‘They Have Every Intention’: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s Real Plans as Kids Face Divorce Talks

Despite their recent split, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez reportedly intend to remain in contact to co-parent their children effectively. According to a source who spoke to Page Six, the former couple is committed to maintaining communication, and prioritizing the well-being of their blended family.

“They have every intention of continuing to be in each other’s lives despite not being romantically involved,” the insider revealed. Another source further confirmed, “Ben and Jennifer are still connected, and they do communicate when it involves their kids.”

The news comes amid reports of tension between Lopez and Affleck over his close relationship with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. A Heat World report suggested that Lopez struggled with Affleck’s continued reliance on Garner, particularly during their marriage.

“Jen felt threatened by Jennifer for almost all of her marriage,” an insider claimed. What reportedly frustrated Lopez most was “the way Ben would run to [Garner] for advice any time they had a fight,” a habit that “drove her crazy.”

While Affleck’s relationship with Garner, the mother of his three children, has been a consistent factor, the insider noted that Lopez is trying to focus on what matters most: maintaining harmony for their blended families.

“All Jen can do is hope that his conscience kicks in and he realizes their blended family should still be a priority,” the source added.

Affleck and Lopez, who rekindled their relationship in 2021 and tied the knot in 2022, have faced persistent public scrutiny. Their breakup earlier this year marked the end of their highly publicized second attempt at love, following their initial engagement in the early 2000s.

Despite their romantic split, their commitment to their respective children remains clear. Lopez shares twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares three kids—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—with Garner.

As the dust settles on their separation, both stars appear determined to foster a respectful and cooperative relationship, placing their children’s needs above all else. While rumors swirl about lingering tensions, the pair’s reported willingness to stay connected demonstrates their dedication to family unity beyond their marriage.
