Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s children continue to be their top priority, even as the couple navigates a public divorce. The 55-year-old “Jenny From the Block” singer recently filed for divorce from the 52-year-old “Batman” actor, as confirmed by multiple sources. The filing, dated August 20, marks a significant step in their relationship, coming over two years after their marriage in July 2022. Despite the official separation date listed as April 26, Lopez and Affleck’s commitment to their five children remains unwavering.
Affleck and his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, share three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12. Lopez has 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her former husband, Marc Anthony. According to an exclusive source, the children have always been a top priority for both Lopez and Affleck. “The kids are a top priority, as they always have been,” the insider revealed.
Lopez has continued to maintain a close bond with Affleck’s children, spending time with them even after the separation was announced. Recently, she was seen visiting Affleck’s rental home in Brentwood, where she took Samuel to the mall. Both Lopez and Garner attended Samuel’s graduation ceremony and celebration in June, and Lopez was also spotted enjoying time with Violet in the Hamptons.

In addition, Lopez has been involved in various family activities. In May, she joined Affleck and Garner at Violet’s high school graduation. During the summer, Lopez focused on spending quality time with Affleck’s children before the new school year begins, including celebrating Samuel’s birthday and attending his graduation party.
Despite the couple’s separation, the source emphasized Lopez’s continued dedication to Affleck’s kids. “Just because she’s not with Ben doesn’t mean that she doesn’t care about his kids,” the insider said. “She always cared about them… She spent months looking for the perfect house for their blended family last year.”
Lopez’s actions reflect her commitment to maintaining strong relationships with her stepchildren, showing that their well-being remains a central concern amid the personal changes in her life.
