American singer and actress Jennifer Lopez and her estranged husband, actor and filmmaker Ben Affleck, are reportedly making plans to remain in each other’s lives following their divorce.
According to a source speaking to Page Six on Tuesday, the couple, who are currently in the process of finalizing their split, intends to stay “connected” despite no longer being romantically involved.
“They have every intention of continuing to be in each other’s lives despite not being romantically involved,” the insider revealed.
This update follows nearly four months after Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck on August 20, which coincidentally marked their second wedding anniversary.
During their relationship and marriage, Lopez and Affleck’s children were often seen together, and they are said to play a significant role in keeping the ex-couple involved in each other’s lives. The source added that the two “communicate when it involves their kids.”
Affleck has three children from his previous marriage to actress Jennifer Garner—Violet, 18; Fin, 15; and Samuel, 12. Lopez shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony. The children are reportedly attending the same school, which provides opportunities for the families to spend time together, with the exception of Violet, who began her freshman year at Yale this semester.
Despite the tensions that marked the final months of their short marriage, the source noted that Lopez and Affleck maintain “mutual respect” for each other, and this respect is strong enough to endure after their divorce.
“Ben and Jennifer remain amicable whenever they do see each other,” the source said. “They’re still close with each other’s children, and even though they don’t have a co-parenting type of relationship, they still feel like a blended family in a lot of ways.”
