“Jen was extremely tolerant and always found a way to bite her tongue and be cordial to J. Lo whenever they were in the same room,” an insider claimed to Life & Style. “But truth be told they’re like oil and water, you couldn’t find two people more different.”

Apparently, Garner never had much faith that Affleck and Lopez’s marriage would work out, something she’s publicly publicized privately.

“It was no secret she didn’t think he and J. Lo were a good match,” the insider explained. “Like most people, she knew it was only going to end in tears, it was just a matter of when and how. She’s trying to be diplomatic about it, she doesn’t want anyone, least of all the kids, to be aware that there’s any lingering bad blood between her and J. Lo.”

Furthermore, the source described Garner as “relieved” to see her ex-husband taking steps to end his current marriage.

Garner and Affleck finalized their own divorce in 2018, after marrying in 2005 and welcoming three children together. After ending her original engagement to Affleck, Lopez married her long-time friend Marc Anthony, with whom she shares teenage twins.
