Jennifer Lopez played a crucial role in helping Ben Affleck reconnect with his family values before their divorce. According to an insider, the couple prioritized their blended family after marrying in July 2022.
“Family is very important to them, and together they were family people—the connection doesn’t end,” the source shared.
Affleck, 52, shares three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. Lopez, 55, has twins Max and Emme, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Since reuniting in 2021, the couple enjoyed numerous family outings with their kids.
Recently, Affleck was seen spending quality time with his children in Los Angeles, including a motorcycle ride with his son Samuel.
Despite their efforts, sources noted that Lopez and Affleck are “very different people.” Lopez enjoys a public lifestyle, while Affleck prefers staying home. On the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding, Lopez filed for divorce, symbolizing her empowerment and independence after the marriage’s downfall.
With Affleck reportedly showing no interest in reconciliation, Lopez listed April 26 as their separation date, formally ending their union. “He hasn’t shown any commitment and interest in making their marriage work. It’s gotten to the point that she just needs to look out for herself,” a source told *People* magazine.
