Jennifer Garner is enjoying a remarkable year, drawing attention and admiration as her career flourishes, a situation that is reportedly causing tension with Jennifer Lopez amid her own challenges. A source shared insights with Globe, indicating that Garner’s accomplishments can be particularly hard for Lopez to overlook.
Garner is set to premiere the second season of her acclaimed Apple TV+ series, The Last Thing He Told Me, on February 20. Additionally, her organic children’s food company, Once Upon a Farm, is preparing to go public with a projected valuation of around $764 million. The success of these ventures could potentially lead Garner towards billionaire status, a prospect that Lopez reportedly finds difficult to digest, especially since she has yet to reach that milestone despite her numerous business endeavors.
Lopez, who recently canceled her 2024 This Is Me … Live tour due to disappointing ticket sales, has seen her latest film, Kiss of the Spider Woman, underperform at the box office. Compounding the strain, the two actresses share a significant connection through their mutual ex-husband, Ben Affleck.
The source divulged that Lopez’s feelings may stem from Affleck’s ongoing amicable relationship with Garner after their split in 2015. They continue to co-parent their three children—Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 13—creating a coexistent dynamic that seems to affect Lopez. Affleck had previously referred to his divorce from Garner as “the biggest regret” of his life, further intensifying the emotional complexities surrounding this triangle.
As Garner continues to thrive in her career, it remains to be seen how this juxtaposition affects Lopez. However, it is clear that the spotlight on Garner is significant, and her success seems to resonate deeply within the industry, reminding many of the remarkable talents she brings to the table.
