Crushing coparenting! Jennifer Lopez opened up about her and Ben Affleck‘s blended family — and couldn’t keep from raving over his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
The Hustlers actress, 53, revealed in her December 2022 Vogue cover story that Affleck and the Juno star, both 50, are a dream team when it comes to their kids: Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10. “[She’s] an amazing coparent, and they work really well together,” Lopez told the outlet.
Garner and the Oscar winner were married for 10 years before announcing their split in 2015. Three years later, their divorce was finalized. The “Let’s Get Loud” artist, for her part, shares twins Emme and Max, 14, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
“The transition is a process that needs to be handled with so much care,” the Grammy nominee said of blending her and Affleck’s families together following their July wedding. “They have so many feelings. They’re teens. But it’s going really well so far.”
She continued: “What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his kids have a new ally in me and my kids have a new ally in him, someone who really loves and cares about them but can have a different perspective and help me see things that I can’t see with my kids because I’m so emotionally tied up.”
The Gone Girl actor and Lopez were previously engaged in the early 2000s, rekindling their romance nearly two decades after their 2004 split. Us Weekly confirmed in May 2021 that Affleck and the Shotgun Wedding actress were “full-on dating” after she ended her engagement to Alex Rodriguez earlier that year. Affleck proposed in April, and the twosome exchanged vows in a surprise Las Vegas ceremony three months later. In August, they celebrated their love once again with friends and family in
