J.Lo ‘pissed’ over Ben talk

BEN Affleck is getting online backlash for a recent freewheeling interview he did with Howard Stern — but a source tells Page Six that Jennifer Lopez is also upset.

While discussing his divorce from Jennifer Garner during a Tuesday interview on “The Howard Stern Show,” Affleck seemed to pin his struggles with sobriety on his ex.

“Part of why I started drinking was because I was trapped,” the star said. “I was like, ‘I can’t leave because of my kids, but I’m not happy, what do I do?’ And what I did was drank a bottle of scotch and fell asleep on the couch, which turned out not to be the solution.”

Sources also tell us that Lopez isn’t happy with the chat. “[Lopez] is pissed,” said our source. “She is getting pulled into this because she is dating him. She doesn’t want to be dragged into this.” The source added, “She has met Jennifer Garner. She is trying to get to know her and Ben’s kids.”

The source said of Affleck, “It’s reckless and cavalier of him.”

Affleck and Garner were married in 2005, split in 2015 and divorced in 2018. They have three kids, while Lopez has twins with her ex, Marc Anthony.

Garner, Affleck and Lopez all went trick-ortreating together this past Halloween with their respective children. Lopez’s kids and Affleck’s kids have also all spent time together: They reportedly went to the Magic Castle and saw “Hamilton” in LA in August. They participated in a food drive in November.

Affleck also said of Garner during the recent interview, “We had a marriage that didn’t work, this happens, with somebody that I love and respect, but to whom I shouldn’t be married any longer.” And, “I knew she was a good mom.” Affleck has been to rehab multiple times and has been open with his struggles with sobriety. In 2018, Garner was photographed driving him to rehab after reportedly staging an intervention.

But another source insisted, “This is simply not true, and the focus is on the children.”
