Jennifer Lopez, aged 54, recently took to Instagram to commemorate Father’s Day by sharing a tribute to her partner, Justice League actor Ben Affleck, on Sunday, June 16.
In a heartfelt gesture, Lopez posted a photo of Affleck on her Instagram Stories to celebrate the occasion. Shortly after, she also honored her own father, highlighting the significance of family on this special day.
The tribute followed the couple’s attendance at a graduation party for Affleck’s son Samuel, held in Brentwood, California, where they were joined by Affleck’s former wife, Jennifer Garner. Despite recent rumors of marital strain, Lopez and Affleck appeared united, both wearing their wedding rings as they celebrated Samuel’s milestone.
Their public display comes amidst ongoing scrutiny over the status of their relationship, with reports suggesting they remain amicable despite challenges. A source, speaking exclusively to PEOPLE, described their joint attendance at a recent basketball game as a “good sign” of reconciliation.
Ben Affleck, who shares children Violet and Seraphina with Jennifer Garner, plays a significant role as a stepfather to Lopez’s 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme. Lopez, on the other hand, welcomed her twins during her previous marriage to Marc Anthony.
The couple’s public acknowledgment of each other on Father’s Day underscores their commitment to blending their families despite the complexities that come with high-profile relationships. As they navigate public attention and personal challenges, their joint celebrations and tributes reflect a shared dedication to family and mutual respect.
