Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck will be wrapping up the two-year marriage, but they seem far from stopping the joint festive moments. After a Thanksgiving spent by Affleck with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and skipping an opportunity to spend the day with Lopez on that occasion, the two were spotted exchanging their Christmas gifts at Soho House in Los Angeles on December 22, putting personal differences aside and celebrating the holiday. As reported by photos by Daily Mail, the couple was celebrating their blended family back in 2021, consisting of Affleck’s three children with Garner: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, as well as Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme, from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony.
The two lovebirds, who reignited their romance in 2021, spent time having lunch together and playing with their kids. She also shared the most heartwarming Instagram post, “When all the kids come together for the holidays” with the caption, where her sister Lynda Lopez featured. Lynda has bonded very closely with Ben’s Violet and is her closest friend as well. Lopez also posted a short video of her 16-year-old daughter Emme singing Justin Bieber’s “Beauty and a Beast.”
Even though they separated, Lopez and Affleck agreed to remain supportive co-parents to one another and see where the other’s lives were heading. According to an insider, even if the former pair is no longer together, the two will still maintain an excellent relationship with each other. “They have every intention of continuing to be in each other’s lives despite not being romantically involved,” said the source.
In a recent interview with Judy Robles, mother of wrestler Anthony Robles, Lopez discussed her role as a strong mother in the film Unstoppable. Reflecting on her experience, Lopez shared that being a mom means striving to put your best foot forward for your children, even while dealing with personal struggles. “You always want to lift them up, but that doesn’t stop you from being a human being who struggles,” she said. Lopez also shared lessons she learned as a single mom, saying raising her twins taught her that love and effort are more than enough. The common worry is not being enough for the children, but Lopez emphasizes that one loving parent can make all the difference.
