As they prepare to go their separate ways, the focus shifts to their children who will once again experience significant changes in their lives. The couple has a blended family, with kids from previous relationships. According to a source from Page Six, the children are reportedly handling the situation well and are prepared to embrace the future post the dissolution of the marriage.
Navigating the family blending process
Prior to the divorce announcement, reports mentioned that JLo was distressed about how the split would impact their collective children.
Concerning the blending of their families, Lopez shared her perspective in a 2022 interview with Vogue.
She expressed her hope for the families to come together, stating, “What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his kids have a new ally in me and my kids have a new ally in him, someone who really loves and cares about them but can have a different perspective and help me see things that I can’t see with my kids because I’m so emotionally tied up.”
