At their son Samuel’s graduation, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who revived their relationship recently, deliberately maintained a respectful distance. The two, who share three children, chose to sit apart during the festivities, showcasing their focus on their children’s welfare.
According to someone with knowledge of the situation, both parents aim to “keep things as normal as possible for the kids” and have committed to jointly managing their parenting responsibilities. The source also mentioned, “They’ve been getting on well and are in a good position, but they have not reconciled romantically.”
Since their engagement in 2002, which was called off days before the wedding, and subsequent separation in 2004, both Affleck and Lopez have moved on with other partners. Lopez was married to Marc Anthony, father to her twins, Emme and Max, while Affleck wed Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children, Samuel, Seraphina, and Violet.
While there’s been recent speculation about Affleck and Lopez due to their appearances together, their current focus remains on being exceptional co-parents, putting romantic possibilities aside.
During the graduation, held outdoors under health safety guidelines including social distancing and mask-wearing due to COVID-19, Lopez opted for a chic white ensemble, while Affleck was dressed in a blue suit complemented with sunglasses.
Even from a distance, the cordial exchanges of smiles and warm greetings between Lopez and Affleck were noticeable. It’s evident that despite their past, their respect and affection for one another endure, anchored by a mutual dedication to their children’s interests.
