Jameela Jamil has spoken out against comparisons being made between Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner, after the former rekindled her romance with the latter's ex-husband, Ben Affleck.

But The Good Place star Jamil took to social media on Sunday to criticize subsequent comparisons that have been made between Lopez and Garner, who was married to Affleck from 2005 until their 2015 split.

Jamil tweeted: "ABSOLUTELY not here for the Jennifer Garner comparison to JLo, with paparazzi pics of her working out, put right next to glamorous social media photos of JLo.

"I have lived a life of so many women seeing me as a threat or a competitor, and have never wanted that, nor have I ever seen another woman as anything other than safety in numbers, or someone to be excited about," Jamil went on.

Jamil's post came on the same day Lopez took to Instagram to share photos of herself posing on a yacht as she celebrated her birthday on the French Riviera.

Earlier this month, Lopez spoke about the "amazing things" happening in her life, though she didn't directly mention Affleck, who shares three children with Garner?

"And I want my people who care about me because I care about them so much, to know that I've really gotten to a place in my life where I'm great on my own.

"And I think once you get to that place, then amazing things happen to you that you never imagine in your life happening again.
