Jennifer Lopez and her sister continue to stay in touch with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s children due to the strong family bonds they’ve developed over the years. As part of their blended family, Lopez and Affleck share custody of their own children, and the relationships with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s kids have remained cordial and supportive. The ongoing connection is motivated by a desire to maintain a sense of unity for the sake of the children, ensuring they all have healthy relationships with their step-siblings and extended family. Lopez has often emphasized her commitment to co-parenting in a positive, nurturing environment for all involved.
A source has revealed to People that Jennifer Lopez, 55, has stayed in touch with Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12, the three children Ben Affleck, 52, shares with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. This update follows a recent selfie in which Violet was seen spending time with Jennifer’s sister, Lynda Lopez.
Despite her divorce from Ben in August, the Let’s Get Loud singer, who has two children of her own, reportedly keeps herself available to Ben’s kids and has made it clear that they can always reach out if they need support. “Jennifer keeps in touch with the Affleck kids. Her whole family loves them. She wants them to know that they can always reach out if they need anything at all,” the source shared.
Violet, in particular, has developed a warm relationship with Jennifer. Over the summer, amid rumors of the Bennifer divorce, Violet was seen hanging out with Jennifer in the Hamptons. In another instance, Violet was spotted wearing a Dolce & Gabbana dress that Jennifer had worn during a Valentine’s Day date night with Ben.
More recently, Lynda visited Violet at Yale University, and the pair took a selfie together. Jennifer was also seen shopping with Samuel in August, just before the divorce announcement.
Jennifer Lopez, the Waiting for Tonight singer and mother of 16-year-old twins Emme and Max with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, has maintained close ties with Ben Affleck’s children, despite her divorce from him in August. Following this, DailyMail.com reported that Ben and Jennifer Garner were puzzled by Violet’s decision to stay close to Jennifer’s family, particularly her sister, Lynda Lopez.
According to an insider, Violet, 18, is determined to maintain her bond with Lopez and her family. “Violet has a strong attachment to JLo and her family,” the source explained, adding that it has been “quite confusing” for Ben and Jennifer Garner, who don’t fully understand why Violet is so intent on keeping the relationship strong. The insider also revealed that Violet took the initiative to reach out to Lynda, inviting her to visit and maintain their connection. “Violet said that she just reached out to her and said she wanted to come visit,” the source added.
Jennifer filed for divorce from Ben on August 20, the second anniversary of their formal wedding, citing irreconcilable differences and listing their separation date as April 26.
