In times of crisis, it’s family that gives Ben Affleck strength. While rumors persist about his split from Jennifer Lopez, he’s enjoying time with his children.
It’s become a rare sight: Ben Affleck, 51, not only smiles but laughs heartily. However, his good mood isn’t due to wife Jennifer Lopez, 54, but his children Violet, 18, and Fin, 15.
Ben Affleck enjoys quality time with his kids
He spends American Independence Day on July 4, 2024, with them in Los Angeles. Photos show the actor and director unusually cheerful having breakfast with his loved ones in Santa Monica. They sit at a table outside on the street, chatting animatedly and joking together. Son Samuel, 12, is apparently not with them.
It’s another important day that Ben and Jennifer spend apart. While he enjoys quality time with family, JLo is thousands of kilometers away in the Hamptons, New York State. Paparazzi catch her shopping for plants with her manager Benny Medina, dressed in a floral blouse, beige trousers, and a straw hat. The 54-year-old doesn’t seem as cheerful as her soon-to-be ex-husband on the other side of the country. However, one detail stands out: she’s wearing her wedding ring.
Ben Affleck’s and Jennifer Lopez’s marriage “has been over for months”
Ben Affleck has also put his ring back on when he strolls through L.A. for dinner with Violet and Fin on Wednesday evening, July 3, lovingly putting his arm around his 18-year-old daughter, who closely resembles her mother Jennifer Garner, 52.
According to “Daily Mail,” Jennifer Lopez landed in New York City on Monday, shortly after an insider told “Page Six” that her marriage to Ben Affleck has been “over for months.” Divorce is already being discussed. The “Argo” star has also moved out of their shared $60 million estate in Beverly Hills, which is now up for sale. They reportedly plan to sell joint purchases like valuable artworks as well.
