Ben Affleck’s three children, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel are allegedly excited to meet Jennifer Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme.
In its June 7 issue, New Idea claimed that Affleck’s two older children have been begging the actor to ask Lopez out on a date as early as January. So, when they found out that their dad is already dating Lopez, they couldn’t hide their excitement.
“They’re both taking credit for the matchmaking which is cute. Ben’s kids are very laid-back, but Jen’s twins are very passionate – it could be like mixing oil and water,” the source said.
The insider added that Lopez’s children took it pretty hard when they found out that their mom and Alex Rodriguez were splitting. But it was Emme that suffered more because she was close to Rodriguez’s daughters, Natasha and Ella.
So, there are concerns that it might be difficult for Emme to open up to Affleck’s children in an instant. But the A-listers hope that she will also become close to Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel.
“Emme and Max do know why their mom ended things and all about the cheating rumors, so they have come to terms with it. But opening up to a whole new cache of stepsiblings so soon could be too much,” the source said.
However, Affleck is allegedly confident that he could win Lopez’s children’s hearts. After all, he’s a renowned and awarded actor, unlike Rodriguez who is just a baseball player.
Meanwhile, the source claimed that Affleck’s ex-wife, Jennifer Garner supports his budding relationship with Lopez. And the latter’s ex, Marc Anthony is also thrilled for his ex-wife to have reunited with Affleck.
Anthony and Garner have also allegedly spoken to each other. And they have agreed to give their former partners time to get to know each other.
But as exciting as the tabloid’s claims are, they are not true. Affleck and Lopez have not introduced their children to each other.
Their exes don’t also have anything to do with their relationship. If Affleck and Lopez really want to date, Garner and Anthony won’t have any say about their relationship.
It is also important to note that Affleck and Garner divorced a long time ago. And Lopez and Anthony have been divorced for almost a decade. The exes are good friends and co-parents to their children, which may be why they are still concerned about each other.
