Jennifer Lopez continues to maintain a close relationship with Ben Affleck’s children, despite ongoing breakup rumors.

The pop icon has been spotted frequently spending time with her stepchildren, emphasizing her role as a devoted stepmother even as speculation swirls about her relationship with Affleck.

Jennifer Lopez’s close relationship with stepkids

Over the past few months, Lopez has been seen enjoying various outings with Affleck’s children, including shopping sprees, holidays, and casual strolls.

Recently, she was photographed in Beverly Hills with 12-year-old Samuel Affleck, one of Ben’s three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

The pair were seen leaving a luxury department store with Samuel clutching a shopping bag from Creed fragrances, showcasing the bond Lopez has nurtured with her stepchildren.

This latest outing follows a series of appearances where Lopez has been spotted with Ben’s children, often without Affleck himself.

Whether it’s taking Samuel on a shopping trip or lending her designer dresses to 18-year-old Violet Affleck, Lopez has remained a constant presence in the lives of Affleck’s kids, even as rumors of a potential split between her and Ben continue to surface.

According to insiders, Lopez is struggling to let go of her role as stepmother, despite the challenges in her marriage.

Sources close to the couple reveal that Lopez has not fully accepted that her relationship with Affleck may be over, with the children playing a significant role in her emotional struggle.

“She knew they were going to blend families, and she’s holding onto that bond,” an insider shared with the Daily Mail.

Jennifer Lopez’ special bond with Violet Affleck

Lopez’s connection with her stepchildren is evident in her actions.

Just before her Beverly Hills outing with Samuel, Violet was seen wearing one of Lopez’s Dolce & Gabbana dresses during a lunch outing with Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme.

This wasn’t an isolated incident, as Lopez has been known to lend her designer outfits to Violet, highlighting the trust and closeness between them.

Earlier in the summer, Lopez was also seen on holiday in The Hamptons, sharing a relaxed moment with Violet as they strolled through the town, again without Affleck.

These public displays of affection for her stepchildren suggest that Lopez is committed to maintaining her bond with them, even as her marriage appears to be on shaky ground.

The couple, who tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in July 2022, have reportedly faced increasing tension, leading to rumors that they are living separately.

Affleck, 51, is believed to have moved into a $20.5 million bachelor pad in Brentwood, while Lopez remains in the couple’s $60 million Bel Air mansion with their blended family.

Despite the growing distance between the couple, Lopez continues to ensure that Ben’s children feel her love and support.

As the future of their relationship remains uncertain, Lopez’s actions speak to her deep affection for her stepchildren and her desire to keep the family unit as close-knit as possible.
