Family drama, relationship complications, and media heckling, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s journey to building a family has been no easy one. Lopez and Ben Affleck tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022, one year after confirming their romance at the height of their respective splits from ex-partners Jenifer Garner and Alex Rodrigo, respectively. Long before that, the two lived out their Bennifer 1.0 in their youths.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Enjoy Blended Family Outing
Their latest blended family outing with Jennifer Garner and both their kids has brought some unsettling details about their family dynamics to light. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck stepped out recently to join Garner and Affleck’s kids at a school musical. Lopez’s daughter Emme tagged along with the couple, while Garner was accompanied by her two youngest kids Seraphina and Samuel. Making their grand appearance, the blended family rolled in coordinated outfits, easily becoming the center of attention for reasons far exceeding their fame.
After the event, the family stepped out in style with satisfied looks on their faces suggesting they had a swell time. However, keen eyes quickly caught on some signs that suggested otherwise, labeling it an awkward family moment. In photos from their outing, Jennifer Garner appeared reluctant to walk alongside her ex-husband and the crooner, keeping a good distance from them. The 13 Going on 30 star walked in front of the party, pulling her kids Samuel and Seraphina along. Meanwhile, Lopez and Affleck strolled casually behind them, alongside Emme.
What the Latest Outing Says About Them
Garner and Affleck’s oldest daughter, Violet, as well as Lopez’s son Max, appeared absent from the event as they were not pictured. Notably, insiders previously weighed in on the family dynamics in the wake of Ben Affleck’s rekindled relationship with Jennifer Lopez. These reports claim the trio have embraced their new blended family, with the kids getting along well. While the lack of interaction between them in photographs taken outside the venue of their latest outing is a far cry from these assertions, the coordinated outfits fit the image of blended family goals.
The outing comes amid whispers that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had trouble in paradise, with occasional videos of their supposed confrontations going viral. The pair first hit it off in 2002 after co-starring on Gigli. They became engaged that same year but never made it to the altar. Following his 2004 highly-publicized split from Lopez, Ben Affleck tied the knot with Jennifer Garner, welcoming three children Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. Meanwhile, Lopez married Marc Anthony, welcoming twins Emme and Max. It’s good to see them getting along as one big blended family despite the complications.
