Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Ben Affleck, are happily in love. The two exchanged vows on July 17, 2022, in Las Vegas. Affleck and Lopez were previously married and had kids with their former partners.
Lopez was married to Marc Anthony, and the couple have two kids, 15-year-old twins Maximilian and Emme. Affleck and his ex Jennifer Garner share three kids: Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11.

Lopez, Garner, and Affleck now have a blended family they love and cherish. The “Hustlers” actress said most of their kids are now teens who prefer their independence to hanging out with their parents all the time.
However, Lopez loves how she, Garner, and Affleck have beautifully blended their families. Lopez said at 15, her twins are now developing their individual personalities and challenging everything she does and says. The actress added that she now just rides the waves with her kids.
Lopez also opened up about having more kids after she had her twins.

The “Selena” star also revealed that after she gave birth to Maximilian and Emme, she faced some postpartum challenges. Lopez noted that she was “feeling insecure and uncertain” about her body after giving birth and was trying to figure out how she could possibly get back to her previous body.

As most new moms are after giving birth, Lopez wasn’t so happy with her body. So, she called celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson, who helped her get back in shape. Over the years, Anderson has taught the actress to embrace and love every version of her body.

The Possibility of an Affleck-Lopez Child
Affleck and Garner have three kids, but the actress revealed in 2012 that her then-husband wanted more kids. However, Garner said she wasn’t anticipating having more kids as she hadn’t realized how much more work was needed to raise three kids.
Lopez also opened up about having more kids after she had her twins. The actress was engaged to her ex, Alex Rodriguez, when she discussed possibly having more kids. Lopez said she wanted to have more kids, especially if that was God’s plan for her. She added that she would try and was open to the idea.
