AceShowbiz - Despite the news of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's divorce, their five children are reportedly taking it well. "His kids are taking it fine as are hers," a source close to the situation told Page Six. "Everybody is ready to move on."
Jennifer Lopez shares twins Max and Emme, 16, with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Ben Affleck shares Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. After Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance in 2021, their children spent time together at amusement parks, shopping malls, and vacations.
Although Lopez was initially upset about how the breakup would affect their children, sources say they are all ready to move forward. "There are five kids involved in this," one source previously said. "She knew they were going to blend families. She has not fully accepted it is over."
The former couple filed for divorce on August 20, 2024, after two years of marriage. Lopez cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split. The divorce came two years after their lavish Georgia wedding ceremony. In July, they had listed their marital estate for sale, with Lopez vacationing in Italy and the Hamptons while Affleck worked in Los Angeles.
Despite the separation, Lopez has spent quality time with Affleck's children. She has stepped out with Violet and gone shopping with Samuel. Sources say that Lopez "was done waiting" and is heartbroken but is prioritizing her children. Affleck, who recently celebrated his 52nd birthday with his kids, is reportedly also ready to "move on."
