An insider explained:
“Jen doesn’t want the kids around Lindsay or having her in their lives. She has many reasons.”
The parents-of-three announced their split in 2015 after 10 years of marriage.
Although the Batman star and the Saturday Night Live producer officially became an item after Jen and Ben’s divorce filing, an US Weekly source says the actor started his new relationship as early as 2014.
Reportedly, one of the reasons why Garner doesn’t want her children near Shookus is “the fact that Ben had an affair with her.”
Despite being in the middle, Affleck appears to be obliging with his ex’s request.
“Ben understands and has honored her request.”
The source adds:
“They’re good friends… She wants him to be honest and he usually is. She tends to find out about things, and Ben is very open with her. They both want what’s best for the kids and have made a commitment to see that through.”
Although the two filed for divorce in 2017, it has not been finalized partially due to Affleck’s reported past issues with alcohol.
“The one thing she’s not flexible on is sobriety… Jen is hesitant to sign off until she’s certain that the kids will be in the best hands at all time. Finalizing the divorce has been a long process because of it.”
Garner is currently starring in the new HBO series Camping.
