After Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck split up in 2004 despite being engaged, the actor started dating Jennifer Garner. He marries her and has three children with her. Still, J.Lo, now the proud "Mrs. Affleck," bears no grudge against the ex.
Jennifer Lopez raves about her predecessor. Her husband Ben Affleck has a "wonderful" co-parenting relationship with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, the 53-year-old said in a "Vogue" interview. Her husband and Garner "work well together" in raising their children Violet, Seraphina and Samuel. Affleck and Garner have been officially divorced since 2018. Lopez married Affleck in July 2022.
Lopez herself has two children - 14-year-old twins Emme and Maximilian - with her ex-husband Marc Anthony. The reunification of the families "must be handled with so much care," the singer and actress told the magazine. Speaking of her children, she explained: "They have so many feelings. They're teenagers. But so far it's going very well."
Speaking to Vogue, she also revealed: "What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his children have a new ally in me and my children have a new ally in him. Someone who really loves them and himself caring for them but has a different perspective and can help me see things that I can't see in my children because I'm so emotionally attached."
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are dating for the second time. Her first relationship ended in 2004 after two years. Lopez was then married to Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014, Affleck to Jennifer Garner from 2005 to 2018. Lopez and Affleck eventually found each other again and tied the knot in Las Vegas over the summer. A few weeks later there was another wedding ceremony in Georgia where they celebrated with friends and family.
About how the two stars found each other again, says "Vogue": Shortly after Lopez and former baseball star Alex Rodriguez broke their engagement in early 2021, she received an email from Affleck, who was in a relationship ended with actress Ana de Armas. He apparently told her in the email that a magazine asked him to comment on Lopez.
They then continued talking and began to visit each other's homes. "Obviously we didn't want to go public," she told Vogue. "But I've never shied away from the fact that I've always felt like there's real love, true love. The people in my life know that he was a very, very special person in my life. As When we met again, those feelings were still very real to me."
Today, the singer is a proud "Mrs. Affleck." "People will continue to call me Jennifer Lopez, but my official name is Mrs. Affleck because we are connected," she told Vogue. "We're husband and wife. I'm proud of that." She can understand when married couples decide that the man takes the woman's surname. But she herself doesn't have the feeling that she has given up power or control: "I just find it romantic. It still transports tradition and romance to me and maybe I'm just that kind of woman."
