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…

All three together
In 2018, all three kids joined their mom for her star ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It's one of the only public appearances from Fin, who prefers to lead their life more privately than their siblings.

Legal Ties
It seems like the oldest of the bunch has a pronounced interest in high-profile legal events, as in 2015, at just nine years old, she joined her mom as they listened to Ben testify before a Senate Appropriations State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Subcommittee.
Courtside!
The 12-year-old has often joined his parents courtside at major games, including this one earlier this month at a game between the Houston Dash and the Angel City FC.
Runs in the family
Violet has shown an appreciation for a good game as well, seen here with her mom at a basketball game between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Clippers in 2015.
JLo joins in
Samuel also has a strong bond with his stepmom, as he joined her and his dad at a basketball match between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors this March.
