Jen Garner Takes Power Walk In $800 Gucci Shoes After Running To Ex-Husband Ben Affleck's Rescue Over J Lo Marital Mess
Jen Garner looked carefree during an afternoon walk with a friend as reports swirl that her ex-husband Ben Affleck's "not happy" in his short-lived marriage to Jennifer Lopez. The 13 Going On 30 actress stepped out on Thursday after a source claimed Affleck went to Garner for help with his relationship issues, RadarOnline.com can report.
Garner, 50, was spotted walking briskly around her ritzy Brentwood, CA, area just hours after this outlet posted photos of Affleck looking miserable after selling off his bachelor pad. While her ex seemed to have a lot on his mind, Garner appeared the opposite.
The mom of three soaked up the overcast air while pulling double duties, including sneaking in some exercise and catching up with a friend. In the photos, Garner showcased her natural beauty by sporting zero makeup for the outing.
She wore a solid white t-shirt and loose workout pants, but her feet screamed rich!
Instead of slipping on normal walking shoes, Garner did her power walk in a pair of $800 Gucci sneakers. The Alias actress was photographed wearing what appeared to be the luxury brand's Ace Sneakers, valued at $770 before tax.
While Garner and her ex-husband don't have to worry about money, only one of them is allegedly in need of relationship advice at the moment.
