Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, who married in Georgia on August 21, 2022, have recently been leading separate lives. The 54-year-old actress from Atlas has been traveling in Europe and spending time in the Hamptons with friends, while 51-year-old Ben has been focused on his work in Los Angeles.
Their children, who used to spend a lot of time together, are now divided and they do not like this one bit, it seems.
According to a source from DailyMail.com, the five children have been quietly working behind the scenes to reconcile Lopez and Affleck.
"The kids think Jennifer and Ben are really, deeply in love, like soul mates and they don't want them to divorce," said the insider.
"They want them to work it out for better or for worse, like their vows said. And they do feel that the two should continue counseling and talking it out, even if it is painful.
"They feel like if they do and say the right things that there could be more peace."
The insider mentioned that the kids are hopeful the two will reconcile before her 55th birthday on July 24.
"They are hopeful they could all celebrate together for a mellow family party in Los Angeles," the source added.
Regarding their efforts to help the couple find peace, the insider revealed, "They highlight the positive attributes each have."
The source also noted a general sentiment that Affleck could relax a bit.
"He is a prickly one, he can be grumpy, that is true for sure. He is not a happy-go-lucky kind of dude, even if he is very intelligent and funny. The kids are trying to get him to lighten up and let stuff go," the insider added.
It turns out Lopez has her flaws too: She needs to work less and relax more.
The twins' dad Marc Anthony has always said that Jennifer needs to relax and enjoy her life more. "He told her for years and years to do this," the source added.
The kids have another motive: they all like each other and want to stay family.
The kids get along great, especially Emme and Fin; they are best friends and talk every day, said the insider.
Regarding Ben's ex-wife Garner, she is supportive of whatever is best for the children.
"She is a supermom and always puts the kids first, so if the kids want Ben and Jennifer to get back together, she is on board with that," another source shared.
All is not lost with their efforts though. According to Us Weekly, it remains highly possible that Ben and Jennifer could reconcile even with all the dire reports for the past weeks.
"Jennifer suggested they just take time to figure it out," the source revealed.
Additionally, it was noted that Bennifer 2.0 "still haven't made a decision" regarding their relationship status.
