on his own and his wife has to handle. It’s not Jen’s responsibility and he’s told her that.”
Lopez recently returned to the United States after a trip to Italy, where she was photographed spending time with close friends during a day on a boat in Positano.
