Ben Affleck reportedly agreed to take over his daddy duties so that his wife, Jennifer Lopez could focus on her upcoming projects.
According to Us Weekly, Lopez couldn’t be more grateful to Affleck because he’s very hands-on with their five children combined.
However, some fans are also convinced that Affleck doesn’t have any choice but to take care of the kids because he doesn’t have any projects lined up.
“He’s been taking over daddy duties and helping out with the kids a lot. Jennifer adores the fact that he’s such a great father and that she can always rely on him. Ben’s been very supportive of her as well and has visited her on set, which she loves,” the source said.
The source added that Affleck and Lopez are lucky because they children get along well with each other. And they are also excited to spend time as a family.
Prior to their wedding, Affleck only had his three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner to worry about. Lopez, on the other hand, had two kids with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony.
But after the A-listers tied the knot, Affleck, Lopez, and their respective children all became a family unit. In fact, there are reports that Affleck’s kids regularly spend time at their dad and Lopez’s home, where twins Max and Emme currently reside.
Last month, the couple’s children made headlines after it was revealed that they were the ones that gave Affleck and Lopez away. In most weddings, the parents of the bride are the ones that give her away.
But since Affleck and Lopez are both adults and they have both been married before, it was their children who played the important part.
In her newsletter, Lopez also shared some details from her wedding day.
“As I walked down the aisle, the first song he played wasn't 'True Companion' however, it was his 'The Things We've Handed Down' — a song about the wonderful mystery of children — something we could only guess at back then, but it was the perfect choice as our five children preceded me on the walk,” Lopez wrote (via People).
Since their wedding, Affleck and Lopez have been on honeymoons with their children. But for now, the family is keeping a low profile because the kids are now back in school.
