According to a source close to the situation, the children of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are handling the news of their parents’ divorce well. “His kids are taking it fine as are hers,” the source shared with Page Six shortly after Lopez announced the end of their marriage, adding, “Everybody is ready to move on.”
The blended family includes Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme (16), and Affleck’s children, Violet (18), Seraphina (15), and Samuel (12). The kids have spent quality time together during various outings and trips since their parents rekindled their romance in 2021.
Despite her decision to file for divorce, Lopez reportedly worried about the impact their separation might have on the children. “There are five kids involved in this,” a source noted. “She knew they were going to blend families. She has not fully accepted it is over.”
Lopez officially filed for divorce from Affleck at the Los Angeles Superior Court, listing their separation date as April 26, 2024. The filing did not mention whether they had a prenup, and Lopez requested no spousal support for either party.
The filing coincidentally took place on the second anniversary of their Georgia wedding, which followed their private Las Vegas elopement in 2022. Rumors of their split began circulating in May when Affleck missed the Met Gala, and further speculation arose when he was later seen without his wedding ring. Reports then surfaced suggesting Affleck had moved out of their shared Beverly Hills home.
