Despite Jennifer Lopez making efforts to maintain a connection with Ben Affleck’s children during their divorce, Ben Affleck has reportedly grown distant from Jennifer Lopez’s 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme. Lopez has stayed close to Affleck’s three kids, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, as well as his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
A source mentioned that Lopez continues to have a strong bond with the children from her ex-husband Marc Anthony’s previous relationships. The insider noted that Affleck has not seen Lopez’s kids for a significant period, despite Lopez being particularly close to his children.
Jennifer went public praising Affleck as a great dad, highlighting the contrast in their involvement with each other’s children.
Lopez Spending Quality Time with Affleck’s Kids
Even amidst marital challenges, Lopez was seen spending time with Affleck’s children during the summer. In July, Violet joined Lopez in the Hamptons before starting college at Yale, where they were seen bonding and enjoying each other’s company.
Recently, Lopez took Samuel for a shopping trip before returning him to Affleck’s rental home in Brentwood, California. Despite these efforts, the relationship between Lopez and Affleck deteriorated, leading to Lopez filing for divorce on August 20, with their separation date noted on April 26.
Affleck and Lopez had a high-profile relationship that culminated in a Las Vegas wedding in July 2022, followed by a grand ceremony in Georgia a month later. However, their marriage faced challenges that ultimately led to their separation.
