How Jennifer Lopez Is Bonding With Ben Affleck's Daughter Despite Her Decision Not to Attend Lopez's Wedding

Ben and Jennifer took the world by storm when getting married for the second time last year. And it caused a little bit of trouble on the wedding day when Violet Affleck, Ben's daughter chose not to attend their wedding. Relationships often make headlines in Hollywood and this was not an exception. The former power couple in the Entertainment business, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have three kids together: Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel. They were married for ten years, but like many well-known marriages, it had its problems and ended in divorce in 2018.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Lopez, an iconic singer in showbiz, has her own family story. She shares twins with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony: Max and Emme. Emme in particular has drawn attention due to both her illustrious family history and reports that she uses they/them pronouns, making a brave and encouraging statement about gender identity.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, who recently celebrated their first anniversary as a married couple, demonstrate how love and willpower can build a strong and harmonious blended family as they continue to travel this path together.

As they first attempted to make this work, Jennifer stated, “We moved in together, the kids moved in together, so it’s been like a really kind of emotional transition but at the same time, like, all your dreams coming true. It’s just been a phenomenal year. Like, my best year, I think, since my kids were born.”

Even though being a stepparent can be difficult, both of them give it their all, especially Jennifer, who is now developing a close relationship with her stepchildren. A source said, “Jennifer has made a big effort to get to know Ben’s kids and welcome them into her home and her life,” the insider reveals. “They have spent much time getting to know each other and letting the kids have fun and bond.”

The duo has recently appeared in public with Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's 17-year-old daughter, Violet. The teenage girl bears a candid resemblance to her mother and shares an unbreakable bond with her.

Still, when Lopez and Affleck started dating and finally got married, Violet didn't hesitate to fully embrace them. The young girl decided not to attend the ceremony when the couple walked down the aisle in 2022.

“Violet stayed home because she’s extremely loyal to her mom,” a source revealed. The girl decided not to expose herself and her mother to the public fame surrounding that wedding out of respect for her mother, Jennifer Garner.

Jennifer Garner, on the other hand, chose not to attend the ceremony as well, and Ben Affleck informed her of this at the last minute. She stated, “Ben did tell Jen about the wedding, but I’m told that it was only Friday at the earliest. It was very, very minimally planned in advance and was largely spur-of-the-moment.”

The relationship between Violet Affleck and Jennifer Lopez has grown stronger over time, illuminating a lovely bond between the stepdaughter and stepmother. The two have recently been seen leaving the house together for an exclusive lunch outing.

Since Violet entered Jennifer's life as a stepmother, she has worked to forge a close bond with her using her nurturing and caring nature. One of the many ways they spend quality time together is by going out to lunch.

The singer is demonstrating that meaningful connections can develop in any family, no matter how it was created, and she is overjoyed with her new role as a stepmother. “We are so grateful to have that in abundance, a new wonderful family of five amazing children and a life that we have never had more reason to look forward to.”
