If thereâs one thing we know for sure about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, itâs that they were 100 percent serious when they spoke about blending their families. On April 16, Affleck took all the kidsâhis three and Lopezâs twoâto the premiere of his new movie, The Accountant 2. And it gets even sweeter when you hear what he had to say about it.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet, Affleck first took a moment to praise his ex-wife. âJennifer Lopez is spectacular, great to my kids, has a great ongoing relationship with them,â he said. âI love her kids, theyâre wonderful.â He continued, calling Lopez a âtremendousâ person with âa lot of integrity,â who he adores and is grateful to. He was then equally adorable when talking about bringing all the kids to the movie.
âI am thrilled that the kids are here with me,â Affleck said. âThe relationships that you have with childrenâlike, thatâs the joy of my life. And those kids are amazing and Iâm glad that this is a movie they wanted to come to.â
The fact that Affleck and Lopez have been committed to staying close with each otherâs kids has been evident since the early days of the divorce rumors. In August of 2024, Lopez was seen shopping with Affleckâs son, Samuel, and, meanwhile, his daughter Violet was spotted wearing a dress she very well may have borrowed from Lopezâs closet.
Since the divorce, Affleck and Lopez have had nothing but kind things to say about one another, perhaps in part for the sake of their combined five kids. âThey want to show the kids that things are amicable,â a source told People in September 2024. âThey want to stay friendly. Thereâs still a lot of love.â
