The Jennifer Lopez divorce showdown continues. US Magazine is reporting in their next issue that Jennifer's mother Guadalupe Lopez sought the advice of Ben Affleck as her daughter's marriage crumbled. "Guadalupe reached out to Ben over email. She wanted advice for Jennifer," reveals a source. "She always liked and trusted him. [Ben] replied back on email, wished her well and offered what he could," the source says of Affleck, 38, now happily married with two daughters to Jennifer Garner. (Lopez, now 41, wed Latin crooner Anthony, 42, just months after she and Affleck split.)
Three days after the email exchange Lopez and Marc Anthony announced their split via a joint statement.
Now you have to understand that the magazine had been working with her people to give them an exclusive. The coverage is very pro-Lopez. So we know that the inside sources are probably within her own management team. That said, are you scratching your head like I am? Doesn't it seem bizarre that years after a tumultuous breakup that her mother would email her ex-boyfriend for advice on what she should do about her impending divorce? Especially given these two probably never talk and he is currently married? Is this an attempt to reconcile? An attempt to infuriate his current wife? A rogue mother willing to embarrass her daughter? It's weird, right?
What do you think the email said? Shall I guess?

Hi Ben,
I know you are married, have your own kids, and basically want to pretend the entire Gigli period never occurred, but I am desperate. Jen doesn't have any idea that I am writing you, but I thought you might be able to help. She can't stand being married to Marc anymore. She wants out but doesn't know how to handle it. She thinks people might judge her because this would be three marriages down the toilet. Any advice? Busy this Thursday? Want to meet up at the casino? We could chat about life, the economy, and possibly getting back with her?
Mama Lopez
P.S. Jennifer says hi.
