Yes, and the Beverly Hills Hotel is known for being the best at protecting the privacy of celebrities. That’s probably one reason why he thought she called the paps, because you don’t normally see pap pics there. |
What a great idea! He could make millions to help pay for all these houses. |
Can’t they just have a play date or hangout date for the kids at each parent’s respective homes? Why join the fighting parents together? This is unpleasant. |
This is pissing me off. I feel like JLO is just trying to do another documentary in real time. Ben is every bit as guilty for showing up and that stunt with Matt’s wife.
This all feels very desperate and sad. |
Yes, bc they presumably didn’t introduce the kids immediately when they began dating again…so it really wasn’t a few years. They were traveling as a couple for much of their early dating and they didn’t move in together immediately. Presumably Ben’s kids spent the bulk of their time with garner. Anyway, this has become a drama-filled mess. Why aren’t Ben and Garner ripping off the bandaid and explaining to their kids that the twins are not their step-siblings and it’s best to back away? |
Probably because after living together and forming bonds, it's cruel to separate the kids just because the parents aren't getting along? |
The kids aren’t separated. Three of the five kids attend the same high school, Formerly four of the five kids. Violet’s 18 and just started college. She was close with J Lo all summer. The kids are not an excuse here. They are old enough to contact their ex step siblings via social media or cell phone. I’m sure all their kids have phones. |
I think the issues that they had leading to divorce had to do w/ allegations against Sean Combs or something to do w/ the kids. |
They were barely step-siblings. Barely lived together for barely two years.
Are they supposed to pretend they are siblings forever? Even when their dad basically can’t stand his ex (JLo)? Again: why haven’t Ben and Garner sat their kids down and explained this weird two year thing is over, they can certainly choose to remain friends but they aren’t family and aren’t obligated? |
It is odd to meet up in such a public place. New York Post says they were working out details about the divorce. Maybe it is easier to meet up and talk than filter everything through an attorney. Maybe they want to put out a narrative about how amicable they are? I would think you would go out of your way to avoid the person that you are divorcing, but maybe a happy picture matters for them image-wise. |
She filed without an attorney. I think Jennifer wants to drag this out because she really thinks she can win him over by using the kids and getting them on her side. I think she’s desperate and would do anything for Ben-even paying Violet’s Yale tuition. The desperation she has is more to do with ego and saving face rather than true love at this point. Violet tagged along all summer in the Hamptons with Jennifer. She’s disgusting. She will soon invite Violet and her college friends over. She’s not leaving Ben’s life this time. She’s crazier than Garner who also seems to always appear around Ben without the kids. It’s like he has two stalkers |
Do you not understand that this is just a rounding error for all of them and, in an unlikely event it happened (and Garner allowed it) it would mean absolutely nothing. |
Yeah, I don't think paying Violet's Yale tuition is a problem for Ben and Jen G. |
Why would she pay V’s Yale tuition? Both JG and BA have millions of dollars. |
I think PP got carried away and brought their middle class mentality, in which college tuition bills are some momentous life events, into analysis. It's kind of endearing, actually. |
