It’s been a rocky few months for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck. The power couple, who’ve captivated us with their whirlwind romance, are reportedly on the verge of divorce. What makes this situation even more poignant? Their kids have stepped in, offering their thoughts on the matter.
Kids Playing Peacemakers
A source recently told the Daily Mail that while J.Lo and Ben Affleck are on the verge of divorce, their five children are not giving up on the love story. Jennifer, mom to 16-year-old twins Max and Emme, and Ben, dad to Violet (18), Seraphina (15), and Samuel (12), are being urged by their children to reconcile. “The kids believe Jen and Ben are soulmates and want them to stay together,” the source revealed. “They think if they say and do the right things, there could be more peace.”
Apparently, the kids were hoping for a reunion just in time for Jennifer Lopez’s 55th birthday on July 24. They’re even dreaming of a big family celebration in Los Angeles. “They want all the good vibes to bring Jen and Ben back to each other,” the insider added.
Even though Ben’s moodiness is a factor, the kids aren’t deterred. “Yes, he’s irritable and grumpy sometimes, but he can also be very funny and intelligent,” the source clarified. “The kids want him to relax.” They have advice for their mom too. “She needs to take it easy and work less,” they reportedly said.
Anyone familiar with this blended family knows Emme and Seraphina (now Fin) are best friends. They talk daily and want their parents to stay together. “The kids tell Jen and Ben not to give up,” shared the source.
J.Lo and Ben Affleck: Once a Happy Family
Just last year, Jennifer Lopez gushed about their blended family on the Today show. “My kids love Ben. He’s a fantastic father figure to Max and Emme,” she said. She wasn’t shy about praising the actor for stepping up to the plate.
In past Vogue interviews, she emphasized that despite their teenage tumult, things seemed to be going well. “I hope we can cultivate a sense of unity where his kids see an ally in me and my kids see one in him,” she explained.
Will the kids’ efforts bring J.Lo and Ben back together? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain—their children are determined to keep their family united.
