KEY POINTS

  • Jennifer Garner allegedly considers Ben Affleck her fourth child
  • The former couple shares three kids together -- Violet, Seraphina and Samuel
  • The 'Batman' actor wed Jennifer Lopez in his Georgia estate last weekend

Jennifer Garner is happy Jennifer Lopez has taken Ben Affleck, whom she considers her fourth child, off her hands, a new report claimed.

Sources told Page Six that Garner felt relieved that she may no longer take care of Affleck now that he is already married to Lopez. Most, if not all, fans can recall that the "Daredevil actress staged an intervention and got her former husband to go to rehab in August 2018 for alcohol addiction, and even drove him to the clinic.

"I'm sure she's thrilled to get rid of her fourth child," an unnamed insider close to Garner and Affleck said, referencing all "Elektra" star has done for her ex. The ex-lover's kids – Violet, Seraphina and Samuel – all graced the second wedding of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez last weekend.

However, Jennifer Garner was noticeably nowhere to be seen when Affleck and Lopez exchanged their vows in front of their family and friends in Georgia. It remains unclear if the newlyweds invited the "13 Going On 30" actress.

Just a few hours before Affleck and Lopez walked down the aisle for a second time, Garner was spotted all smiles as she was pictured at Sam's Club in South Charleston on Saturday. William Garner and John Miller joined Garner for the outing and were even sighted posing for snaps with a fan.

Meanwhile, another tipster told Page Six that, although Ben Affleck is now off Jennifer Garner's hands, they would always be entwined.

"Jen has always approached things the same, no matter who Ben has been with," the informant claimed. "They have kids together — so if he has another episode or falls off the wagon, it would be her problem," it added.

However, an insider close to Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck noted that "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."

"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," the tattler furthered.

Jennifer Garner has yet to comment on the reports saying that she is "thrilled to get rid of her fourth child" – Ben Affleck.
