Jennifer Garner is known for her dedication to both her career and her personal life, but sources close to the actress are starting to worry that she is taking on too much.
At 52, Garner is juggling multiple responsibilities, including her Hollywood career, co-parenting her three children with ex-husband Ben Affleck,
and dedicating herself to volunteer work in the wake of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.
While her commitment to helping others is admirable, those around her fear she may be pushing herself to the brink of exhaustion.
Overworking Herself for a Cause
Garner has always been passionate about giving back, and the recent wildfires have only intensified her drive to help those in need.
According to an insider, the actress has been devoting every spare moment to assisting friends and neighbors who have lost everything in the disaster.
“She’s been tirelessly helping her community, supporting her church, and offering aid wherever she can,” a source revealed. “Jen doesn’t know how to slow down, especially when she feels deeply connected to a cause.”
Adding to her emotional burden, Garner reportedly lost a friend in the fires, which has only strengthened her resolve to assist in recovery efforts. Despite the emotional and physical toll, she continues to work non-stop, leaving little time for self-care.
Balancing Family and Personal Struggles
In addition to her volunteer work, Garner has been caught in the crossfire of Affleck’s highly publicized divorce from Jennifer Lopez. While she and Affleck have maintained an amicable relationship for the sake of their children—Violet, 19; Fin, 16; and Samuel, 12—the stress of being a mediator in her ex-husband’s personal turmoil has reportedly taken a toll on her.
“The fires came at a difficult time,” a source explained. “She was already exhausted from dealing with Ben’s split from JLo. Now that it’s over, she has one less stressor, but she’s still a full-time, hands-on parent while juggling everything else.”
Although Affleck, 52, is rumored to be seeking a renewed connection with Garner, sources close to her insist that she has moved on. She is currently in a relationship with businessman John Miller, and while she remains supportive of Affleck, rekindling their romance is not in her plans.
Health Concerns and Burnout Worries
While Garner remains focused on her many commitments, those closest to her have expressed growing concerns about her well-being. Observers have noted that she has been looking noticeably thinner in recent weeks, sparking speculation that the stress is beginning to take a physical toll.
“Jen is known for being incredibly strong, but even she has limits,” a source shared. “She’s constantly putting others first—whether it’s her family, her community, or her career—and she rarely prioritizes herself. People are starting to worry that she’s heading for burnout.”
Friends reportedly wish she would take a step back and allow herself some much-needed rest. However, as someone who thrives on being active and involved, slowing down is not in her nature.
“She has a hard time saying no, especially when people ask for help,” the insider continued. “She’s been dedicating herself to wildfire relief efforts because the tragedy has directly affected people she cares about. But it’s come at the cost of her own well-being.”
Pushing Herself Professionally
Despite her already packed schedule, Garner remains committed to her Hollywood career. She recently returned to the big screen in Deadpool & Wolverine, which required months of intense physical training. The role was a fan favorite, earning her praise, but those close to her question whether she should have taken on such a physically demanding project on top of everything else.
“Jen put in an enormous amount of effort to get back in shape and perform her own stunts,” the source noted. “She gave it her all, as she always does. But you have to wonder if she ever gives herself a break.”
Even though the film was a success, friends believe she should learn to put herself first once in a while.
“She doesn’t like to admit it, but she has a tendency to take on too much,” the source added. “You just wish she would take a vacation, sit on a beach, and relax for a bit. But that’s just not who she is—her life is always go, go, go.”
Final Thoughts
Jennifer Garner has built a reputation as one of Hollywood’s most beloved and hardworking actresses, but her relentless pace has many concerned. With so many responsibilities pulling her in different directions, those closest to her hope she will take the time to prioritize her own health and well-being. Whether or not she will slow down remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—her dedication to others is unwavering.
