Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez will soon celebrate their first anniversary as husband and wife. And as early as now, the Batman v Superman actor already has something planned.
Us Weekly, in its Feb. 20 issue, claimed that Affleck wants his first anniversary with Lopez to be a family affair. After all, they have five kids together. And there are also rumors that their blended family can get even bigger.
“The word is Ben’s renting an island and will fly in their entire families for a week of celebrations. Jennifer loves the kids and they all get along,” the source said.
The source said that Affleck and Lopez have also been expired to grow their family after seeing how their kids have bonded with each other in the past year.
“They go back and forth. On the one hand, they feel they’re past that stage, but on the other, they’d love another. Jennifer is in the best shape of her life, so never say never,” the source said.
However, this is in stark contrast to what Woman’s Day reported about Affleck and Lopez. The tabloid claimed that the couple isn’t on the same page when it comes to expanding their family.
Lopez is allegedly the one who is most keen to have another baby via IVF, but Affleck isn’t necessarily on board.
“The honeymoon period is well and truly over for Ben and Jennifer. The past few months have been hard on them. He has kids, the pair are in their 50s and he knows his sobriety is going to be a constant battle for the rest of his life. It takes up all his energy, and as much as he’d love to share a child with Jennifer, he’s just not convinced it would work out. If he’s really getting cold feet, she would probably feel like her dreams have been crushed,” the source said.
However, one should take all these claims with a grain of salt. Affleck and Lopez’s anniversary plans will be a surprise to their fans just like what happened during their two weddings.
It’s unlikely for Affleck to share what he has in store for his wife since it’s intended to be a surprise.
It is also important to note that Affleck and Lopez have not said anything about wanting to have a baby.
