Ben Affleck seeks relationship advice from ex-wife Jennifer Garner amid marriage drama with Jennifer Lopez

Amidst rampant speculation that his marriage with Jennifer Lopez is on the rocks, Ben Affleck has been seeking relationship advice from his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, an insider says.

Jennifer Garner encourages Ben Affleck to work on his marriage with Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Garner is encouraging her ex-husband Ben Affleck to “work on his marriage” with Jennifer Lopez, according to an insider.

51-year-old Ben’s relationship with 54-year-old J-Lo has come under increasing speculation over the past few weeks, with reports suggesting they are heading for divorce after just two years of marriage. The couple tied the knot at A Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas on July 16, 2022, and have been living together in their $60 million (£47 million) Beverley Hills marital mansion ever since.

However, last week reports broke that the Argo actor had moved out of their shared home and insiders claimed that J-Lo was looking for her own crib in LA. Ben has also been spotted several times not wearing his wedding ring.

Ben Affleck turns to Jennifer Garner for advice

Amidst the drama, Ben has apparently been seeking advice from an unlikely source: his ex-wife Jennifer. The former couple – who share three kids – were married for thirteen years before they went their separate ways in 2018, but have remained friends since.

According to an insider, Jennifer – who was photographed visiting Ben over the weekend – is keen to see her ex happy. Speaking to US Weekly, the insider said: “Jennifer Garner is encouraging Ben to work on his marriage to Jen.”

They continued: “She fully supports their relationship and wants nothing more than for him to be happy.” The source added that the 13 Going on 30 actress also knows all too well that fame “can put a strain” on relationships.

Divorce rumours intensify as Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez live separately

Jennifer’s comments come after sources say Ben has “come to his senses” about his failing relationship with the On the Floor songstress, and has finally realised they are heading for a divorce. Speaking to Page Six, they said: “He feels like the last two years was just a fever dream, and he’s come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work.”

Divorce rumours have intensified after reports that the couple have been living apart. According to TMZ, Ben has been crashing at a rental pad in Brentwood over the last few weeks.

J-Lo added fuel to the fire on Thursday when she liked a post on Instagram about unhealthy relationships and poor communication. The post explained how “you cannot build a healthy relationship with somebody” who “lacks integrity and emotional safety”.

Thomas Rhett and Reba McEntire: A Friendship Through the Years

Long before he garnered fame, Thomas Rhett garnered a relationship with Reba McEntire. Rhett became acquainted with the country legend through his dad, Rhett Atkins. Atkins secured his first-ever touring slot with the “I’m a Survivor” singer.

At the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards, Rhett talked about his relationship with Reba saying, “I’ve known Reba since I was five. My dad was a touring artist in the ’90s. My dad’s first tour ever was with Reba.”

In celebration of Rhett’s long-time fandom, and friendship with McEntire, check out highlights from their relationship, below.

Touring With His Dad and McEntire

As Rhett said in his ACM interview, he was first introduced to McEntire when his dad joined her on tour in the ’90s. In the interview, he recalls going to McEntire’s Halloween parties as a kid as a result of his dad’s collaboration with her–which was undoubtedly a core memory for Rhett.

“She has been the same kind-hearted, humble human being since 1994,” Rhett recalled in the ACM interview. “She is truly a legend and, in my opinion, the definition of a superstar.”

“Be a Light”

Flash-forward to 2020, Rhett tapped McEntire for an inspirational track titled “Be a Light.” The song was originally intended to be a unifying force amid the pandemic, but it remains a powerful message years later.

In a time full of war, be peace
In a time full of doubt, just believe
Yeah, there ain’t that much difference between you and me
In a time full of war, be peace

Rhett called the song a “full circle moment” for him, given his lasting friendship with McEntire. It’s not hard to see why McEntire would be enticed either. She has no shortage of inspirational songs and this one is a worthy addition to that list. Revisit the track, below.

Things remain messed up in The Boys universe, but at least Hughie Campbell and Annie January’s relationship is stable.

Speaking to Collider, Jack Quaid revealed what fans can expect to see from Hughie and his supes ex-Seven girlfriend in the fight against Vought International under Homelander’s control. “This season, they’re the closest they’ve ever been,” he said, contrasting it with the ups and downs of their romance across season 3 but acknowledging, “I think it needed to happen. When you go through moments like that and you survive them, you come out so much stronger. So, I think Annie and Hughie are stronger than they’ve ever been this season, which I love seeing.”

This openness, Quaid added, will make Hughie and Annie (i.e. Starlight) a more effective duo as both a couple and revolutionaries, with Annie joining the Boys team in season 3’s finale. “I just love seeing the two of them not having to hide anything from the world and just being themselves around each other, being a full-on couple, happy as one can be in a world like the one we exist in on the show. That was wonderful, just to see them as a truly lived-in couple this season. That was such an interesting dynamic to play because it’s always so fraught, but they’re each other’s rocks this season, for sure,” he continued. In the same interview, Quaid told fans to expect even more grotesque situations across season 4, adding, “There are certain moments in this season that, when I initially read them in the script, I gasped out loud, which is very hard to get me to do, after four seasons. But yeah, you know right away when you’re reading it that it’s gonna be pretty crazy.”

What Will Happen in Season 4 of The Boys?

Season 3 found the Boys once again on the back foot, not only dealing with Homelander’s growing power and radicalized fanbase, but Congresswoman/metahuman Victoria Neuman’s Vice President run thanks to her secret alliance with the Seven leader. Both Neuman and Homelander appeared in last year’s The Boys’ spinoff Gen V, with the former’s cameo not only establishing a connection to protagonist Marie Moreau, but Godolkin University’s secret development of a virus that targets superheroes. The virus recently made a return in The Boys latest season 4 trailer, cut between scenes of Homelander and Starlight supporters clashing and Homelander encouraging other superheroes to become more violent.

Along with established The Boys and Gen V characters, season 4 will feature two new Seven members in alt-right extremist Firecracker and super genius Sister Sage. The Walking Dead’s Jeffrey Dean Morgan — who previously worked with showrunner Eric Kripke on Supernatural — will also join season 4 in a still-undisclosed role.

The Boys season 4 premieres on Prime Video on Jun. 13.

Methodist Pastor Reinstated After 20 Years for Same-Sex Relationship

A Methodist pastor from Philadelphia, who was defrocked 20 years ago for being in a same-sex relationship, has been reinstated

Wednesday, May 22, 2024 2:49PM

A Methodist pastor from Philadelphia, who was defrocked 20 years ago for being in a same-sex relationship, has been reinstated.

Beth Stroud made headlines when she was ousted in 2004 after she opened up to her congregation, the First United Methodist Church of Germantown, about her same-sex relationship.

Then, three weeks ago, the United Methodist Church repealed its anti-LGBTQ bans.

Tuesday night, the church’s Eastern Pennsylvania region voted to reinstate the now 54-year-old Stroud.
