Jennifer Garner Feels Good About Her ‘New Family Dynamic’ with Ben Affleck and J.Lo

A source close to the families told ET that the kids get along nicely, and Affleck’s ex-wife (Garner) and wife (Lopez) are coexisting well. Lopez shares 15-year-old twins, Max and Emme, with ex Marc Anthony, while Garner and Ben Affleck are parents to Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11. The source says that they are “learning and growing together as a new, extended family.”

Lopez and Affleck will celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary next month and recently ended a months-long house hunt by dropping $60 million on a Beverly Hills property. Garner, whose divorce with Affleck was finalized in late 2018, wants the move to be a smooth experience for the kids. “They have open communication and both are working to make this transition the best it could possibly be,” ET‘s source says, adding that Affleck and Garner have a “healthy” coparenting style.
