The relations of Violet Affleck with her stepmother, Jennifer Lopez

Violet Affleck, 19 is the daughter of former couple, Ben Affleck, 52 and Jennifer Garner, 52. When her father started a relationship with American singer and songwriter, Jennifer Lopez, 55, Jennifer Lopez tried to make it a blended family.

Therefore, she was also very close to Ben’s kids with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Violet had left the West Coast in the summer of 2024 to join Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut in the East coast. It was a big move. Just a few months before in April 2024, Ben and Jennifer Lopez had separated.

Despite that, Jennifer Lopez kept in touch with Violet. The two were spotted at Hamptons together. Moreover, Violet was wearing her stepmother’s dress at that time. Later, Violet was also with Jennifer Lopez’s sister, Lynda Lopez. Lynda is a journalist and she paid a visit to Violet at her University last year.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s reaction

Both the parents of Violet, Ben and Jennifer Garner did not like Violet meeting Jennifer Lopez after the latter separated from Ben. However, they did not prohibit their daughter from doing so because they did not want to interfere in her happiness.

In fact, Ben was in deep mental anguish on seeing Violet with his ex. But he too decided to not hold her back for the sake of her happiness. Both parents did not want to trouble their daughter during those turbulent days for all.

Violet had just become an adult but she wondered whether Jennifer Lopez had some ulterior motives in continuing to meet her after her divorce from her dad. Moreover, she saw her father’s anguish when she met his ex. She did not like it and made a conscious decision to stay away from her stepmother and cut off all ties with her.

What an insider revealed?

An insider told that Violet felt used like a pawn in the process. Ben and Jennifer Garner have a very deep relationship between them despite the fact that they have separated. Ben is willing to do anything for Jennifer Garner. He had said:

“There’s nothing in the world I wouldn’t do for her.”

He feels that she is a great person. Violet is also a mature girl. The source said:

“Over time, Violet began to realize how upset her father was that their breakup was the center of everything. Ben never said a word about JLo.”

The insider continued:

“Violet is very smart and ultimately will always be daddy’s girl. That’s why we don’t see her on public outings with JLo anymore, as her more affectionate outings were during the divorce process with Ben and not before, as she would have liked. That’s why Violet feels used and no longer wants to see JLo.”

The official divorce of Jennifer Lopez and Ben came through in January this year.
