In the midst of ongoing speculation surrounding the alleged troubles in the relationship of Hollywood power couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, actress Jennifer Garner has taken to social media to share a meaningful poem. The 52-year-old star of "13 Going on 30" re-posted the poem "it gets better" by Cleo Wade on her Instagram Stories, tagging the poet alongside a red heart emoji.
Garner refrained from adding a caption to the re-post, leaving the poem to speak for itself. The actress has remained silent about Affleck and Lopez's reported marital woes ever since the couple made headlines last month for living separately.
Page Six previously reported in May that the 51-year-old actor had "come to his senses" about his union with Lopez, almost two years after tying the knot in Las Vegas. An anonymous source revealed, "If there was a way to divorce on grounds of temporary insanity, he would. [He] understands there is just no way this is going to work."
Affleck and Lopez's love story began back in 2002, and although they were engaged for two years, the couple eventually called it quits. However, they surprised everyone when they reconciled and got back together in 2021. In the time they were apart, Affleck married Garner, with whom he shares three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. Meanwhile, Lopez tied the knot with singer Marc Anthony and became a mother to 16-year-old twins Max and Emme.
Despite the rumors swirling around their relationship, Affleck and Lopez have showcased a united front, especially when it comes to their children. Whether it's attending graduation parties or basketball games, the couple has consistently put on a united front. Lopez even made the decision to cancel her "This Is Me... Live | The Greatest Hits" tour, citing a desire to spend more time with her "children, family, and close friends" amid the split speculation.
While initial reports about slow ticket sales for her tour made headlines in April, it has been reported that by the time Lopez canceled the shows, they were already 78 percent sold. The decision to step back from her career further fueled speculation that she is willing to make sacrifices to save her marriage.
A close friend of Lopez shared, "She wants this marriage to work so much that she is willing to make any sacrifice, including giving up being J.Lo. It's sad to see her dimming her shine to try to keep him."
As the rumors continue to circulate, Garner's re-post of the poignant poem serves as a poignant reminder that sometimes, amid difficult times, things can get better.
