New insights into Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s ongoing dynamic emerge nearly four months after Lopez filed for divorce on August 20—coincidentally the couple’s second anniversary.
Though their marriage ended, their children remain central in maintaining a connection between the exes.
A source revealed that they ‘communicate when it involves their kids,’ with both Lopez and Affleck’s children often involved in family events.
Affleck shares three children with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner—Violet, 18; Fin, 15; and Samuel, 12—while Lopez’s children, Emme and Emme, also plays a key role in the family interactions.
Meanwhile, Ben was recently spotted at Garner’s home. The two finalized their divorce in 2018 after 13 years of marriage.
Sources informed DailyMail.com that Garner ‘no longer wishes’ to be in contact with Lopez following the end of her marriage to Affleck.

Insiders previously told DailyMail.com that she had felt like a ‘pawn’ after acting as Ben and Jennifer’s ‘marriage counselor’ amid the breakdown of the former couple’s two-year marriage.
‘Jen no longer wishes to have communication with JLo unless it is do with the kids,’ the source recently stated.
‘Her friends feel she shouldn’t have allowed herself to get so involved in helping JLo to fix her marriage to Ben.’
The insider added, ‘Especially considering Jen felt pitted against JLo at times during their own marriage. Jen is too nice and truly wanted to help, so she tried.’
Violet was recently seen posing for a selfie with Lopez’s sister, Lynda, who paid her a visit at Yale – which had left both Garner and Affleck ‘confused.’
The Deadpool & Wolverine actress found the photo ‘odd,’ but will not say anything negative about the singer or her sister.
‘JLo getting close to Violet felt odd to Jen and then Lynda popping up at Violet’s school. Jen’s loyalty is to the father of her kids – Ben – and their children. Because they love JLo.’
The insider added, ‘But Jen would never badmouth her or speak negatively about her. Everyone knows that if JLo wanted to spend time with her children aside from Violet, it would have to go through Jen.
Garner recently sparked engagement rumors with her boyfriend, John Miller.
While driving in Los Angeles, the actress could be seen wearing band on her ring finger.
