Jennifer Lopez and husband Ben Affleck’s happy family are said to be feeling uneasy amid rumors they are about to divorce.
Despite these challenges, anonymous sources tell In Touch Weekly that the strong bond between Affleck’s children, Violet, Fin, and Samuel, as well as the singer’s children, Emme and Max, remains undiminished by the ongoing troubles.
“The kids are old enough to know what’s going on. They’re obviously upset about it. In a perfect world, they’d love it if there was some way Ben and J.Lo could work things out, but they’re all pretty resigned that it’s not going to happen,” an insider told the outlet.
“They have a great relationship; they still hang out and talk all the time,” the insider said of the estranged couple’s children. “They’re not going to let this divorce ruin what they have.”
The Daily Mail recently reported that Lopez and Affleck, who are set to marry in 2022, have decided to divorce. The outlet claims that divorce papers have reportedly been signed and they are just waiting for the right time to file. Music Times was unable to independently verify the information.
While the couple have been living apart in recent months, Affleck’s children have maintained a relationship with the “Get Right” singer.
According to an insider source told In Touch Weekly, Violet and her siblings still maintain a close relationship with Lopez, with Affleck’s eldest child spending time in the Hamptons with the “Hustlers” star.
The source added that Lopez has shifted her focus to her children as she tries to support Affleck’s children during this time. While she initially envisioned this journey with Affleck by her side, circumstances have forced her to take on the role independently. The children are said to have developed genuine feelings for their stepmother.
Despite their marriage being in jeopardy, Lopez and Affleck are said to still prioritize family above all else.
Throughout this transition, they always made sure that their children and family remained their top priority.

Meanwhile, a new report by the Daily Mail claims to have revealed the underlying reasons behind Affleck’s decision to end his marriage to Lopez.
An unnamed friend of Affleck’s confirmed to the newspaper that Lopez’s Delola wine company was the last straw for the actor.
As a recovering alcoholic, the “Gone Girl” star reportedly viewed his wife’s involvement in selling vodka and tequila as not only a personal insult, but also a potential threat to his hard-won sobriety.
The insider added that Affleck’s struggle with addiction has been a long and difficult process.
They added that when the new brand launched last year, the “Argo” director was said to have suffered from depression, and his pain was even greater when he realized Lopez’s decision to introduce the drink line was only for money-making purposes.
“Ben has been struggling to get his life back together after quitting drinking,” a source told the Daily Mail. “Knowing that she had lost everything, including the love of her family, and knowing that she could relapse, Jen decided to start a spritzer business to make some extra money, as if she didn’t have enough money.”
“That’s one of the things that made things worse. But Ben kept his sanity,” the insider added.
