Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Share Warm Embrace at the Airport

This weekend, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck headed to the Hamptons Airport in New York with Affleck’s son, 11-year-old Samuel. They appeared to be heading out on a family trip and took a moment to share a sweet embrace in the airport’s lobby. J.Lo was in her traveling attire, wearing an oversized shearling coat in tan by Coach from their Autumn/Winter 2021 collection. She had on loose khaki pants and white sneakers.

The musician and actress’s hair was up in a messy bun, and she appeared to be rocking a no makeup look. Her husband was in a navy sweatshirt with a black peacoat, grey jeans, and Nike sneakers and was carrying a grey backpack.

Lopez recently told Extra on the red carpet of her movie Shotgun Wedding that she has loved combining her family with Affleck’s since they got back together. In addition to Samuel, Affleck has two other children with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 17-year-old Violet and 14-year-old Seraphina. Lopez shares twins Emme and Max with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.

“It’s going really, really well, amazing, we have five beautiful, beautiful children, blessings,” Lopez said of the marriage.

In January while on Today, Lopez described 2022 as her “best year” in a long time.

“We moved in together; the kids moved in together,” she explained. “So it’s been, like, a really kind of emotional transition. But at the same time, like, all your dreams are coming true, and it’s just been a phenomenal year. Like, my best year, I think, since my kids were born.”

The couple were married in a whirlwind ceremony in Las Vegas last July, then had a much larger ceremony with all of their friends and family in August on Affleck’s estate in Georgia.
