Ben Affleck 'hasn't been in touch' with Jennifer Lopez's children amid ongoing divorce, claims source
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ben Affleck reportedly hasn't been in contact with her estranged wife Jennifer Lopez's children amid their ongoing divorce.
The singer is the mother of 16-year-old twins Max and Emme, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony.
Ben Affleck allegedly maintains no relationship with Jennifer Lopez's children
A source told People that Jennifer Lopez remains close with Ben Affleck’s children — Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, whom he shares with his former wife, Jennifer Garner, amid their ongoing divorce.
However, the 'Gone Girl' star "has not been in touch" with Lopez's twins despite being close to them.
The insider shared, "[Jennifer] went out there and told the world what a great dad he was. The fact that he has not seen her kids in a long time, it’s like he left, but she is especially close to his kids."
Not only that, the tipster revealed that the 'On the Floor' hitmaker has also kept in touch with Anthony’s children from his previous relationship.
"She's also close to Marc's kids from [his] previous relationship. She keeps in touch with the children and she's a good mom," revealed the source.
After months of speculation concerning their marital woes, Lopez filed for divorce in the Los Angeles County Superior Court on August 20 after two years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. She mentioned the date of separation as April 26, 2024.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are 'trying to be strong'
Another source stated that the soon-to-be-divorced couple "really loved each other — and it happened quickly."
They added, "They were really going to give it a try, and they did. These are two people who are in love with love, and who wouldn't jump into that? And the world wanted it."
Lopez was "very disappointed and sad, as Ben hasn't shown any signs of wanting to continue their marriage. He hasn't displayed any commitment or interest in making their relationship work. It's gotten to the point that she just needs to look out for herself."
As their divorce unfolds, the estranged pair is "trying to make this transition as easy as possible and be gentle on their children. They don't want to make things more upsetting than they already have been," as shared by one more source.
They asserted that Affleck and Lopez "are hoping to have clear, new, and healthy directions for themselves and for their families. They are trying to be strong, but it is a sad time for everyone, and it is difficult to have to deal with everything playing out publicly."
