Jennifer Garner reaches out to Jennifer Lopez about her kids. Jennifer Lopez reaches out to Jennifer Garner about her kids. They're friends," the inside said. "They have really found a great female support system and communicate."
We're always pitting women against women. In this case, it's just not the truth."
Lopez and Affleck also remain close, with a source telling The Sun in January 2026 that the actor is still struggling with their divorce. "At this stage in his life, he feels the absence of a stable, long-term relationship very strongly — and that makes it hard for him to move on," the insider said. "He truly believes in that idea, and having it fall apart twice, with both Jennifers, has crushed him."

Heat World said about the two, "Keith and Jennifer actually have a huge amount in common," a mutual friend said. "They got along so well when they worked together and really developed a great friendship, so – of course – when the news broke out about Keith's divorce, Jen reached out to offer her support. They've been in touch ever since."
"At this point, it's still very much in the friend zone, but it's no secret Keith thinks that Jen is absolutely drop-dead gorgeous," the source shared. "The problem is he doesn't seem to have the guts to make the first move. Whenever his friends tell him he should ask her out, he comes up with excuses."
The insider continued, "Ben is deeply romantic — someone who gives 110 percent in a relationship. When it fails, he takes it as a personal failure, and that's something he's still struggling to move past."
