Following the recent filing for divorce by Jennifer Lopez from Ben Affleck, sources indicate that Jennifer Garner feels she was utilized as a 'pawn' in the couple's tumultuous relationship. Amidst Affleck's struggles with sobriety, Garner reportedly played the role of mediator, a position her friends believe was unfairly thrust upon her. Despite Garner's intent to support Affleck, her friends expressed discontent over how Lopez relied on her during the breakdown of their marriage. As Garner focuses on co-parenting their three children, she has distanced herself from the complications of the situation. Ultimately, while Garner wishes for Affleck's happiness, she acknowledges the emotional toll of being caught in the middle of his relationship with Lopez.
