Jennifer Lopez Opens Up About Losing Connection with Ben Affleck’s Kids After Divorce: “They’ll Always Be Loved”
Jennifer Lopez has shared the bittersweet feelings of separation from Ben Affleck’s children after filing for divorce in August, following two years of marriage. Known for her warmth and closeness with her own family, Lopez has maintained a special connection with Affleck’s children—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—even amidst the complexities of their split.
A close source to the Unstoppable star revealed, “Jennifer is focusing on her future and truly appreciates the blessings in her life. But the children remain close to her heart, and she wants them to know they’re still deeply cared for by her and her family.”
Just recently, Lopez’s sister, Lynda, was seen visiting Violet at Yale University, posting a heartfelt message with the caption, “New Haven with my favorite Yalie! 💙” The family’s warmth and support show how genuinely they treasure the bond they built with Affleck’s children.
“Jennifer keeps in touch with Ben’s kids, and her whole family cherishes them,” the source shared. “They’ve made it clear to the kids that they’re always there if they need anything.” Lopez’s gesture speaks to her nurturing spirit, as she quietly ensures they feel supported, even if from afar.
Affleck, on his part, continues to admire Lopez’s talent, especially as she stars in the upcoming film Unstoppable, which he co-produced. Speaking about her role, Affleck told Entertainment Tonight, “Jennifer is truly incredible in this film.” Affleck highlighted that both Unstoppable and his other production, Small Things Like These, are projects driven by passion and dedication, just like the artists involved.
Affleck noted that the Unstoppable cast, which includes Don Cheadle, Jharrel Jerome, and Bobby Cannavale, is inspired by the real-life figures they portray, including Anthony Robles and his mother Judy, played by Lopez. Unstoppable is slated for release on December 6, with Small Things Like These debuting on November 8, promising an emotional journey for viewers.
Through her quiet strength and enduring love, Jennifer Lopez shows that family bonds go beyond circumstances, and her heartfelt commitment to Affleck’s children reflects the grace with which she approaches life’s transitions. Fans are eager to see Lopez bring that same depth to her performance on screen, as she continues to inspire with her resilience and compassion.
