After\u00a0photos of<\/a>\u00a0Affleck and Garner, both 52, surfaced showing the\u00a0Accountant 2<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>actor wrapping his arms around her, a source tells PEOPLE that\u00a0Lopez \u2014 who finalized her divorce from Affleck<\/a>\u00a0in January after two years of marriage \u2014 “isn’t bothered” by the pictures “at all.”<\/p>\n

“Jennifer Garner knows what it is and knows what it is not. And people are reading into it in a way to create drama where there is none,” the source says.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

According to the source, Lopez, 55, “doesn’t feel betrayed,” adding, “I think the two Jens are great admirers of the other, and I think\u00a0they’re all co-parenting<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“There is no animosity. They are friendly,” the source says, adding, “We’re always pitting women against women. In this case, it’s just not the truth.”<\/p>\n

“They have been on good terms for a while now and seem to enjoy chatting and hanging out,” one insider told PEOPLE of the former couple March 5. “Most of the time, the kids are around too.”<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

That insider added that Affleck “usually acts happy around” Garner, who is currently dating\u00a0John Miller<\/a>, and said, “She doesn’t seem to mind. She seems to enjoy spending time with Ben,” with whom she shares three kids: Samuel,\u00a0Violet<\/a>, 19, and\u00a0Seraphina<\/a>, 16.<\/p>\n
