Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been celebrated for successfully blending their families with their ex-spouses, creating a harmonious and supportive environment for their children. The couple has been raising their five children together—three from Affleck’s previous marriage to Jennifer Garner, and two from Lopez’s prior marriage to Marc Anthony. Now, it seems Lopez and Affleck might be welcoming a new addition to their family.
According to a recent report, Jennifer Lopez has been keen on having a child with Ben Affleck through surrogacy, a topic she’s been enthusiastic about for some time. Insiders reveal that Lopez has been discussing the idea “nonstop” and has finally convinced Affleck to agree. A source shared with Life & Style via Yahoo that Lopez’s persistence paid off, and Affleck agreed because he loves kids and ultimately wants Jennifer to be happy.
The source noted, “She nagged him until he went along with it. Ben was completely happy with the blended family they already have—but he loves kids, that’s why he agreed to having another.” The couple is now reportedly considering surrogacy, with Lopez involved in every detail of the process, including interviewing surrogate candidates and attending doctor’s appointments.
However, while Affleck is on board, he’s realizing the commitment involved and the potential chaos that comes with adding a new family member. “It’s just going to get more hectic!” the source noted.
For context, Affleck has three children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner: Violet, born in December 2005; Seraphina, born in January 2009; and Samuel, born in February 2012. Lopez has twins, Maximilian and Emme, born in February 2008, with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Adding another child to their family through surrogacy could mean more love and also more logistical challenges as they juggle busy careers and parenting responsibilities.
