Ben Affleck's daughter Violet tries to save his marriage to stepmom Jennifer Lopez with sweet gesture

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Violet Affleck, the 18-year-old daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, is making headlines for her efforts to save her father’s marriage to Jennifer Lopez, as reported by The Daily Mail.

Over the weekend, Violet was spotted donning a Dolce & Gabbana dress that Lopez famously wore on a Valentine’s Day date with Ben last year. The choice was more than just a fashion statement, it was a symbol of her close bond with Lopez and her deep sadness over their impending divorce.

Sources close to the family reveal that Violet was “heartbroken” by the split between her father and the iconic singer. Although she didn’t live with them full-time, Violet had formed a strong bond with Lopez, making the separation hard for her to handle. By wearing the dress, Violet clearly signaled that she still hopes for a reconciliation between her father and Lopez.

"Violet does wish her dad Ben would stay with JLo," the source stated. "She wasn’t living in their house and did not see the extent of the breakdown, but she got extremely close to JLo over the past couple of years and it broke her heart when they split."

"She is not going to stop talking to JLo and recently enjoyed time in the Hamptons with her," the source added. "Wearing her soon-to-be former stepmom’s Valentine’s Day dress was a bit of a statement - she knew what she was doing. Those close to her thought it was bizarre."

Violet recently spent time with Lopez in the Hamptons and continues to maintain a close relationship with her, even amid the family turmoil. Her public appearance in the dress has sparked speculation about her intentions, with some insiders suggesting that Violet is championing a reunion between Ben and JLo.

Despite her efforts, sources indicate that Ben remains neutral, respecting his daughter’s relationships while understanding that her actions won’t influence the course of his divorce.

The source further said, "Ben is neither bothered or unbothered by Violet’s closeness with JLo, as Violet is an adult and can have relationships with anyone she chooses. Unfortunately for her, wearing JLo’s dress in public is not going to affect Ben’s divorce at all."

Another source mentioned that Violet has been strongly advocating for them to reunite, noting, "Violet is a Daddy's girl and a family first person and is best friends with JLo's kids. She considers them her sister and brother."

"Ben has been so amazing to Max and Emmie and is a wonderful father and father figure so of course they would all love for their parents to find a way to be together."

The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2021 and married in July 2022, share five children from previous relationships. Their blended family has been central to their lives, with their children playing significant roles in their wedding and subsequent honeymoon.

However, reports of marital issues have surfaced in recent months, with Ben reportedly moving out of their shared home and into a separate residence.

Violet Affleck's efforts to save Ben and JLo's marriage spark online debate

Violet Affleck's public attempts to mend her father Ben Affleck’s marriage to Jennifer Lopez have ignited a lively discussion online.

The 18-year-old’s choice to wear a dress previously worn by Lopez, and her continued closeness with her estranged stepmother, have been seen by many as a sign of her desire to keep the family together. However, this has also led to mixed reactions from social media users.

One commenter expressed concern for Violet, saying, "She's 18 and still a child in many ways. I strongly suspect there's a spectrum diagnosis. Wish the media would leave her alone and let her parents and therapists guide her."

Another pointed out that Violet should be focusing on her future, noting, "The mask, the dress, the vacation with the stepmom... Violet should be focusing on what she wants to do with her own life now that she graduated high school. College... charity... content... she has so many advantages and choices in front of her."

That’s not her job. Children can’t fix adult problems, nor should they have to!" one user remarked.

Another user added, "Ben knows what he wants to do, doubt Violet has battled to help save their marriage and it's up to Violet if she wants to stay in touch with Jennifer L." [sic]

Some users also criticized the impact of Ben and JLo's relationship on Violet, with one stating, "This is what the outcome can be when you drag kids through a series of relationships. Focus on raising your kids without indulging in marriages and revolving doors of men/women."
