The recent split of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck marks a new chapter in their story, yet it remains a topic of interest. Despite a seemingly calm divorce process, stories continue to surface about this once-celebrated Hollywood duo.
The couple had a romantic reunion with their 2022 wedding, but by early 2024, they were heading towards separation. Recently, however, glimpses of camaraderie have been observed.
This past weekend, Lynda Lopez, sister of Jennifer, made an unplanned visit to Violet Affleck, as showcased on Lynda’s Instagram where she shared a selfie from Yale University.
“Exploring New Haven with my favorite Yale student!” she captioned alongside various photos from the visit.
Navigating New Waters: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s Public Interactions
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are learning to coexist as they come together at events for their kids.
Lopez has expressed interest in maintaining a friendly relationship, while Affleck appears to prefer a more distant dynamic.
Affleck, who shares children with his former spouse Jennifer Garner, has been attending functions that also involve Lopez‘s children, twins Emme and Max. Sources suggest that while Lopez is keen to strengthen their post-divorce relationship, Affleck is focused on maintaining a clear division between their family lives.
A source indicated that while Affleck, 52, is comfortable encountering Lopez at these functions, he typically keeps interactions brief, preferring to say a quick “hello” and “goodbye”. Despite Lopez’s inclination for greater closeness, Affleck feels it’s best for everyone involved to keep their lives distinct.
“Ben understands that he will sometimes see Jen at these events, and he accepts that,” the source noted. “However, he wishes to keep their engagements minimal. For him, separating their lives is the most beneficial approach.”
