Ben Affleck has mostly kept to himself since divorcing Jennifer Lopez.
Despite his usual preference for privacy, Ben Affleck has been troubled by persistent rumors. In a surprising move, he has addressed these rumors directly, seeking to dispel misunderstandings.
In the summer of 2024, reports claimed that Affleck split from Jennifer Lopez and parted ways with her teen twins, Max and Emme.
During Lopez’s courtship and marriage to Affleck, the Batman star became a father figure to Max and Emme. This was evident in his presence at all important milestones and holidays, including birthdays and graduations.
Ben Affleck’s frequent outings with the children, often spotted shopping together, are a testament to their close bond and shared moments of joy.
In her heartfelt Father’s Day posts, Jennifer Lopez confirmed that Ben Affleck was a wonderful dad to her kids, a sentiment he deeply appreciates.
Lopez stopped mentioning the twins’ biological father, Marc Anthony and praised Affleck as the ideal stepfather.
However, since the divorce, a reliable source told Page Six that Affleck has stopped spending time with Max and Emme.
Some suggested that he cut ties with the twins. Rumors about his relationship with Jennifer Lopez’s children seem to trouble him, and he felt the need to set the record straight.
This week, Ben Affleck did a brief interview to promote his latest movie and explained that he is still close to Max and Emme.
He went to drop the news that they attended the premiere with him. He told Entertainment Tonight: “For the record, Jennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, great ongoing relationship with them. I love her kids. They’re wonderful. She’s [an] enormously important, tremendous person of a lot of integrity who I adore and am grateful to.”
Seventeen-year-old twins Max and Emme were joined by Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner‘s three children — Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13.
The Oscar-winning star also hinted that he and Lopez are on good terms. He said: “It’s a great night. The kids are here, Jen‘s kids are here. I’m very, very excited. I’m proud of the movie, I love the movie and I love when all the kids come out. It’s really fun, it’s exciting. I’m thrilled that the kids are here with me. The relationships that you can have with children like that are the joy of my life. And those kids are amazing, and I’m glad that this is a movie they want to come to.”
The Daily Mail has revealed that Jennifer Lopez has been forced to cut ties with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s oldest daughter, Violet Affleck.
The reports of strained relationships are unfounded, and the blended family is thriving.
Affleck is hoping Lopez will, at some point, reveal the truth about the relationship with Violet.
