Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are allegedly headed for divorce in 2024. The couple tied the knot in 2022, and Lopez was happy to take on the role of stepmom to Ben and Jennifer Garner’s three kids: Violet Affleck, 18, Fin Affleck, 15, and Samuel Affleck, 12. Lopez has twins, Max and Emme Muniz, 16, who adore Ben’s kids. Lopez and Violet developed a particularly close relationship as stepmom and stepdaughter. And Violet allegedly refuses to stop talking to Lopez if Lopez and Ben go their separate ways.
Violet Affleck and Jennifer Lopez became incredibly close through the years. The stepdaughter and stepmom were seen arm-in-arm shopping in the Hamptons over the summer of 2024. And Violet wore Lopez’s famous Dolce & Gabbana dress on another occasion. A source told DailyMail.com in August 2024 that Violet wants her father, Ben Affleck, to stay with Lopez despite their marital difficulties.
“Violet does wish her dad Ben would stay with J.Lo,” the source said. “She wasn’t living in their house and did not see the extent of the breakdown, but she got extremely close to J.Lo over the past couple of years, and it broke her heart when they split.”
The source added that Violet “is not going to stop talking” to Lopez and purposely made a “statement” by wearing her dress. “Those close to her thought it was bizarre,” the source continued.
“Ben is neither bothered or unbothered by Violet’s closeness with J.Lo, as Violet is an adult and can have relationships with anyone she chooses,” the insider continued. “Unfortunately for her, wearing J.Lo’s dress in public is not going to affect Ben’s divorce at all.”
Another insider told DailyMail.com that Violet is “championing” her father and Lopez “getting back together.” She wants to stay close to Lopez’s twins.
“Violet is a Daddy’s girl and a family first person and is best friends with J.Lo’s kids,” the source said. “She considers them her sister and brother.”
