Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have officially split, with news that the latter has filed for divorce. Fans may wonder how this will impact their blended family.
Ben's own children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner — Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12 — remain close with JLo's twins Max and Emme. While separation rumors reached headlines though, many remarked on the fact that the children all seemed to spend time together throughout it. There's no doubt that through these difficult divorce proceedings, the former couple will put their families first and try to maintain strong bonds throughout.
Ben's three children have grown up in the spotlight as a result of their parents' high-profile relationship, with their marriage lasting from 2005-2018. And over the years, they've grown into adorable versions of their parents, such as when Fin used their new name publicly for the first time, seen in the clip below…
Take a look at some of the cutest public moments from Violet, Fin, and Samuel in the spotlight in photos…
