> Amid Jennifer Lopez’s divorce from Ben Affleck, Lopez has remained close with Affleck’s children, but he has not been in contact with hers, according to a source.
> The source tells PEOPLE that the Hustlers actress, 55, often spoke of what a good father the Good Will Hunting actor, 52, is to his kids, Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, whom he shares with ex Jennifer Garner.
> The âJenny from the Blockâ singer is âstill close to Garner and all five kids,â the source says. The Gone Girl actor, meanwhile, is âclose to his three kidsâ but âhas not been in touch with her kids.â
> âThe fact that he has not seen her kids in a long time, itâs like he left, but she is especially close to his kids,â the source continues, citing Lopezâs attendance at Samuelâs graduation ceremony in June and Violet spending a week with the singer during her Hamptons vacation in July.

Sheâs gonna drag him through the mud especially now that we know that he was allegedly cheating on her.

I mean, he probably shouldnât be?
When you share kids, coparenting and staying in touch is a part of the bargain. But muddying the waters of their relationship when it obviously wasnât working anymore by using their separate children as go betweens isnât particularly healthy either.

This isnât all that shocking to me. I mean she has stated what a great father he. That doesnât necessarily mean that he ever took an interest in Max or Emme. She never explicitly stated anything in relation to her kids (that I recall) like she did with Arod. She actually told stories about how her kids met Arod & his kids and how they handled the various challenges of being a blended family. Granted part of that couldâve been because Ben insisted on privacy which Jen didnât have to worry about when she was with Arod. If you watch old interviews sheâs much more free & relaxed compared to guarded & careful (as if sheâs making sure sheâs watches what she says).

Her team is going scorched earth now, this is like the 3rd âpeople exclusiveâ in the past few days, heâs clearly really hurt her.

Serious question: does anyone, like, care? Maybe Iâm just too young but I wouldnât consider either of these people to be super relevant nowadays and I didnât even know they were married. Theyâre getting a ton of press for people of their status and everything just seems so petty and childish. I would understand if there were allegations of abuse but it seems like the worst that happened was some garden variety cheating⊠itâs just so unnecessary to make a huge spectacle of their basic divorce.Â

Jennifer’s kids have to be so effed up. Their dad is mostly deadbeat and mom moves them in with a new guy every year
