It has come to light that Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner are a team regarding their kids bond.
The two women’s lives became intertwined when Lopez, 54, wed Ben Affleck in 2022. Garner, 51, shares daughters Violet, 18, and Seraphina, 15, and son Samuel, 11, with Affleck, 51, whom she was married to from 2005 to 2018.
“Jennifer, Jen and Ben have had a great relationship for quite some time now,” as per Us Weekly of the trio. “They know there are going to be plenty of times they’ll all be attending the same events together, whether that’s school performances, sports, etc.”
Although Lopez and Affleck haven’t welcomed any children together, Lopez shares twins Emme and Max, 15, with ex-husband Marc Anthony. The singer’s kids have formed a bond with Garner and Affleck’s children, and the three coparents work together to make sure the step-siblings get to spend time together.
“They communicate rather frequently when it comes to their kids, scheduling plans, etc. They know the ones who benefit the most are the children and that’s all they care about,” the insider shares. “They have a mutual respect for each other as parents and know how well all their kids get along. They want to foster and nurture those relationships and will do whatever it takes to show their support.”
The source adds that there is no bad blood between Affleck and Garner, noting that “anything that’s happened in the past is water under the bridge” at this point. “It’s genuinely a copacetic situation all around.”
Affleck was previously engaged to Lopez before he and Garner tied the knot. The twosome first started dating in 2002, getting engaged later that year. They called off their engagement in 2004.
