Since the unexpected visit from Lynda Lopez to Violet, the daughter of Ben Affleck on the Yale University campus, there has been confusion among Violet’s parents regarding this close friendship.
Violet’s parents were surprised to learn about this meeting, although it’s well-known that she has a delightful relationship with Lynda. Over time, Violet has developed a strong bond with her previous stepmother, Jennifer Lopez, and retains connections with her family.
An unexpected friendship
An insider shared with Daily Mail, “Violet feels strongly connected to Jennifer and her family. This is somewhat puzzling for Ben and Jen [Garner], as they are unsure why Violet is eager to remain close to them.”
The source added that Violet “has a great admiration for Jennifer” and that they both are committed to keeping their relationship strong.
Initially, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were not aware of these interactions, but now that Violet has turned 18, they acknowledge her right to choose her companions.
Navigating complicated relationships
The challenging end of Lopez and Affleck’s marriage has created a tricky scenario for both Violet and Lynda. However, they have consistently emphasized that this situation would not impair their relationship, and they strive to uphold that commitment.
Evidence of their strong connection was recently seen when Violet wore one of J-Lo’s dresses during an outing in Brentwood, California.
