Speculations about the Hollywood couple's alleged crumbling marriage has been circulating for weeks now and according to Celeb Dirty Laundry, Blake Lively may have something to do with it, indirectly.

But Blake Lively isn't the only actress Jennifer Garner is allegedly worried about. The "Alias" star is also concerned about Ben Affleck and his "Gone Girl" co-star Emily Ratajkowski.

"Jen was so worried about Ben and Emily that she asked her pal Neil Patrick Harris to keep an eye on them while on set," according to National Enquirer.

Amid divorce rumors, Hollywood Life says Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have purportedly sought help from a marriage counselor to save their marriage. However, the couple may not be resolving their issues head on as Ben reportedly resorts to staying at LA's Bel-Air hotel whenever he and his wife are fighting.
