Ben Affleck has reportedly lost contact with Jennifer Lopez’s two kids despite the singer’s continued efforts to spend time with his children amid their divorce.
An insider told People Sunday that Affleck “has not been in touch” with Lopez’s 16-year-old twins, Max and Emme, even though she is “still close” to the actor’s three kids — Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12 — and his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
“The fact that he has not seen her kids in a long time — it’s like he left, but she is especially close to his kids,” the source said, referring to J.Lo’s various outings with her stepchildren over the summer.
The insider added that the “Let’s Get Loud” hitmaker even publicly praised Affleck for being a good father in the past.
“[Jennifer] went out there and told the world what a great dad he was,” the source told the outlet, noting that the “Argo” actor is “close to his three kids.”
According to the insider, Lopez also maintains a close relationship with the kids that her ex-husband Marc Anthony had before their marriage.
“She keeps in touch with the children and she’s a good mom,” they said.
Reps for Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Throughout the summer, Lopez has been seen hanging out with Affleck’s children despite their marital woes.
“Just because she’s not with Ben, doesn’t mean that she doesn’t care about his kids,” a source told People earlier this month.
In July, Violet joined the “Marry Me” star in the Hamptons weeks before starting her freshman year at Yale University.
The stepmother-stepdaughter duo appeared affectionate as they grabbed ice cream and walked with their arms wrapped around each other.
Earlier this month, the “Selena” star also stepped out with Samuel for a day of shopping before returning the pre-teen to the Oscar winner’s rental home in Brentwood, Calif.
More than a week later, Lopez filed to divorce the “Gone Girl” actor on Aug. 20, listing their separation date as April 26.
The estranged couple eloped in Las Vegas in July 2022 before hosting a larger ceremony with their loved ones in Georgia a month later.
Following J.Lo’s divorce filing, a source told Page Six that both her and Affleck’s children were ready to move on from their split, saying, “His kids are taking it fine as are hers.”
Amid the separation, the “Town” star has recently been spending quality time with his kids, from teaming up with Garner to drop Violet off at Yale to a movie night with Seraphina in Marina Del Rey, Calif.
