<p id=”par-2_57″>According to sources, Jennifer Garner has helped Ben Affleck through 2024. After two years of marriage, Jennifer Lopez served Affleck divorce papers in August 2024. Before the couple’s official split, Affleck was spotted heading to Garner’s house for support. Insiders alleged that Garner gave marital advice to Affleck and helped him sort through his issues with Lopez.</p>
<p id=”par-3_44″>Now that Affleck is single, Garner allegedly worries that Affleck doesn’t care for his health. A source told <a href=”https://www.intouchweekly.com/posts/ben-affleck-leans-on-jennifer-garner-amid-j-lo-divorce/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>In Touch Weekly</a> that Garner regularly feeds her ex-husband as he arrives for family dinners. She even sends him “home with a care package of food.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_49″>“She’s very concerned about his health, to the point where she reminds him when he needs to see the doctor and the dentist and even sends him vitamins to take because she’s convinced he doesn’t get enough healthy food when she’s not cooking for him,” the source explained. </p>
<p id=”par-5_56″>Affleck allegedly “loves being looked after” by his ex. “He goes to her whenever he has a big career or life decision to make for her advice,” the insider continued, adding that this isn’t “new” behavior from the movie star. Now that Affleck is single, he allegedly tries to talk to Garner “10 times a day.”</p>
