The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2021, has a large family that includes Affleck's three children with Jennifer Garner—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—as well as Lopez's twins, Max and Emme, from her previous marriage to Marc Anthony. Lopez showcased a chic yet comfortable look in a cosy cardigan paired with wide-leg jeans, while Affleck opted for a laid-back style featuring a peacoat and a tote filled with holiday presents.

The Daily Mail also reported that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck enjoyed a lunch together, cherishing moments with their children. The singer, known for her hit "Jenny From the Block," previously shared a touching message on social media, stating, "When all the kids get together for the holidays," while tagging her sister, Lynda Lopez. Additionally, she posted an Instagram video of her 16-year-old child, Emme, performing Justin Bieber’s “Beauty and a Beast.” Lynda, who has a close relationship with Ben’s daughter, Violet Affleck, is recognized for her strong friendship with the young actress.

Two years after their fairytale wedding in Georgia, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben on the anniversary of their nuptials.

"They have every intention of continuing to be in each other’s lives despite not being romantically involved," the source conveyed to Page Six.

Jennifer Lopez opens up about ‘struggles’ of single mom

In a recent discussion with Judy Robles, the mother of champion wrestler Anthony Robles, Jennifer Lopez candidly addressed the difficulties she encountered while portraying a resilient mother in the film Unstoppable. Reflecting on her personal journey, Lopez shared with British Vogue, “As a mother, one always strives to present the best version of oneself for one’s children, to uplift them — yet this does not exempt one from the human experience of struggle.”

“What made it thrilling for me as an actor was engaging with Anthony and your children, who expressed sentiments like, my mom is the best; she is always cheerful and brings joy and fun to everything. Then, conversing with you revealed the challenges faced,” she elaborated.

The singer and actress, who is a mother to twins Max and Emme with her former partner Marc Anthony, also discussed the insights she has gained as a single parent. In a previous interview with Entertainment Weekly, she disclosed that raising her children independently taught her that love and dedication are more than sufficient. Lopez admitted to experiencing the common concern of "Am I enough for them?" but underscored the profound impact that one loving parent can have.
