In the latest chapter of Hollywood drama, tensions have reportedly escalated between Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez over a strict parenting rule Garner had in place for her children with ex-husband Ben Affleck. Garner, known for her hands-on and disciplined parenting style, is said to be furious with Lopez for allegedly allowing Affleck to break one of her most important rules when it comes to co-parenting their children.
Sources close to the situation reveal that Garner has always been adamant about maintaining a stable and consistent environment for their three children: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. One of Garner’s strictest rules is reportedly limiting screen time and ensuring that family meals are technology-free, which is something she has enforced throughout their upbringing.
According to an insider, this tension began when Affleck, now married to Lopez, allegedly disregarded this rule during family time with Lopez and the children. The insider stated, “Jennifer [Garner] takes parenting very seriously, and she expects that the boundaries she has set for the kids will be respected, even when they’re with Ben and J.Lo. She feels like this is about keeping a sense of normalcy for the kids.”
Although neither Lopez nor Affleck has commented publicly on the matter, sources suggest that Garner feels Lopez should have upheld the rule, especially when it comes to something as important as raising their children. One source added, “Jennifer doesn’t want to create drama, but she’s protective of the kids, and this situation has caused some frustration.”
Fans of both actresses have been buzzing on social media, with many sympathizing with Garner’s position as a dedicated mother, while others argue that Lopez is navigating the challenges of blended family life as best she can. Despite the rumors, both Garner and Lopez have shown themselves to be dedicated parents in the public eye.
As tensions reportedly rise, it remains to be seen how this parenting disagreement will play out. Will Garner and Lopez be able to find common ground when it comes to co-parenting, or will this add further strain to their high-profile blended family dynamic? Only time will tell.
