Amid buzz of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s marital problems, the “Argo” actor’s ex wife, Jennifer Garner, is rooting for the couple to stay together in light of his past struggles with substance abuse.

“We all know that if Ben falls off the wagon, Jennifer [Garner] will have to pick up the pieces — she always does,” a source told Paula Froelich of NewsNation.

However, despite Garner’s support, the “Jenny from the Block” singer isn’t a fan of her hubby’s ex.

“Lopez is not particularly fond of Garner — and the two, while distantly friendly, do not speak,” Froelich previously reported.

The “13 Going on 30” actress, who was married to Affleck, 51, from 2005 to 2018 and shares three children — Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 — with him, is “encouraging Ben to work on his marriage to Jen,” and “fully supports their relationship and wants nothing more than for him to be happy,” a source told Us Weekly last week.

Garner, 52, is focusing on the well-being of Affleck, who was in rehab multiple times, and their kids.

“She wants him happy and healthy so he can be the best dad possible,” a source told People this week.
