Family is a big priority for Jennifer Lopez. Back when she was engaged to Alex Rodriguez, the pair spoke often about their blended family. Now, Affleck is committed to being a loving step-dad to Lopez’s 15-year-old twins Max and Emme, whom she shares with ex Marc Anthony. As the “Hustlers” star gushed on a 2023 episode of “The View,” Affleck’s parenting skills are one of the things she loves most about him. “[Ben] is honestly the best dad I’ve ever seen,” J.Lo said. “He’s so involved. He teaches me about how to … interact with the kids. …He must have read every book and everything you could possibly learn about children and he applies it.” Not only is Affleck a wonderful father, but he manages to juggle fatherhood with his demanding work schedule. “He’s present, and that’s all you can ask for is a present, loving dad who cares and shows up every single day,” Lopez added.
After the pair tied the knot in 2022, Affleck and his multi-hyphenate wife moved in together with all of their respective kids. “It’s been … an emotional transition, but at the same time all your dreams coming true,” J.Lo said during an appearance on “Today.” Though they’re certainly not the only blended family in Hollywood, Affleck and Lopez are unique for choosing to raise their blended family under one roof. Others, like Kravis, have opted to live in separate homes.
