However, they infamously postponed their 2003 wedding three days before the ceremony and parted ways in 2004.The pair rekindled their romance and finally tied the knot in 2022. Their marriage, however, was short-lived, with their divorce finalized in January, 2025.During their time together, it is believed the former couple spent time with each other’s children on different occasions.Share iconImage credits: michaelrubinLopez is a mother to twins Max and Emme, who she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, while Affleck shares Violet, Fin, and Samuel with Garner.As Affleck was headed for his second divorce last year, the actor and his first wife Garner were reportedly confused about why Violet wanted to spend time with Lopez.“Violet has a strong attachment to JLo and her family,” a source told Daily Mail last November.They also claimed the teenager looked up to the Unstoppable actress and her sister Lynda, and she wanted to maintain the bond with them.“It’s quite confusing to Ben and Jen [Garner] because they do not understand why Violet is so adamant on keeping her close,” the insider said at the time.Share iconImage credits: jloLast August, in what seemed to be a show of solidarity, Violet was pictured wearing the very same Dolce and Gabbana dress that Lopez wore on a previous Valentine’s Day date with her father.When Affleck and Lopez began heading for a split, Violet was “heartbroken” and wished they would stay together.“She wasn’t living in their house and did not see the extent of the breakdown,” a source told the outlet last August, “but she got extremely close to JLo over the past couple of years and it broke her heart when they split.”Following his split with Lopez, sources also claimed that Affleck has been spending more time with Garner than he ever has since their divorce was finalized in 2018.They are “closer than they’ve ever been since their divorce,” the source told Page Six.Share iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconShare iconBy entering your email and clicking Subscribe, you’re agreeing to let us send you customized marketing messages about us and our advertising partners.

Having a bond with your step parent and their family is not a bad thing, and divorce is hard on everyone – especially kids. I don’t blame Violet for having confused feelings about her relationship with JLo, and taking a step back from her if she needs time to process. At the same time, I also don’t blame JLo or her family for continuing to want a positive relationship with her if that’s what they had during the marriage. Now, I certainly hope that JLo et al respects Violet’s boundaries, but generally this all seems like normal pitfalls in divorce.I dislike Jlo very much. She does commercials for online gambling, useless vitamins and so on. You’re rich enough, stop preying on your fans. Pathetic.Yet another post that no one cares about BPThat you clicked on.This doesn’t seem like much of a story tbh.
