Jennifer Garner may be one of Hollywood’s busiest women. However, it’s not all because she’s occupied with career responsibilities. The actress is said to be running herself ragged with family matters and other stressors such as her volunteering schedule. To make matters worse, Garner’s reported heavy involvement with her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, and the drama surrounding his life and recent divorce from Jennifer Lopez, is allegedly another reason for her loved ones to be concerned.
According to The Daily Mail, Jennifer Garner is worn out and needs to “relax” after months of putting nearly everyone’s needs ahead of her own. Sources tell the outlet that the Alias alum has been so busy raising her three children, Violet, Fin, and Samuel. She’s also been a rock for her community throughout the recent LA wildfires. Of course, she’s also been a major source of support for Ben Affleck as he’s navigated his divorce from his second wife, Jennifer Lopez.
“Jen has been dedicating every waking hour to helping her friends who have lost everything in the fires,” an insider dished. “She is helping her church, and she has been going non-stop. She needs to take some time to relax but that is not how Jen is – not when she is passionate about something.”
Thankfully, now that Affleck and Lopez have settled their divorce, Garner no longer has to play mediator. That has reportedly been a great relief to the actress, who has stuck closely by her ex-husband’s side through thick and thin.
Of course, fans have a lot of opinions about Affleck and Garner’s close bond. Many believe that the actress should emotionally cut ties with the father of her three children. However, that doesn’t seem to be in the cards for now.
Jennifer Garner Sparks Health Concerns After Dealing With Ben Affleck Drama
“She needs to stop with the savior complex,” one person commented.
“Ben needs to man up and sort his own life out. It shouldn’t require 24/7 help from his ex,” another agreed.
“She is not responsible for keeping [her ex] husband sober and happy. It is not her problem, period,” a third person wrote.
Jennifer Garner has often been a pillar of strength for Ben Affleck. In addition to helping him through his split with JLo, the star was also there for him during his struggle with alcohol abuse. Sources claim that the Batman star looks at his former wife like she’s “superwoman,” and that there’s “nothing in the world that he would not do for her.”
Ben is allegedly “not super concerned” for Jen right now. He knows that she has a lot on her plate, but that she can juggle it. However, if he ever does think that she’s nearing burnout, he’ll be ready to pounce and “make sure she is ok.”
Meanwhile, Garner also has her longtime boyfriend, John Miller, to lean on. While the couple may not be as public with their relationship as other celebrities tend to be, behind closed doors he’s likely there to offer love and support.
Jennifer Garner might be a famous Hollywood star. However, she’s also become very relatable to her fans. As a working woman, mother, partner, and daughter, she’s truly someone that many look up to, especially her loved ones.
