AceShowbiz - On November 3, Lynda Lopez, the 53-year-old sister of Jennifer Lopez, shared a sweet photo with Violet Affleck on Instagram following her visit to the 18-year-old at Yale University.
The selfie captures the duo smiling as Violet snaps a picture in a Patagonia puffer jacket while Lynda rests a hand on her shoulder. Lynda captioned the photo with the message, "New Haven with my favorite Yalie! 💙."
This visit comes after Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Violet's father, Ben Affleck, in August. Despite the separation, it appears that the families have remained close, as Lynda's visit and Violet's previous outings with Jennifer Lopez suggest.
A month before divorce filing, Violet and Jennifer Lopez were spotted enjoying a bike ride and walking arm-in-arm in the Hamptons. Despite tensions in J.Lo and Affleck's marriage at the time, a source stated that Lopez and Violet "really enjoy each other's company."
Earlier this year, Lopez also shared a video on Instagram Stories of her and Violet having a summer car ride, with Violet and her friend peering out the window while Lopez beamed in the front seat. Violet was even seen wearing Lopez's dress last summer.
The "On the Floor" singer is also close to Affleck's other kids. The estranged couple reunited when they took their children to a family brunch in September.
Violet, whom Affleck shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, began her freshman year at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, in September. She was sent off to college by both her mom and dad at the time.
The close relationship between Lynda Lopez and Violet Affleck highlights the family's commitment to maintaining connections despite life changes. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck continue to prioritize their children's well-being, and the bonds between the extended family members remain strong.
