Gwyneth Paltrow, Academy Award–winning actress — and divorce counselor! The “Shakespeare in Love” star is guiding former beau Ben Affleck through his split with Jennifer Garner.
Gwyneth, 43, who divorced Coldplay rocker Chris Martin, 39, last year, is now helping Ben and Jen navigate their way through the divorce process, sources told The National ENQUIRER.
“Gwyneth has been like a rock to Ben ever since things went south with Jen,” dished a spy. “And Jen’s grateful to Gwyneth for helping to keep the divorce as amicable as possible.” The “Iron Man” actress has stayed on good terms with Ben, 43, since their 2000 breakup.

Now she’s helping her old boyfriend through his difficult divorce with Jen, 44. Last June, the couple announced they were splitting for good after 10 years amid reports of Ben cheating. “Gwyneth is coaching Ben.
Now, instead of being bitter or resentful, they’re putting their own egos aside and agreeing to disagree,” revealed the insider. “Gwyneth reminded them that the kids come first.” Ben and Jen are the parents to three children: Violet, 10, Seraphina, 7, and Samuel, 4.
“Jen was furious with Ben when they first split,” said the source. “She had a hard time letting go of the resentment she felt towards him for throwing their marriage away, and Ben never thought she’d actually walk away from him.”

The humiliation the pair was experiencing during the very public display of acrimony prompted Gwyneth’s intervention.
“She knows the art of forgiveness!” added the spy. “She’s helped take Ben and Jen to a higher spiritual level.”
