Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are determined to maintain a strong relationship, despite their recent divorce. According to a source who spoke to Page Six, the estranged couple will remain “inseparable” in each other’s lives, even though they are no longer romantically involved.
“They have every intention of continuing to be in each other’s lives despite not being romantically involved,” the insider revealed, four months after Lopez filed for divorce from the Batman star. “Ben and Jennifer are still connected and they do communicate when it involves their kids.”
The focus for both Affleck, 52, and Lopez, 55, remains their children, who are a top priority for both. Affleck shares three children—Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12—with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, whom he was married to from 2005 to 2015. Meanwhile, Lopez shares 16-year-old twins, Emme and Max, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.
Despite the divorce, it has been reported that the two stars continue to have “a mutual respect for one another,” which is “not something that goes away” overnight. “Obviously things haven’t been the same, but they have a lot of history,” the source added, underscoring their enduring bond.
Affleck and Lopez have also shown their commitment to co-parenting in public. Just last week, the ex-spouses made a joint appearance with Garner at their children’s school play, further proving their ability to co-parent in harmony. This rare show of unity speaks volumes about their focus on providing a stable environment for their blended family, regardless of their personal differences.
The couple, who married in 2021, have remained committed to ensuring that their children’s well-being comes first, demonstrating the importance of maintaining a supportive relationship for their family’s sake. Despite their recent split, both Affleck and Lopez are dedicated to staying connected for the sake of their kids.
