Jennifer Lopez, 56, and Jennifer Garner, 53, were both at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony at the Beverly Hilton on Sunday. 

They both looked incredible in form-fitting gowns as they served as presenters for he annual show which saw One Battle After Another win big.

But they were not photographed together.

The two are closely linked as they were both wed to Ben Affleck - Garner from 2005 until 2018 and Lopez from 2022 until 2025 - and their children are friends.

Lopez has twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony and Garner has Violet, Seraphina and Samuel with Affleck. 

Daily Mail has learned, however, that there is 'no drama' and that they are 'friendly with each other.' 'They get along, they are cool with each other, there are no issues,' the source told Daily Mail. 'They don't want to drum up headlines by posing together at an awards show, that would be awkward. They don't want to create a fuss because it would be hard for the kids.'

Daily Mail has reached out to their reps for comment.

The insider added they see each other 'often' because their children Emme and Seraphina (who now goes by Finn) are especially close.

'I am pretty sure they see each other like once a week because of the kids, and they talk on the phone, they are co-parenting in a way even though Lopez divorced Ben,' said the source.

And Lopez has also been seen separately in the past with Affleck and Garner's son Samuel and daughter Violet so it seems like she keeps up with all the kids.

'They are like one big Modern Family, which is nice. They have all been in solid therapy and understand the importance of getting along for the sake of the kids,' added the insider.

'Also Garner is very cool about everything, she is a no drama lady, so there was no way there was every going to be any weirdness. She is like the nicest person in Hollywood.' 

Garner made her comeback at the Golden Globes 2026 awards ceremony after 13 years. She last attended the ceremony in 2013 alongside her then-husband Ben Affleck. 

Garner arrived at the annual awards ceremony in a sleeveless black dress with beaded fringe.

Lopez modeled a sheer vintage Jean-Louis Scherrer gown that she bought herself. She was attending this award show for the first time following her divorce from Affleck. She last attended the Golden Globes in 2024 with Affleck.

Both Garner and Lopez were presenters at the award ceremony; Garner presented first then Lopez. 

The ladies do not talk about each other much in the press.

Recently Garner told Marie Claire UK, 'It doesn’t serve me to take in gossip about myself or anyone else, much less my kids, so I don’t do it.'

Lopez told December 2022 Vogue that Garner is 'an amazing co-parent, and they [Affleck and Garner] work really well together.'

And a source told People that Lopez and Garner are 'great admirers of the other' and 'they’re all co-parenting.' The source also said, 'There is no animosity. They are friendly. We’re always pitting women against women. In this case, it’s just not the truth.'
