Jennifer Garner is staying away from Jennifer Lopez amid her divorce from Ben Affleck.
"She tried not to take sides,” a source told Star. “Jen urged them to seek counseling and try harder to fix things."
But, "Jen began to notice things about J.Lo’s behavior that turned her off. She was dragged into Ben and J.Lo’s problems,” the insider explained.
“It’s not what she wanted, but J.Lo appealed to her gentle nature, and Jen’s such a nice person that she couldn’t say no,” they added.
"It was an uncomfortable position to be in," the source said. "She felt like she was being manipulated."
"Jen just thinks it’s better if she keeps her distance from J.Lo during the divorce,” the insider dished. "She wants to stay out of Ben and J.Lo’s personal business from now on.
The tipster noted that while the 13 Going on 30 star initially told her kids they could maintain a bond with Lopez, she later changed her mind.
"He’s got his own place but he’s still at her house all the time for family dinners and she never fails to send him home with a care package of food,” another tipster said of Affleck.
“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,” they said of Jennifer Garner’s care for ex-husband Ben Affleck.
