'She's thrilled to get rid of her fourth child': Sources reveal Jennifer Garner is relieved ex Ben Affleck is married
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Garner is reportedly enjoying the marriage of her ex-husband Ben Affleck with Jennifer Lopez. Internet's famous couple celebrated their dream wedding with a party on Saturday, August 20 at Ben's Riceboro mansion in Georgia decades after they originally planned to marry.
Despite their 2017 divorce after 12 years of marriage, Hollywood's 'All-American Girl' has stood by Affleck's side for years. "The biggest regret of my life is this divorce," Affleck earlier told The New York Times. "Shame is really toxic. There is no positive byproduct of shame. It's just stewing in a toxic, hideous feeling of low self-worth and self-loathing."

Jennifer Garner 'happy' about Ben Affleck's engagement to 'positive influence' Jennifer Lopez
Although Garner was not present in the lavish ceremony of Affleck, 50, and Jennifer Lopez, 53, that took place last Saturday, that doesn't mean she isn't happy. An insider revealed to E! News that Garner is sure and she "knows that J-Lo has been a positive influence in certain ways."
A source close to the actress and who knows both Affleck and Garner referenced everything that the actress has done for Affleck such as providing help for her ex-husband while he was dealing with alcohol addiction after their separation in 2017 and staging an intervention in 2018. The source said, "I’m sure she’s thrilled to get rid of her fourth child."
The former couple’s children Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, were all present to witness their dad exchange vows with Lopez following a quick Vegas chapel ceremony last month. According to Page Six, the insider was not clear if Garnar received a wedding invitation.
Just hours before Jennifer Lopez and Affleck's second wedding, the 50-year-old actress was spotted at Sam's Club in South Charleston, West Virginia, looking happy as ever. She was seen taking a selfie with a fan while out with her businessman boyfriend John Miller and her father, William, who appeared to be joining her.
Additionally, a second Hollywood insider this week told Page Six that even though Affleck is no longer involved with Garner, the two ex-spouses will always be linked. "Jen has always approached things the same, no matter who Ben has been with," stated one insider. "They have kids together — so if he has another episode, or falls off the wagon, it would be her problem."
However, the source related to both Garner and Affleck explained, "Jen is a great mother, she has really mothered those kids — and it’s great that she doesn’t have to have a fourth child anymore."
The Charleston-born '13 Going on 30' star wed Affleck in 2005, a year after divorcing actor Scott Foley. The source stated, "Jen grew up with her parents happily married and her sisters are married, so I know that she wanted it to work out. But she’s moved on."
Garner recently wrapped up filming in Austin, Texas for her new Apple + series, 'The Last Time I Saw Him.' It was created by Reese Witherspoon's company and is based on the bestselling book by Laura Dave. Recently it was revealed that Lopez will work on Netflix's sci-fi thriller 'Atlas' with 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' star Simu Liu, it was also revealed this week that Affleck has been directing his new film about Nike, which also stars his close friend Matt Damon.
