However, Garner wrote, “Today is for gratitude.”

“We are grateful for Dad’s gentle demeanor and quiet strength, for how he teased with a mischievous smile, and for the way he invented the role of all-in, ever-patient girl dad. We are grateful for his work ethic, leadership, and faith,” she went on.

“Jennifer is in a very happy place and gets along with Ben and Jen[nifer Lopez].

Jennifer Lopez has recently made headlines for her relationship with Affleck because of her new documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told. In the documentary, the couple recounts their devastating breakup and how their love story rekindled later in life.

Lopez was inspired by their rekindled relationship, to write her new album This Is Me… Now, and to also create a ‘musical experience’ with the same title.

The public response to her projects however has been very polarizing. However, the couple has not let “outside hate” affect them according to a source. “She has always had to deal with criticism and knows that she is misunderstood by some. She realizes that will always be the case because she’s an artist and there are people who don’t get her or know her.”

According to the source, the superstar and her Oscar-winning man are looking for new housing, “Jen and Ben would love to get a place in New York and are open to buying. It just depends because it has to be perfect and something they really want to invest in. Jen is a New York girl at heart and loves being back close to where she was raised,” the source says.
