Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are still proceeding with their divorce. The pair confirmed their split following rumors about their marriage struggles, and despite reuniting at the Beverly Hills Hotel after filing for divorce, they are ready to move on with their lives and start a new chapter in their personal and professional lives.
Despite not being together romantically, they are still amicable, as they successfully built a blended family while they were together, and their kids are very close. Ben shares three kids with his former wife Jennifer Garner; Fin, Samuel, and Violet.
Meanwhile, Jennifer is a proud mom of twins Emme and Max from her previous relationship with Marc Anthony. “They have every intention of continuing to be in each other’s lives despite not being romantically involved,” a source told Page Six about their new relationship following news of their divorce.
“Ben and Jennifer are still connected and they do communicate when it involves their kids," the insider detailed to the publication. It was also reported that despite their separation and ongoing legal arrangements, the two stars “have a mutual respect for one another,” which is “not something that goes away” overnight. “Obviously things haven’t been the same, but they have a lot of history,” the insider explained.
“Ben and Jennifer remain amicable whenever they do see each other," the source added. "They’re still close with each other’s children, and even though they don’t have a co-parenting type of relationship, they still feel like a blended family in a lot of ways.”
Another source told the Daily Mail that JLo is focused on herself following the failed romance and is not looking to date at the moment. "She is focused on her work and wants 2025 to be the year she gets back to being herself. She isn't actively looking to date right now and is still processing losing Ben again," the insider added.
