Ben and Jennifer took the world by storm when getting married for the second time last year.

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.”
