Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck continue to stay connected with the kids despite divorce: Report

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are deeply committed to maintainiing close contact despite their divorce. Sources note that the two remain tight as can be when families are concerned, and were once spotted attending various functions that support their children from previous relationships.

On December 13, the co-parents were spotted appearing in unison with Jennifer Garner for her kids' school play, proving all's well after all these years. This is yet another instance in which former flames have grown apart while remaining cooperative because of a deep concern about the kids' welfare. It is more than four months since Lopez filed her divorce suit against Affleck, yet the couple does not give any signs of acting hostile or antagonistic with each other.

According to an insider, even though they separated, Lopez and Affleck are still pretty close to each other and have vowed to remain part of each other's lives, especially with regards to the children. The couple is not exactly co-parenting but continues to be in close communication and acts like a typical blended family. They have been spotted attending family events together, including brunches in Beverly Hills, suggesting that their bond, although not conventional, is still going strong for the sake of the children.

Even though the two do not have children together, Lopez and Affleck are very actively involved in each other's families. Lopez has twins, Emme and Max, with her former husband Marc Anthony, whereas Affleck has three children—Violet, Fin, and Samuel—with his former wife Jennifer Garner. As a result, this sets up the families to maintain a continued closeness after the break-up of their romantic life.

The source further stated that Lopez and Affleck, though they don't see eye to eye on most things, still respect one another. Though their relationship has changed, and "things haven't been the same" since the split, they both respect each other's history and maintain a positive relationship. Their commitment to the children's school events only adds to their amiable relationship because the children remain close, and their encounters are still pleasant.

In the end, Lopez and Affleck's concentration on the children has helped them set a positive example of coexistence, ensuring that the kids can see their co-parents remain friendly and cooperative even after their romantic relationship has ended.
