Jennifer Lopez's Twins 'Hope to Stay Friends' With Ben Affleck's 3 Kids After Their Parents' Divorce
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's kids aren't splitting apart just because of their parents decision to do so.
According to a news source, the "On the Floor" singer's twins, Max and Emme, 16, and the Gone Girl actor's three children, Violet, 18, Fin (née Seraphina), 15, and Samuel, 12, are determined to remain close despite Lopez filing for divorce from Affleck on Tuesday, August 20.
Lopez, 55, and her estranged husband's combined five kids "hope to stay friends and in each other's lives' in the wake of their split," the insider recently spilled to a news publication less than one month after the split was confirmed.
In the wake of their marital demise, all Lopez and Affleck, 52, want is for their children to know "how loved they are and they will be supported on all sides as they navigate their new normal," the confidante continued.
As for how the "Let's Get Loud" hitmaker and the Air star — whose official date of separation was cited as April 26 in Lopez's divorce documents — plan to move forward after the end of their marriage, the source noted: "Jennifer and Ben are both staying focused on work with current projects and new endeavors. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster for everyone, but all parties are doing their best."
Meanwhile, Affleck and his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, have "already figured out a healthy balance in the co-parenting space," the insider added regarding the parents-of-three. "They are both very supportive of one another and always will be."
