Jennifer Garner Goes Shopping As Ex Ben Affleck Marries Jennifer Lopez Again

Jennifer Garner has skipped ex-husband Ben Affleck’s second marriage to Jennifer Lopez in favor of a visit to Sam’s Club.

The former Ms. Affleck was all smiles as she visited the store in South Charleston, W.Va., just before 4 p.m. Saturday, TMZ reports.

Photos obtained by the outlet show Garner, 50, wearing a casual blue t-shirt, striped linen pants and sneakers.

She appeared to be joined by her father – along with his businessman boyfriend, John Miller – for the outing, where she even posed for a photo with a fan at one point.

Garner’s shopping trip took place around the same time as festivities began in Savannah, Georgia for Bennifer 2.0’s second nuptials.

Garner’s kids — Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10 — were all in town to see their dad say ‘yes’ to the ‘Let’s Get Loud’ singer again, this time at his lavish Georgia estate. .

It has previously been reported that Garner will not be attending the ceremony due to a scheduling conflict.

Their three-day ‘intimate celebration for family and friends’ began with a rehearsal dinner on Friday – which was briefly toned down when the ‘Good Will Hunting’ star’s mother was rushed to hospital for a cut leg – and will end with a barbecue picnic on Sunday.

Page Six previously reported that celebrity life coach and spiritual podcaster Jay Shetty was selected to officiate Affleck and Lopez’s second wedding, while luxury event planner Colin Cowie was hired to create the ceremony and the reception of their dreams.

Shetty – who has hosted a myriad of celebrities, including Lopez, on her “On Purpose” podcast – has been close with the superstar singer for years.

When she appeared on her YouTube series, “Coach Conversations,” last summer, she opened up about her relationship struggles over the years.

Lopez said that when she was in therapy in her 30s, “there was [was] we talked a lot about loving yourself, and I was like, “I love myself!” But obviously I was doing all these things in my personal relationship that didn’t seem to like me, but I didn’t even understand the concept of it.

She added at the time: “I took the time, and it’s a journey. And it’s still a journey for me.

While it’s unclear what Shetty charges for his services, we do know that Cowie produces national and international events “with budgets ranging from $25,000 to $25 million.”

As for the blushing bride’s relationship with her handsome groom, the two have been moving full speed ahead after rekindling their 20-year romance last April.

The Oscar winner, 50, proposed to the Grammy winner, 53, for the second time last April, giving her a huge emerald engagement ring.

Three months later, the couple “flew to [Las] Vegas” and said “I do” to A Little White Chapel in front of two of their five children combined: Seraphina and one of the “Marry Me” star’s 14-year-old twin daughters, Emme, whom she shares with her estranged ex. husband Marc Anthony with Emme’s brother, Max.

Lopez and Anthony, 53, were married from 2004 to 2014, while Affleck and Garner were married from 2005 to 2018.

This is Lopez’s fourth marriage and Affleck’s second.

Meanwhile, the newlyweds’ exes also seem to be moving on. Anthony is set to wed Nadia Ferreria, 23, and Garner has been dating boyfriend Miller since splitting from Affleck.

In December last year, the ‘Argo’ star opened up about their divorce, insisting they parted ways ‘amicably’.

According to Affleck, he and Garner simply “split up.” Although they “tried” to make it work for the sake of their children, they ultimately decided they “shouldn’t be married anymore.”

“We did our best. Have we had moments of tension? Did we have disagreements over custody? Were things difficult for us? Did we get angry? Yes,” he admitted, “but fundamentally it was always underpinned by a respect.

During the same interview, the actor said he felt so “trapped” at the end of the marriage that he didn’t think he would have gotten sober had he stayed.

However, he credits Garner with stepping in on him in August 2018 and making sure he checked himself into rehab.
