Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who revived their relationship last year, chose to stay discreet and keep apart during their son Samuel’s graduation ceremony. The former partners, who share custody of their three children, opted to sit separately to ensure the event focused primarily on their children’s comfort and privacy.
A confidant familiar with the matter mentioned that Lopez and Affleck mutually decided that maintaining a distance between them at the event was prudent. Their primary concern was to keep the spotlight on their son’s accomplishments rather than on any personal dynamics between them.
Lopez was at the event accompanied by her mother, Guadalupe Rodríguez, while Affleck brought along his mother, Christopher Anne Boldt. They sat on opposite ends of the venue, maintaining a respectful distance throughout.
While Lopez and Affleck have appeared together publicly several times after renewing their romance, they have exercised caution during public events involving their children. They are committed to balancing well between their public lives and the well-being of their children.
The celebration focused on Samuel, who just completed middle school, with both of his parents and other family members in attendance to celebrate his milestone. Although Lopez and Affleck were physically distant, their mutual support and affection for their son were clearly visible.
The duo, engaged back in 2002 but called off their wedding, have stayed friendly since parting ways in 2004. Their ongoing commitment to prioritizing their children’s well-being and happiness was evident throughout Samuel’s graduation day.
