Lopez, a mother to 15-year-old twins Emme and Maximilian, and Affleck, a father of three—Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel—from his previous marriage to Jennifer Garner, have beautifully blended their families into one. In fact, another onlooker stated they were like 'any other family there' and added, "They looked like they were having a good time. They were both very kind and very friendly."
Affleck and Lopez's genuine, unapologetic PDA during the outing made a lasting mark on all who saw it. Onlookers described a couple very much in love, relishing their time together. Fans of the couple were also elated upon seeing this clip make rounds on social media, given that the Jenny from the Block singer was not very happy about the 'deep connection' Affleck shares with ex-wife Gardner, as was reported by OK! Magazine.

Since Lopez and Affleck tied the knot in summer 2022, their respective children have smoothly transitioned into life as a blended family. When going on international trips or doing everyday activities, Lopez's and Affleck's kids have showcased their strong bonds. Both Lopez and Affleck place top priority on parenting amid their hectic lives, working to maintain a close-knit family dynamic.
Lopez's role as a mother deeply informed her acclaimed performance in the Netflix film The Mother earlier this year. In a June interview with Vogue Mexico, Lopez explained how playing the character led her to reflect on raising her children as they enter their adulthood. She thoughtfully discussed the complexities of evolving from a traditional mother-child relationship to one between adults. She contemplated the future of their interactions, the potential for secrecy, and the importance of maintaining openness in their family dynamic as her twins continue to grow.
Nonetheless, according to the report by Entertainment Tonight, "Jen and Ben both have a lot of projects in the works but are still making an effort to spend time together." The source adds that "Ben and Jen try to keep things as normal as possible for their children."
