Jennifer Lopez Opens up About ‘Emotional Transition’ of Blending Families With Ben Affleck 

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have been back together for a while now, and their love story is nothing short of a romantic movie. In a recent interview, Lopez opened up about her life with Affleck and how it was blending families with him. While promoting her upcoming rom-com ‘Shotgun Wedding’ with Josh Duhamel, she stated, “We moved in together, the kids moved in together. So it’s been, like, a really kind of emotional transition. But at the same time, like, all your dreams coming true and it’s just been a phenomenal year. Like, my best year, I think, since my kids were born.”

Jennifer Lopez has twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Antony, and Ben Affleck has three children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel with Jennifer Garner. J.Lo. spoke about her kids becoming acquainted with her back catalog of films just recently. “They’ve watched ‘Maid in Manhattan’ and ‘The Wedding Planner’, funnily enough,” she said. “They haven’t gotten into, like, the ‘Out of Sights’ or the… they saw ‘Selena’. It was kinda sweet ’cause I don’t think they realize that she passed away! And so at the end of the movie, they were like, ‘No!’ They were, like, really terrified. I was like, ‘Oh my God, I thought you knew!'”

Lopez also talked about her upcoming studio album, ‘This Is Me… Now’, and its connection to her first engagement to Affleck. “The last time Ben and I were together to this album, it’s been such a journey,” she said. “The thing that I think I’ve been wondering about my whole life is like, ‘Is love real? Does true love exist?’ It’s two people kind of coming together and saying, you know, ‘I’m gonna be here no matter what and we’re gonna get through it together.'”
