LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who wed in a high-profile ceremony last year, have recently been living separate lives, with Lopez spending time in Europe and the Hamptons, while Affleck focuses on his work in Los Angeles.

Their children—Violet, Seraphina, Samuel, Max, and Emme—have also been divided between them and Jennifer Garner, Affleck's ex-wife, in Los Angeles.

Daily Mail reports that the couple's five children have been actively working behind the scenes to reunite their parents. According to insiders, the kids perceive Lopez and Affleck as deeply in love and are committed to seeing them reconcile before Lopez's 55th birthday on July 24.

"The kids think Jennifer and Ben are really, deeply in love, like soul mates and they don't want them to divorce," an insider said.

"They want them to work it out for better or for worse, like their vows said. And they do feel that the two should continue counseling and talking it out, even if it is painful. "

"They feel like if they do and say the right things that there could be more peace." The kids are reportedly hoping that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez will reconcile before her 55th birthday on July 24, according to an insider.

"There is hope that they could all celebrate together for a mellow family party in Los Angeles," the source added.

The insider also mentioned that the children are actively emphasizing the positive qualities of both Affleck and Lopez to encourage them to find peace and possibly reunite.

"He is a prickly one, he can be grumpy, that is true for sure, he is not a happy go lucky kind of dude, even if he is very intelligent and funny. The kids are trying to get him to lighten up and let stuff go," added the insider.

The insider also revealed that Lopez has her flaws: "She needs to work less and relax more." According to the source, Marc Anthony, the father of her twins, has consistently advised her over the years to relax and enjoy life more.

Furthermore, the kids have another motive for wanting their parents back together: they all genuinely like each other and want to maintain their family bond. "The kids get along great, especially Emme and Fin; they are best friends and talk every day," the insider added.

There are mixed reactions to Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's children reportedly advocating for their parents' reconciliation amid their separation. Here's a glimpse into what people are saying online:

One user wrote, "Nothing like using your kids for PR as if they haven't been through enough. If these two are already calling it quits before 2 years of marriage there's no way they'll stay together for the long haul," while another user wrote, "There's no real reason to change anything at this stage. They have enough money to maintain distance until things die down and they can reassess whether they can compromise enough to be together. The kids are old enough to get on a plane and visit each other if that's what they want."

Another user said, "Jlo has always way overestimated her own value and worth to the industry. She doesn't have what it takes to keep up with new talented artists. She was lab created and her time is over."

"Hard to believe the kids care about them staying together. JLo always has to steal the show even with the kids. She walks ahead of them; also, she is so busy posting selfies and going here and there, do they even see her that much." a user said.
