Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Garner, and Ben Affleck All United to Support Daughter Seraphina

In one of the first times since Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck got married, Lopez, Affleck, and Affleck’s ex-wife Jennifer Garner were all photographed together at an event to support Affleck and Garner’s 14-year-old daughter Seraphina.

Daily Mail ran photos of the three arriving at a performance hall in Santa Monica with their children to watch Seraphina perform. Lopez’s 14-year-old twins Emme and Max were there, along with Seraphina’s older sister Violet, 17, and younger brother Samuel, 10.

Lopez was dressed fashionably in a cropped Chanel teal-gray tweed jacket, a teal turtleneck, and jeans. Garner was slightly more casual in a gray turtleneck and jeans with a black coat and light blue sneakers. Affleck, meanwhile, dressed in all black and gray, pairing a black button-up with dark denim and a gray blazer. You can see photos of all of them here, on Daily Mail‘s site.

Lopez spoke warmly of Garner and her parenting style in her December 2022 Vogue interview. Lopez called Garner “an amazing co-parent, and they [Affleck and Garner] work really well together.”

Of blending their families, Lopez explained, “The transition is a process that needs to be handled with so much care. They [the kids] have so many feelings. They’re teens. But it’s going really well so far. What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his kids have a new ally in me and my kids have a new ally in him, someone who really loves and cares about them but can have a different perspective and help me see things that I can’t see with my kids because I’m so emotionally tied up.”
