A “well-placed Hollywood source” told the report that Garner was told the event was happening a day before it happened. “Ben told Jen about the wedding but I was told it wasn’t until Friday at the earliest. It was very, very little planned in advance and was very much spur of the moment. [Affleck and Garner’s 16-year-old daughter] “Violet stayed home because she is extremely loyal to her mom.” This source added that Lopez wanted to marry Affleck:[Lopez] she had been ready to get married since the night Ben proposed. He wanted to lock it down and remove any chance of cold feet as soon as possible!” (Affleck and Lopez called off their original wedding plans 20 years ago the day before the ceremony and split shortly after until reconciling last year.) Despite being out of town, Garner is supportive of Affleck and Lopez’s relationship. In April, a source detailed to E! how Garner felt about Affleck and Lopez’s engagement. “Ben told Jen and the kids, so they knew,” said a source close to Garner. “Jen is happy for Ben and knows that J.Lo is a positive influence in certain ways.” A source spoke to Entertainment Tonight in late March about how Garner felt when Affleck and Lopez’s relationship was on the verge of an engagement. “Jen Garner and Ben are doing well. She understands and supports Jen and Ben’s relationship,” the source said. “He knows Ben is doing well all around and at the end of the day he wants what’s best for the kids and for things to be smooth and trouble-free. She wants everyone to be happy and healthy and her children are always the priority. Everyone is feeling good at this point and looking forward to the future.” You may also like it
