Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck may have ended their marriage earlier this year, but insiders say the former couple remain on good terms while making sure their children continue to share a close relationship.
A source close to Affleck, 53, told People magazine that “things between Ben and Jennifer are good” and emphasized that “even though they’re not together anymore, they’ve stayed on friendly terms.”
The blended family dynamic, which once drew widespread attention during their marriage, has reportedly continued in a positive direction even after the pair finalized their divorce in January. Lopez’s 17-year-old twins, Max and Emme, and Affleck’s children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner — Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13 — remain connected.
“The kids are still really close,” the Affleck source said. “They have the same groups of friends, they see each other, and they talk all the time. They make sure the kids know they get along.”
Both Lopez and Affleck are said to be committed to maintaining a sense of stability and support for their families despite their split. “The most important thing to both of them is raising their kids in a supportive environment, so they plan to stay in each other’s lives,” the insider explained.
Lopez and Affleck’s relationship has been one of Hollywood’s most closely watched romances, with its beginnings dating back to the early 2000s. After calling off their first engagement in 2004, the two rekindled their love nearly two decades later, marrying in 2022.
However, their second attempt at marriage ended two years later, with the divorce finalized at the start of 2025. Despite the breakup, Lopez, 55, continues to show affection for Affleck’s children. A source close to the singer-actress said, “She’s a great mom and always gave Ben’s kids the same love.
Even though her contact with Ben is now more sporadic, they make sure the kids can spend time together whenever they want.” Observers note that this approach echoes both stars’ stated priorities in recent years — focusing on family above fame and ensuring their children feel supported through transitions.
By maintaining cooperation and goodwill, Lopez and Affleck appear determined to prevent their split from disrupting the bonds built between their kids. For fans who followed the pair’s reunion, marriage, and eventual separation, the continued friendship offers a rare example of a high-profile breakup handled with civility. While Lopez and Affleck move forward in their personal lives separately, their blended family remains a unifying force.
