J.Lo’s Honest Talk with Kids Amid Ben Affleck Divorce

Jennifer Lopez isn’t scared of having tough conversations with her kids.

Several months following the conclusion of her divorce with Ben Affleck, the singer from “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” revealed her approach to informing her 17-year-old twins Max and Emme – whom she co-parents with Marc Anthony – about the dissolution of their marriage.

Jennifer, aged 55, stated during her interview with El Pais on May 2nd, “I assured them that this challenging period would make me emerge stronger and improved on the other side, and I’ve kept that promise.” She added, “They can now feel it, which brings a deep sense of tranquility to my life.

In January, Jennifer and Ben, who were 52 years old at the time, finalized their divorce, which had been initiated by Jennifer back in August 2024, marking five months since the initial filing to dissolve their two-year union. For Jennifer, guiding her children through this significant life change has instilled a deep sense of accomplishment within her.

As I reflect on my journey, I find joy in recognizing how much progress I’ve made compared to where I was a year ago, two years ago, three years ago. I take pride in myself for overcoming challenges and guiding my children through tough times. The strength they’ve developed and the improvement in their lives because of it fills me with immense satisfaction.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but feel a sense of joy and admiration when I see Ben, despite our romantic past, maintaining a beautiful bond with Max, Emme, and their half-siblings – Violet, Serafina, and Samuel. This heartwarming display was on full show at the premiere of his newest movie, “The Accountant 2,” where he was surrounded by Jennifer Garner’s children as well.

Ben shared during the April 16 event that “Jen’s children are present here,” as he told Entertainment Tonight. He went on to express his admiration for Jennifer Lopez, stating she is fantastic with his kids, maintaining a positive relationship with them. He also praised her children, saying they are wonderful. He added that Jennifer is an incredibly important and remarkable individual of great integrity whom he deeply appreciates and is thankful for.

The Oscar-winning individual expressed that forming connections with such children brings immense happiness to them, stating, “These relationships make up the very essence of my life.” They went on to praise the children, saying, “They are truly remarkable, and I’m overjoyed that this film appeals to them.

In my own words, I’d like to clarify some aspects regarding my marital life and its conclusion. Contrary to popular speculation, there was neither a sensational event, dramatic series plotline, nor hidden mysteries surrounding our decision to part ways.

In his interview with GQ, published on March 25, he explained that when you ask someone, ‘What happened?’, there’s no straightforward answer like, ‘This is what happened.’ Instead, it’s a narrative about individuals trying to navigate their lives and relationships much like we all do in our everyday lives.
