Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are allegedly closer than ever to announcing their divorce. The couple got married in 2022 after first falling in love in the early 2000s. Lopez and Ben love having a blended family, as Ben’s three kids, which he shares with Jennifer Garner, get along well with Lopez’s twins, which she shares with Marc Anthony. Lopez became very close with Ben’s oldest daughter, Violet Affleck. Recently, Violet was seen wearing a dress that Lopez once wore despite rumors of her dad and stepmom splitting.

Violet Affleck and Jennifer Lopez seem to have an excellent relationship. Lopez stepped into the role of stepmom for Ben Affleck’s three kids: Violet, 18, Fin Affleck, 15, and Samuel Affleck, 12. She seems to get along well with all of Ben’s children. And her twins, Max and Emme, 16, found friendship with the Affleck kids. However, Lopez and Violet have a special bond.

Lopez and Violet were spotted shopping together in New York over the summer of 2024. The duo were spotted arm-in-arm in the Hamptons. Meanwhile, Ben stayed on the opposite coast in Los Angeles.

In August 2024, Violet stepped out in a look that Lopez fans have seen before. She wore a pink-and-white chiffon Dolce & Gabbana dress that Lopez wore while on a Valentine’s Day date with Ben in 2023. The dress features long sleeves and a wrap neckline. Violet paired the look with crew socks and red and white sneakers. When Lopez wore the dress, she paired it with gold platform sandals, a gold purse, and a white Dolce & Gabbana belt.

Violet stepping out in Lopez’s dress speaks to how she looks up to her stepmom no matter the media’s claims.

Why Ben Affleck Hasn’t Pulled the Divorce Trigger With Jennifer Lopez Yet

Violet Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have a bond that won’t easily be broken if Lopez and Ben Affleck get divorced. An insider told Entertainment Tonight that Ben supports Lopez and his daughter in spending quality time together.

“Ben certainly doesn’t want to cause any strain between Jen and Violet, and he is in support of them spending time together,” the source said. “It’s a little tricky for him, but both Jen and Ben want all their kids to be happy, regardless of the issues they are facing in their marriage.”

The source added that Ben and Lopez hope to have “healthy directions” for their families as they move on separately.

“They are trying to sell their home sooner than later and want to move forward; they are hoping to have clear, new, and healthy directions for themselves and for their families,” the source claimed. “They are trying to be strong, but it is a sad time for everyone, and it is difficult to have to deal with everything playing out publicly.”

J.Lo wants to spend ‘quality time’ with all of the kids before school starts

Jennifer Lopez spent most of her 2024 summer season in New York. However, she’s back in LA in August 2024. A source told People that she stopped by Ben Affleck’s rental property in Brentwood. She then took his son, Samuel Affleck, to the mall. The insider noted that Lopez has “always cared” about all of their kids and hopes to spend time with them before the school year starts.

“Just because she’s not with Ben doesn’t mean that she doesn’t care about his kids,” the source explained.

“She always cared about them,” they continued. “She spent months looking for the perfect house for their blended family last year. Now, when she’s back in LA, she wants to spend quality time with them before school resumes and Violet is off to college.”
