“I was so worried about being a widow. And then one day I had an epiphany: You will be alright, Pat. And I am,” she said
“So I really have been alright. Now, I miss him. And I so wanted to tell him I was going to be on the Today show.”
Garner Has Relationship With Jennifer Lopez
Garner was previously married to famed actor Ben Affleck. They also have three kids together. Affleck and Garner split in 2018. Affleck was not back on the market for too long as he got back with his ex Jennifer Lopez.
Some assumed Garner is salty about Ben getting back with his ex not too long after a divorce. But one source says her primary concern is her kid’s happiness and Ben’s well-being.
“Jen realized that J. Lo isn’t as domineering as she assumed, and they both agree that the most important thing is the children’s happiness. They also are on the same page about a sober, happy, and healthy Ben benefiting everybody,” the source said.
However, the source did note that the fact that Garner endured Ben “at his worst,” is “painful to think about,” for the famed actress.
