Ben Affleck’s ex-girlfriend desperate to help him amid Jennifer Lopez’s divorce

Ben Affleck’s ex-girlfriend, Gwyneth Paltrow, is eager to offer her support as the actor navigates a potential divorce from Jennifer Lopez, a source has revealed. According to In Touch Weekly, the Iron Man star believes that Affleck could benefit from the tools that helped her and Chris Martin during their separation.

Paltrow and Martin famously referred to their split as “conscious uncoupling,” a concept that emphasized amicable separation and co-parenting. A source told the publication that Paltrow has been keeping tabs on the news about Affleck’s possible divorce from Lopez and feels strongly that she can assist the couple. “Gwyneth has even reached out and offered to do whatever she can to help him during this difficult time,” the source revealed.

They said, “Gwyneth has been following the situation closely and believes really strongly that she could help them by sharing some of the tools that worked for her and Chris Martin.” “People ask her for that kind of help all the time, but she’s very picky about who she’ll give her time to,” they added. “Ben isn’t just anyone though, she’s been friends with him for nearly 30 years and she hates to see him going through this sort of pain.” Paltrow has even “reached out and offered to do whatever she can to help him during this difficult time,” the source revealed.

Paltrow and Affleck dated in 1997 after they met at a party thrown by Harvey Weinstein. However, despite their split, she is “team Ben at the end of the day.” “She knows he’s far from perfect and she’s got enough distance to act as an impartial mediator for him and J. Lo,” the outlet claimed.

“She’s offered to try and help them get back on track but if it comes down to it she’s also got the skills to help them navigate the divorce with spiritual techniques, and practical advice to make it easier on them and on their kids. “It’s typical Gwyneth, she always loves to meddle, but at least her heart is in the right place.” 

Paltrow and Affleck began dating in 1997 after meeting at a party thrown by Harvey Weinstein. Despite their split, she remains supportive of Affleck. “She is team Ben at the end of the day,” the source added. Paltrow’s willingness to help underscores the amicable nature of her past relationship with Affleck and her belief in applying the same principles that helped her through her own high-profile divorce. Whether Affleck and Lopez will accept her offer remains to be seen, but Paltrow’s gesture highlights her ongoing care and concern for her former flame.
