Jennifer Lopez wants to “nurture” the relationship between her children and Jennifer Garner’s kids.
The pop superstar has twins Emme and Max with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Now that she is married to Hollywood actor Ben Affleck — who has Violet, Seraphina and Samuel with ex-wife Jennifer Garner — an insider has claimed that all parties are keen to do “whatever it takes” to support their respective families.
“Jennifer, Jen and Ben have had a great relationship for quite some time now. They know there are going to be plenty of times they’ll all be attending the same events together, whether that’s school performances, sports, etc. They communicate rather frequently when it comes to their kids, scheduling plans, etc. They know the ones who benefit the most are the children, and that’s all they care about,” a source told Us Weekly.
“They have a mutual respect for each other as parents and know how well all their kids get along. They want to foster and nurture those relationships and will do whatever it takes to show their support,” the source added.
The “Jenny from the Block” hitmaker was initially engaged to Affleck in the early 2000s before they broke it off and the actor went on to marry the 13 Going on 30 star. The insider went on to insist that for all involved, the past is in the past.
“Anything that’s happened in the past is water under the bridge, It’s genuinely a copacetic situation all around,” the source added.
Affleck and Garner divorced in 2018 after 13 years of marriage. When he rekindled his relationship with Lopez in 2021, an insider claimed that the “Alien” star “approved” of her ex-husband’s new flame.
“JLo has Jennifer Garner’s seal of approval. JLo thinks Jennifer is a kind and wonderful person and an amazing mother. Friends say they can see [Lopez and Affleck] staying together forever this time around. They love being together and the weekends away they had been spending together have really sealed the deal. [Lopez and Affleck] are very much in love,” the source said.
