Ben Affleck Enjoys Time With Daughter Seraphina Amid JLo Divorce

Ben Affleck seems to be prioritizing family as he was seen spending time with his daughter, Seraphina Affleck, following the news of his estranged wife Jennifer Lopez filing for divorce on August 20.

In recent photographs shared by various outlets, the 52-year-old actor appeared to be in low spirits. He was dressed in a blue button-down shirt over a gray t-shirt, complemented by khaki pants and Nike sneakers, while holding his phone. The duo was spotted heading into an AMC theater located in Marina Del Rey, California, for a movie night. Seraphina, who is 15, was dressed casually in a graphic t-shirt and cargo pants, joined by three friends.

This sighting follows another where Affleck was seen with Seraphina while he dropped off his eldest daughter, Violet, at Yale University, marking the beginning of her freshman year. He was accompanied on this occasion by his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Notably, their youngest son, Samuel, was absent from this family outing.

As Affleck spends quality time with his children, he is concurrently dealing with the implications of his divorce from the 55-year-old singer Lopez. She officially filed for divorce at the Los Angeles Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences. The court documents indicated that the couple’s separation occurred on April 26, 2024. Lopez has also expressed the desire to revert her last name from Affleck back to Lopez.

The rumors regarding marital issues between the couple began circulating earlier this year. Notably, the couple did not celebrate their two-year wedding anniversary, which raised eyebrows. Additionally, they have put their shared home on the market.

An insider revealed to People that Affleck hasn’t given Lopez any indication of wanting to continue their marriage. They suggested he has shown little commitment or interest in making it work, leading Lopez to a point where she needs to prioritize her own well-being.

The couple, popularly known as “Bennifer,” had a history that dates back to the early 2000s. They initially became Hollywood’s darling couple before ending their engagement in 2004. A decade later, they reignited their romance and ultimately tied the knot. Now, while Affleck turns his attention to his kids, Lopez is also focusing on her children, Emme and Max, whom she shares with her ex-husband, singer Marc Anthony.

As both actors continue to navigate their new realities post-separation, it remains clear that family will remain an essential aspect of their lives amidst the changes they are facing. Each parent is committed to ensuring their children feel supported during this transitional period.
